Happy Holiday

O Canada!  


July 1st came with great summer weather.  There were lots of events downtown but I decided to stick to my plan.  I woke up early and decided to get busy before it got too hot.  I know, just a few days ago I was complaining I was cold.  Welcome to Nova Scotia where you can experience all 4 seasons in a few days.  Lol 

I admit for a few minutes this morning I waffled a bit on whether or not I would work in the house or go out and play. But common sense prevailed and I quickly started painting before I changed my mind.  

In progress -  goodbye blue


And here's the new warmer color. Much better I think 


It's not a very sexy color but I like it. I still need to paint the ceiling because now it looks bad compared to the new walls.  I think I have enough white paint left over from the kitchen project a while back. Now I need to work on some pillow shams and a few pieces for the walls. And then this room will be done.  

And to treat myself for the holiday I bought a a couple of small filet mignon steaks, fried mushrooms and made a twice baked potato casserole.  Mmmmmmm


All in all it was a great day.

  4. Very nice color. Please be sure to post pictures when you get finished. I love to see other's decorating ideas.

    That dinner looks great!! I'm not really fond of mushrooms, but you saute them with butter and garlic, add a steak, and yum yum!
