Molly for the day!!



Dining are taped off

We used left over Toasted Cashew from my sewing room up north for the sliding glass door wall.  Wanted it on the wall leading into the dining area, but didn't have enough.  Used the rest of the Antique White on the other 3 walls.  Even managed to paint the small area between the fireplace and book case.  Decided for the time being to put the light back up in the ceiling.  I know where I want the recessed lighting, but Bruce isn't sure.  Until the inspector comes for the windows, we'll leave everything as is.

Room back together

Still have to put back the molding around the book case.  And we won't put up the cove molding around the room until after we are ready to take down the book case and the fire place.  No sense re-cutting it.  Now the only popcorn ceiling left is over the book case.  Yea!

Got the room put back together last night and things all cleaned up so that we could have Molly with us today.  She's napping right now.   Those boxes under the table are "Molly proofing" until we can figure out the wiring situation.

 

Bruce got out our low game table.  He had made that when Alissa was young so we could sit on the floor in front of the fire and play games.  It's just the right height for Molly.  When Bruce went back to Alissa's to get Molly's chair for breakfast and lunch, I improvised with her great-grandma's stool.  We had yogurt and cheerios.

 

I'll say it again, she makes everything worthwhile!  It makes me so happy to be able to help Alissa out when Nick is at work.  She's spending the day painting her own base boards.  Gathering stuff for a garage sale we're having together.  Yes, we have MORE stuff to get rid of.

 

This is my little blue "froggy" friend.  not sure why we taped over them all.  Had to replace them all.  Not only didn't plugs stay in them, "they" had sprayed them with the wall texture.  And the ones that didn't get covered were sprayed with the brown wall paint, and then were painted white.  Just ridiculous!
