My New Home

I was an apartment dweller for nearly 7 years. In October, I was able to purchase my first house! What a great feeling that was. I have worked hard to make it home, and as always there is more to be done. It was a rental before I bought it. The inside SCREAMED paint me, please! Moving from my apartment came during the loss of my wonderful, precious, 93 year old grandmother. I was in Kansas for the funeral, then had to fly back for moving the next day. I already had help lined up. I lived with my parents for three miserable...ummmm I mean three weeks. In the process, my cats got more acquainted with mom and dad. And while I had an empty house, it got painted! There is still much to be done, but it's home to me! Enjoy the pictures!

Re-covered

Hello blogging world! I realize it has been so long since I wrote. Much has happened in the last several months, but that shall be covered soon enough. Tonight, I took on a domestic project. I have this nice Lane Cedar chest I got for Christmas many years ago. This girl still likes blue, but as I've become a homeowner and started doing more decorating, I've started using more earth tones, so this lovely blue chest has to get recovered. This involved fabric and a stable gun, and of course my wonderful felines trying to help. Here's how it all went.
