You might think that since I suddenly started posting again I am now living in a lovely finished home. You would be wrong. But at least the winter snows aren’t blowing across my keyboard. We are 80% done. The house is cozy and warm, the walls are papered, painted, the floors are polished. The kitchen looks great and functions so well I could cry. The dining room sees regular use and most of the built in hutch is done. We put the good china and crystal in this past weekend. There are only 2 things still in progress – the mirror for the back of the hutch and the wood work. And now that we are 3 snow storms into winter (what is going on with the Pacific Northwest this year?) dear husband is pecking away at the woodwork. It is slow going. He is doing beautiful work but there is a ton of woodwork in a bungalow style home. The mirror will be installed in a couple of weeks. The wood work will occupy the rest of my life – I swear. But the house is lovely. See
