Merry Christmas!
Here’s a bit of Christmas nostalgia for you. When Grandma heard about our aluminum Christmas tree, she found this picture of my mom with their aluminum tree from 1965. I found a nice little frame for it and put a couple of silver ornament balls around it as an accent.

Granted, it did take a bit more time than we anticipated to get the paneling up (but, hey, December is a busy month after all, and we were out of town for two of those weekends). However, Daniel did get the paneling up with one coat of varnish today. While the color doesn’t match exactly […]

Good news! The paneling Daniel and I ordered to fix the gaping hole in the listening room has arrived. I just picked it up over my lunch break from Southern Lumber and Millwork. We had to special order it, and, of course, we could only order in packs of four (and we need five […]

We found more hardwood floors!
As we were giving Mom and Dad a tour of the house, we were hyphothesizing what the room directly off to the kitchen might have been (a bedroom at one time since it had a closet, a dining area since it had linoleum flooring, and so on). (We’re currently using it […]

Okay… I’m finally getting around to the finale to my Thanksgiving posts (sorry it’s taken so long). Mom had promised to help paint while she and Dad were in town, so we definitely held her to her word and picked up four gallons of paint. Rooms to paint: main living room on into hallway, accent […]
