At one with nature..

After working a six day stretch I felt like getting outside.No painting today.At the very end of the property across the lake there was a clump of daffodils in the distance.

I tried feeding the geese some lunch but they protested.I did however manage to sink half a loaf of bread in the creek.

I stumbled across several clumps of iris.I used the useless bread bag to mark them for my return.

Many groundhog holes.How did the four Pevensie children ever fit into one?

They sure are diggers.It makes it EXTREMELY hard to coerce a small dog out of one backwards.Which is why I brave this walk alone.

This is one of many items I will have to pick up thought the summer from careless people.

Spring flowers.

Small arrangement of flowers.So sweet.

Decorating details.

My antique copper owl on top of a chalkware faux bois charger on top an old ceramic base looks great with the new color.

Windows done!!

Painting project.

My room is coming along.Some walls are pink some are gray.I love it!! I find I am not missing the pink at all.The other night I was looking at MSL May 2007.Martha's skyland pink cottage guest house is beautiful.But I need a change.

Living in a huge mess.Plus It smells like new paint.
I am also painting my bed frame a shade of gun metal gray.Gray is actually really soft.

Wall paint.

Midlands gray has more purple in it than I thought.I'm a little worried.I have moved on from trim for now.The book case is reinstalled with all the books.I forgot how many I have till I had to relocate all of them.Not to mention the whole back catalog of MSL magazines.Heavy lifting! Now the books are back and the 2nd coat of midlands gray is up.

More Painting.

Painting ensues.Book case started french doors almost finished.

It looks rough but It will be brilliant!!I tried taping all the windows off before and the tape is a mess.I use a knife to remove the paint and 000 steel wool to clean the brass.I do tape off the hinges.

Painting...

My bedroom door.
The brass hardware removed and being painted.Its a lot of work.With my bedroom over 600 square feet I will be busy for some time.Its hard to really see the color but if you look where the door knob goes you can see the difference compared to the previous white.Three more doors what seems like miles of trim and of course all the walls.
