Weekend of Fun!

We got some stuff done over there this weekend.  I am sitting here now all worn out from the experience while Terry washes dishes.  I expect he is all worn out too. Mostly we're waiting for Downton Abbey to come on.  The other day I was planning to go over and do some work but it was mighty cold and I decided instead to enjoy this cup of hot chocolate:

And while I did that I looked at the internet - mostly Pinterest -  and got more good ideas for the house! Multitasking all over the place. 

Yesterday, Janice and I went over there to get some more painting done.  While I worked on the vanity cabinet in the bathroom, Princie worked her way down the river.  Or painted the hallway. Yes that was it.  We both were painting white.  But before we got started, we decided to assemble the bed so we could make sure  of the size before we get a mattress:  Here it is!

Isn't it swell?!   And yep, it's full size. A little smaller than queen size.  Could it be called princess sized?  If so, should be put it in Princie's room?   And speaking of Princie, here she is working away on the hallway:

I still say she ought to put that t-shirt on a canvas stretcher and call it art.  It does remind me a lot of Jackson Pollock.  And now it is the brightest hallway I've ever seen.  It looks great! And so does Princie!  What about that hat?  Millinery at its finest.

Meanwhile, I was painting the cabinet.  It took much more time to get ready to paint the cabinet than it did to actually paint it.  And then it needs several coats of paint.  Here's an action shot:

I was just starting then, so I still had a smile on my face and a song in my heart. I stopped after my second coat and wouldn't be able to get back to it until it dried all the way.  So I took one of the new crystal knobs for the cabinet and played with it in the sun.  They're very sparkly and they do this:

The hallway took longer than my cabinet painting operation, but when Princie finished it was just this bright!

And even out in the kitchen where nothing has been done yet, all was sparkly!

We might have had too much fun with cabinet knobs.

Moving on, today Janice and Terry and I were back over there. Janice finished up her hallway, painting the trim, and then she cleaned some stuff and What Not!  While she engaged in all that fun and frolic, Terry installed the two bathroom vanity lights.  The old lights had been there since 1993 and were very rusted and very ugly. In spite of running into a few problems, Terry did get R done! Here he is with a smile on his face and a song in his heart because he was nearly finished. 

After we were done for the day, we had to go back to our house for apple pie and coffee, and rest up from the experience.

And we all lived happily ever after!

Love, Vicki
