The Guest Room!

Painted, furnished, finished! For now, at least. There are still a few things I’d like to do, but they can definitely wait.

My poor friend Lili – she stayed in it back when it looked like this:

Lili, you must come again because now it looks like this:

I moved the brackets for the curtain rod out […]

All Day, Every Day

This is where we are.

We Might Paint the Kitchen Floor

And then I closed the middle up and inserted the collar.

Now it’s a collar cozy.
I figured it would be better than the plain black collar Murray’s been wearing, which […]
