THE BLUE ROOM

 

Husband asked how long painters have been in the house. Seems like forever!  Well, I counted the weeks and it has been THIRTEEN.  They will finish this Friday and we are looking forward to that day.  Living with three painters in every day at 8:00 in the morning is getting old.  They are finally finishing the last bath and closet.  I really believe it has been worse than completely moving because you have to live in the mess with stacks of boxes every day and night.  Everything had to be emptied from all cabinets and walls. Curtains had to come down and washed and window cleaning was not an easy task. Then there were all the dirty light fixtures and chandeliers that had to be cleaned. Trying to decide what to keep and what to get rid of is not easy.  If you know me very well you know that I don't get rid of stuff too rapidly.  But I did part with a few things.

The good side is that we feel like we have a brand new house again.  To make things simple I used one color for the entire house and went with white woodwork and cabinets.  I have enough colorful "stuff'" so felt like a soft white would do the trick and then I can change out accessories whenever I want.  But, I think I have had enough changing to last me awhile and time to move on to other things.

This bedroom is one in the basement and is the only room without a window but it does have French doors so that helps. 

It has a really clean look with the blue bedding and rug.  It has been so much fun finding forgotten things in the attic like my blue hobnail Fenton glass.  No telling what else I might find as there are still boxes and boxes of stuff unpacked that have been in the attic for years.  It's like having Christmas every time I unload another box. 

As I finish doing each room I will take pictures to put on my blog.

 

Painters will be back in the Spring to do some outside work but for now we will take a much needed break!
