Curtains, Pillows, and Recovering Chairs

I have completed one chair cushion and both of the chair skirts.  Lots to do -- Joe says "I'm crazy"  or "Just Plain Gutsy"  -- he definitely leans to the crazy more often


The walls

The first pictures are of the "before".  The ivy is gone and the walls are an old worIld color now.  The pictures don't capture the color well.  I bought a "Woolie" 2 part roller.  It does 2 colors of paint at one time.  I love it.  I got the wallpaper border dumpster diving when I had the store.  One man's trash, was definitely my treasure.

The Stairway

Thanks to Michelle -- I have a new stairway that didn't cost an arm and a leg.  Well, it did bring the carpal tunnel back to my arm -- but that's another story.  Remi is always there to lend a hand "paw" and his opionion.  He's not thrilled with the home improvements so far.





The floor is almost done

Home improvements moving along.  Still lots to do -- it's never ending.  One thing leads to another.
