SPRING....
You cannot get here FAST enough.
Your presence is requested NOW.
With the ice cold weather I have been staying inside as best I can. Hibernation.
On her way. Thankful.

This week-end we'll be making preparations for the workers to return to do repairs on the new ceiling as we have put off their return due to the HOLIDAYS and Birthdays. They will return to repair some hairline cracks, patch, sand and paint the ceiling. EVERYTHING in the Living room will have to be covered. After this go round....we'll finish painting the stairwell area and onto the Dining room.

Have debated on the Dining room colour and think we'll stay in the same family of color for the walls in there as we used for Living room Mocha Cream. Benjamin Moore Baja Dunes for Dining.
Was thinking about grey, but think this has morphed into a taupe instead. Figure by SPRING/SUMMER the Dining room will be treated to a fresh coat of paint, wood work and all. Ceiling as well. All Benjamin Moore PAINT this time.
I used a cheaper paint in Texas and swore I would never use MARTHA STEWART PAINT AGAIN. After it dried on the trim it turned rubbery. Too much latex in it. Of course this was nearly 30 years ago. I never want to use her "IT's A Good THING" Paint again.
Before we cover the Living room blinds/shutters...I will dust them. They haven't been dusted since they were installed last November. I figure if I dust them seasonally that this will be what I should aim for. This way I will have a fresh Living room and Dining room by the end of SPRING and my SPRING CLEANING will be started.
The colours we have selected are very peaceful and I like this. Keeping it light and airy.
For now, I will keep my upstairs office the darker blue that it is. The other rooms will stay the colours they are. The Entry way and the breeze way between Living room and Dining will be painted later. Not sure when. I think I may wallpaper the Entryway with
wallpaper for texture and beauty. Shall see.
Truly, I have more deep cleaning throughout the house to do. Winter weather is ideal for this as I stay inside staying out of the cold.
Preparing for a COFFEE DATE late this afternoon. Then onto good 'ole laundry. drat. When it's finished I'll like having the linen closet full of clean towels so it's not so bad after all. Can you imagine washing clothing outside in this chill? Not what I want to do.
Please don't pay attention to the statement that says Hit Share To Save on the recipe......this was a error.
Salad still delicious.
Blessings to you as you fill your day with LIFE, LIBERTY and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS.
Turning back the clocks this week-end and we will be one day closer to SPRING!
