Great solution! I bet you have warmed up by now.

What a great idea and you have a wonderful neighbor. When you mentioned your thoughts on this recently, I took a long look at my island's lower shelf and realized what a useless bunch of stuff I have on it!! So I am in the process of organizing a large cabinet that is spilling over with you name it and hope to have an island redo soon.<br /><br />That is some cold weather you are having. We woke up to snow again...no surprise, Our weather people are saying that our frigid temps are going to last well into March. Brrrrr! <br /><br />Looking forward to seeing the "new" room!<br /><br />XO,<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-65531732183571887732014-03-05T08:16:40.251-05:002014-03-05T08:16:40.251-05:00That's a nice change and very helpful too!

My week started off great - I'm scanning photos for our SIL from an album dated 1905, photos taken by his great aunt and uncle during a west coast tour - which includes photos from Bellingha, where we live, and Sitka, Alaska, where I grew up - I'm having a fabulous time.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-8156947914065192532014-03-03T21:40:15.195-05:002014-03-03T21:40:15.195-05:00Hi dear, wow!

We are in the very deep cold freeze up here so the stormy weather is heading out to sea and not drifting north to visit us this time. Sorry for you but happy for us. The cold is bad enough.

Very cold here, combination of wind chill and temps. last night.....-33*C, Writing this at 2:40 p.m. and our temp is -12*C, we do have beautiful blue skies and sunshine, which has a lot of heat in it. We need more of that to melt all of the snow and ice currently on the ground. But.....cloudy skies will bring.....you guessed it more snow tomorrow. So tired of this Winter.<br />PatriciaPiece by Piecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947220369390395236noreply@blogger.com
