The white makes it look fresh. Half the walls are painted. The ceiling is done. The oak flooring (sitting […]

We’re remodeling the addition, which houses a hall with closets and built-in drawers, a laundry room, a full bath, and the guest room. We’re going for a cottage style which is a departure from the rest of the house, but since the addition is a 1960 build-on and is separate from the rest of the […]

What?? I can hear it now…. 🙂 Yes, our first Christmas tree is up. Buttercup watched while Brooke decorated the tree in DD#2’s room this AM. We brought DD#1’s tree down, fluffed it and were ready to decorate, but one string of lights is not working properly. I’ll have to fix that before we can […]

A young lady from church is helping me this fall with cleaning out all the drawers, cupboards, and cabinets (maybe even the attic) and, after we cleaned out the coat closet yesterday, I realized the interior had not been painted with the help of painting contractors in Tacoma, we redid the hall a few years ago.

Sean Cairns, an art major, had done a sketch of a friend’s house and we asked him to do one of ours. He came by this afternoon and produced this lovely drawing. I asked him to come back when he has time and do a detailed drawing of the front door. ~~Rhonda
