If you like lists, here are a few things that are making November fly by for me:
- Family Room/Kitchen refresh/remodel (still not finished!).
- Secret Miniature Project With A Deadline That I'm Not Allowed To Share Just Yet.
- Football (watched more games than I can justify or want to admit).
- Normal work/life obligations.
And yet it feels as if I don't have a lot to show! Let's start with minis...
I can't reveal much about my secret mini project, but I can show a couple partially revealing photos. I promise, soon I can spill the beans!
Oh - And I made a little Snake Plant Tutorial as I made up these plants.
Family Room/Kitchen refresh/remodel (still not finished!). In spite of the kitchen painting being done, it's still chaos in there! You can see though that we did go with the sage paint and it looks nice. Thank You all so much for your help in deciding!
The family room is getting used regularly, even though it still isn't quite finished, either. I need to paint and recover that chair and it's twin. I bought them in an auction in 2004. They've seen three homes and a lot of butts!
Eating At the the counter while watching football has been great!
I started refinishing the hutch that my grandma left me when she passed. By refinishing I mean spraying with chalk paint. I have 1-1/2 cans left to go, then the aging and finish. I can't decide on decoupaging the sides or not, so I am allowing myself time to ponder while we work on higher priorities. It's hard to see the true color in our Northwest gloom, but it's Rustoleum Serenity Blue. Can photo below. I hope to eventually fill the upper glass portion with mini scenes or an apartment like layout inside.
Russ started on the wood floor installation over the weekend. Unfortunately, the air nailer freaked the dogs out so badly we had to stop. Georgia has a seizure disorder already and startling noises are a trigger. Woodson is a rescue from a pretty terrible puppy mill and still has PTSD. Rusty is just the sweetest and most timid soul on the planet. Ande, our grown up son (bless his heart), is going to come take them all to the dog park this weekend so we can finish without traumatizing them! But the good news is that the new super discounted floors are a pretty close match to the original floors!
My sweet little boy, Woodson. Petting him is like feeling crushed velvet! 💗
So, still lots to do as November ticks by! Luckily, my amazing daughter Natasha, who is a fantastic cook, is hosting Thanksgiving dinner at her place this year! There will be 16 of us, but she has that kind of excitement about hosting the holidays that we all did when we were young! Bless her heart, too!
Back soon,
xo xo,
Jodi
