Stop dreaming and get on with it!

I have to stop thinking about the new decorating project. Even stop looking around shops such as this one where I took these photographs last week, and just get on with the job at hand.

Time waits for no man.................or woman, and the minutes are ticking away.

Catnapping is a nice pastime on chilly Winter afternoons.............but only if you're a cat and don't have walls to prep and paint.
Sitting by the warm hearth staring into the dancing flames, dreaming of what a room could look like......if you just get out of the chair and climb the stairs, and get to work on it.
Day dreaming is even worse..................thinking of sparkling beaches, warm sand, cool drinks while watching mermaids sunning on the rocks.Can pigs fly?

Don't think so. But I can still spackle holes, brush trim with the best of 'em.................. and wield a paint roller. Better get moving and go pick a color...........you know how long that part takes!!!

Stayed tuned............I'll get there eventually.

Keeping Warm

Morning arrived with boning chilling cold ~ but no ice to engrave with figure 8's here ~ just sunshine, blue sky and very low temperatures. Not complaining ~ a great day to work on things around the house ~ perhaps bundle up in warm knits later for a brisk walk.

Darn ~ knew I should have persevered with that knitting ~ need something warm to wind around my neck today.

Once back in the warmth of home I will start planning the redecoration of the guest room. Paint chips at the ready (dh gets so nervous when he spies these!) ~ magazine pages strewn across the bed ~ books of inspiration with pages marked ~ fabric swatches stapled to the sample board. First to find a dry wall guy ~ ceiling needs a little work ~ then I'll be ready to paint the walls, the furniture, myself...................into a corner. Hope not!

Anyone else planning a room makeover soon? Let's get moving before Spring arrives and the garden calls.

Would love to hear about redecorating projects you may be be doing at your house.
