Not done, not even really close to done, but there is a tiny light visible. This morning, I sprayed a couple of topcoats on the hardware I painted last night. Looks the same, so I didn’t bother with a photo. Then, I taped off and overspray covered the bathroom light fixture and the mirror cabinet. […]

Well, the beadboard is almost finished. I didn’t clean up the bottom because it’s hard to see back there, and I was out of daylight, but I did get the seam, the top, and the sides trimed/tidied up, and sealed with paintable caulking. The seam actually came out better than I’d expected, especially considering that […]

Well, I’m going to have to put quarter round up by the ceiling because the edge is so rough that even good painter’s tape didn’t keep the paint colours from bleeding, but I’m okay with that. The ceiling is white, the area around the shower is cream, and the area behind the toilet has beadboard […]

I’d decided to do the walls around the shower with the same creamy white I used for the table and chairs. Then, I thought, “Why not?” and tried it on the ceiling, too. Walls, yes. Ceiling, nope. It’s got two coats of Killz on it, and now a coat of latex semi-gloss paint. I’m not […]

Well, on the window, at least. I bought new privacy film for my bathroom windows; the old stuff was dusty and peeling at the edges, and had been sloppily installed in the first place, and my pink bathroom wants pretty windows. The old stuff did not come off easily. Some of it was brittle and […]

I actually made the bracket yesterday, but had to allow the JB Weld to cure, then I was lazy today and just got it put up now. I will never give up my lighted 5x makeup mirror, but neither will I give up the little vanity I’ve had for 14 years, but never could use […]

Let’s hope it’s hard to stop a Trane, at least. It rained today, and Furnace Dude had an outdoor job planned that they couldn’t do because of the weather, so he installed ours today. I guess they’re done; I came home at lunch to check on Miffy, and he (Furnace Dude, not Miff) said he […]

Well, I’m broke, but the brand new 80,000 BTU, 92% efficiency, easy and inexpensive to get parts for Trane furnace is paid in full, and will be installed next week. I told Furnace Dude that I wasn’t in any great rush, but he said of the sales calls he’s done lately, I’m the first to […]

I started them last January (I think), but ran out of “fit to spray paint” days before it was time to go balls to the wall on the Bistro, so they were only done on the brick side of the room. I decided yesterday (Saturday) that because it was going to be warm on the […]

First, a little ‘Bright Lights’ cosmos bloom from my Haworthia (sp?) pot. These are the ones that planted themselves in the fall of 2013. Still growing in there! I got the light fixture earlier this week, but didn’t want to deal with it until the weekend. I like this much better than the huge old […]
