Intro

I entered middle age a few years ago...okay, a little more than a few. Our daughters are 28 and 26. After they left, I cautiously redecorated their bedrooms. I did the usual, donated "Lucky" brand jeans (left from 3rd grade) and stuffed animals to a local thrift store. Next, I threw away countless plastic bags from "The Gap" and other retailers. Some of them included various amounts of change, which of course I took as my housekeeping fee. Every $6.40 helps!

I slowly bought new furniture items that I liked - a futon and frame, small roll-top desk, area rugs and lamps. One room was starting to resemble my new "office" which would double as a guest room when necessary. One morning as I was getting ready to leave for work, I heard (and felt) a very large boom-crash. I cautiously walked upstairs to find the dust clearing and about half of the ceiling of my new room on the floor. Ah, the joys of owning an antique house...

Slowly making progress again

I know, right? Two posts from me within minutes!!! Well, they were unrelated subjects and I do want to upload a picture of one "guest" room - former daughter room #1. At this point, it would be for guests who we do not want to ever see again. Sometimes if I post a photo, it's so embarrassing that I want to get it cleaned up faster so that I can post the "after pic" and then I'll feel a little better about myself. I have been slowly chipping way at it, about a grocery bag a week. Just keep in mind that the temperature in the evenings up there is around 90 degrees!
