new guests, new projects

I am sorry for ignoring my blog for a bit, but the holiday season is here. We really didn't have many plans this year, but things just came together this year. A visit to Cincy, followed by a visit from the Ledger clan. They are making their first wintry escape to the south, I only hope that our yo-yo of a thermometer is more up than down. We have had several days in the 50's and even one day that topped 60 last week. If it is cold, I will just blame them for bringing it with them, like any other southerner would.

We were in the midst of starting a renovation of our office/ mom's vacation room, when we got the news of the post- Christmas visit. The homemade desk and dozens of nail holes took their toll on the room the last few years. So it was time for a facelift.

This was already planned as a winter project, but now it has a more certain timeline. Fortunately, I am done with the spackle and sanding, today I am working on painting trim.

The wall color is a secret, but it will be an earthen tone like some of our other rooms finished recently. So that makes one of my New Years resolutions to do all of the door and window trim painting.
