Our Whirlwind

We are still plugging away at finishing the left side of the house.

It's easy to get discouraged because it isn't done

but then I have to remember that LIFE lives here and there

are kids and schedules and school starting on Monday

and other little things that need tending to.

When I take a step back, I do realize that with the hands that

are working, we have accomplished A LOT.

I am not going to continue the progress of the current 

project until we are done. It's pretty darn close

and I cannot wait to clear the dust, mop the floors 

and walk barefoot in our house!

Then (and only then) will the remainder of the boxes be opened

so I can begin filling the house with the lovely things

we have been collecting. 

Aside from the kitchen/dining/laundry rooms, 

I've been planning the attack 

on our bedroom.

It is on the East side of the house but with only two light 

sources (North and South facing), it is DARK.

Well, except for the lovely fluorescent lighting facing up on a dust

catching ledge.

It's all gonna be re-done. This ceiling is so uneven. We will keep

the vault but "add more screws" to make it actually snug up

to the framing. So nuts.

That little niche up there... BYE, BYE!

What I really want is windows! Mama wants windows!

Easy-Peasy, it's only 6 inch wood walls that we (husband) has

to cut through.

It's down the road so I have time to work on him.

Then I need to decide on whether to paint

 the whitewashed wood or keep as is.

 One bugging dilemma....

There's a few places where we have this issue.

Some places on the wall where something was

 mounted and painted around kinda makes me crazy.

What are your thoughts?

See ya soon!
