Things here have been slowly moving along.
I’ve got my indoor projects and Brian is still working on his outdoor projects.
The pergola is still a work in progress. I thought I had taken updated pictures but I can’t find them right now.. so I’ll post about that later.
Today though, he totally impressed me again..
The gas furnace is under the house and in the past it was flooded because water pours down into the opening.
But now, thanks to my VERY cool hubby.. no more flooded furnace..
He built a new concrete wall to block the water.
I’m putting together a family wall of photo’s for our main hallway and I’m trying to venture out of my regular ‘neutral’ color pallet.
I pulled a gray/blue color out of one of the mats in the collage frame I brought and headed over to Lowes.
I bought two colors I thought I would try out and I’m thinking that they are little too blue for my taste.
Actually.. you know what.. You can’t really tell from this pic.. Sorry..
But trust me.. the one on the left is a light baby blue look and the other darker blue..
I guess I need to try again and lean more towards the gray.
But before I go, I’ll share this neat new trick I learned..
It’s one of those ideas where you think.. Why did I NEVER think of that?
A rubber band.. just a little ole rubber band helps you scrape the paint off and keep the paint container clean.. very cool..
I’ll try not to be so long in between posts next time.
I do have some lamp redo’s and living room furniture updates to share..
What would we do without our handy men? Glad to hear progress is happening! Paint can be so tricky. I know so many times I have picked a color I thought I would love, painted a room and hated it. Of course, once in a while you are pleasantly surprised, too.
