We have been very busy around here. A wall was taken down in the basement in preparation for installing a brick hearth and wood stove. The ceiling also was taken down. It was finished with ugly ceiling tiles so we will replace them with dry wall. There were a lot of tiles and accompanying metal track which we didn't really want to haul off to the landfill. So I posted to the local facebook yard sales as free. They were taken within 5 minutes of being posted. Free is remarkably effective.
We bought a wood chair unit to put down by the water but first I stained it turquoise. It really stands out; we can see the chairs from across the bay when we are driving home.
I made a new padded headboard for our bedroom. This, with Pearl's help of course, turned into this. I'm really happy with the result. The fabric has a wonderful texture. Sorry for the poor picture. It doesn't show up very well against the white wall. Now I need to paint the bedroom or at the very least, that wall. I'm thinking a light mauve as the quilt I'm working on has mauve/purple fabrics in it. Will have to get some paint chips and see what will be the best color.
