working for the weekend

I know I've said this before, but we're really closing in on moving into my bedroom. Walls and ceiling are painting, now need to put up the crown moulding and base boards, put the closet doors back in and we'll be ready for a move! Curtains and cushion for the bay window will come.


Mom and Dad found a nice little surprise under the bay window the other day. POSS has a panel of styrofoam stuck into the wall and we had no idea why or what was behind it. I was thinking this could be where the $20,000 is hidden (c'mon, he's proven himself to be a freak, would it be so weird to hope he'd hide money in the walls and forget!?) but it's not. However, it is a neat little nook with sliding doors. We'll fix this up a little, give it a new coat of paint and it'll be better than new.


I have a nice little sunburn tonight from being outside for two days painting moulding. That's not to say we have so much that I was out there for two whole days, I just burn at the thought of the sun. So, now I look like a crawfish. No photos of that, thank you very much. But, here's the moulding...


This is where we rest in the backyard, watch the trains pass, the birds play in the bird bath and the hummingbirds fight over the feeder.


Next up, bedroom #2. I have no idea what color to paint this room. Keeping in mind the hallway is the golden "Acorn" color and the other bedroom downstairs is the dark brown "Warm Brownie," please submit suggestions. Keep in mind, this photo shows where the bed will go, but there will be a treadmill and bike on the other side of the room (sorry visitors, it's gotta go somewhere!).
