It's a rainy day here in the land of Pears. My plans for today, my one day off this week, were to mow or paint (after getting a little work done). So, instead of mowing I decided to update the long-neglected blog. Thanks, rain. I guess now that the blog has a new look, I should start taping so I can paint. I have a lot of projects started that really need to be finished. Our house is in total chaos. It seems like starting/finishing one room is contingent on another room. The music room is becoming the music room/library (new paint and all). The office is becoming my craft room (new paint color undecided) and the guest room is getting a long overdue cosmetic makeover. I'm still waiting to redo the kitchen...I did install cabinet door knobs and drawer pulls but the goal is to install new countertops (silestone) and backsplash (glass tile). Then, the carpet downstairs is going. Ahhh, wood floors. A girl can dream...
