It’s been a while since I did a house update on the blog – mostly because it’s been a while since we’ve done anything of note besides both get the flu and colds. So we’ve been slowed down a bit with the house work and our closet did not get done! It’s a two person job, one for holding the pieces in place and one for securing them to the wall and since we started one of us has been in bed sick. At least we’ve been able to read our library books! I highly recommend Maisie Dobbs to all the mystery lovers or those that like historical fiction.
Anywho, we’re limping right along in house progress. More floor has been laid in my office, only hindered by the fact that I ran out before. I managed to clean the closet in our drawing room upstairs and that’s where some of the clothes from the master bedroom closet are hiding out until we get that squared away. We’ve got shelving and closet stuff galore just waiting to be installed. In the kitchen the slatted doors that hide our cleaning supplies were painted blue and they look great. Better than imagined even! I’m not finished painting, I didn’t take do the detail work around the hardware or the insides of all the doors, but the fronts painted blue make the room look completely different.
The weather here has been warmer for a while and the snow melted, revealing that we did nothing to the yard last fall. I hope that we can get it together and get out there in March but time is flying by – it’s the end of January already!
