Busy, Busy Week!

Hi, all!

I hope you're all doing well. It's been a busy week here. Work on installing our new front door and storm door started on Monday. It went well, but isn't a quick job.

On Tuesday, Golfer and I went and ordered new bedroom furniture, lamps, mattress and box springs. The mattress and box springs will be ready in a week or so. The lamps will be in in a couple weeks and the furniture in six to eight weeks. Anyone know someone in the market for buying some good sturdy used furniture?

Then on Wednesday the guys returned to finish up the doors. They do look lovely!

Thursday we met with a decorator for a consultation. We've been trying to pick out a paint color for the kitchen and we've been getting nowhere with that decision, so that was one of the first things discussed. Golfer and I have come to realize that we have not always made great choices when decorating or getting things for the house. We figured it wouldn't hurt to ask for advice. Lynn was very nice and I was quite comfortable with her. I knew from the start if someone came in and told us all of our stuff was awful and to get rid of it we were going to have "issues", but Lynn was great. She works with what clients already have and what they like and goes from there. She helped us pick the kitchen color and then the living room color. And then we decided that if we were having a painter come in and do all that, he might as well do the hallways and get that over with. We've thought several times about painting the hallways in the last few years but never got to it. So the work progresses. We'll be meeting with her again in a week or so. And then we discuss window treatments and furniture!

Along with all this, I have made it to work every day, and we've gone to the "Y' multiple times and Golfer has played golf!

And now this weekend I have spent a lot of time taking down curtains and drapes. The installation of the new windows starts tomorrow. So the household has been a bit disrupted and the furry kids are confused. They don't know what to make of the uncovered windows!

We did have a couple really warm days - in the high 70's and low 80's. That was wonderful! but it is now cold again and not getting out of the 40's today. But at least the sun is shining brightly!

That is all the news from here. Take care and stay safe!
