A Clean Slate..................


..........or I guess you could call it a very white room!


Our home office/sewing/crafting/everything room upstairs is now fresh and clean, texture removed and smooth ceiling makes room appear larger, and it awaits new carpet. Then, following a good clean, my favorite time arrives, replacing old pieces of furniture (that's my sewing machine already there), buying a few new pieces such as a desk for me, messing up with holes hanging art on the pristine walls, organizing bookshelves, putting out-of-season clothes back in the closet, and plugging in the extra 'frig to chill white wine, along with all those jars of fig jam I made and have no room for in the kitchen 'frig! This year I think my garden birds will enjoy our fig harvest with no shooing them away. I just can't see making more jam for awhile!

The pic below is from PB's catalog and it's how I'd like the office to be, but of course it won't! It's my inspiration pic because it will definitely spur me on to framing more of my beautiful Africa (and other places) photos, and I want a desk lamp such as the one on this desk. I love the smaller desk and would like something similar - I will use my laptop there. Bob will have the iMac on his large desk.........and this I'm thrilled to share with you, the old desktop PC's and their miles of wires, cables, woofers and tweeters etc. are gone FOREVER! I feel I can breathe again already, and it gets even better......once the carpet is down we'll have the Apple techie specialist here to set up a better wireless and security system.........with hopefully very few actual wires!



We changed the carpet installation date to Monday rather than tomorrow when it will be raining. Also, as the painting job ran over until today, I need more time to pack up stuff to make it easier for the carpet guys! Next Monday will be the promised start of a run of fine sunny days with temperatures in the 60's - perfect for cutting carpet on the driveway and doing lots of outdoor things, such as walking which is much needed after sitting around for the past week complaining about the chill, the dust, and the messy house.

How are your Spring projects going? Still in the dreaming and planning stage, or moving along nicely?
