Hey Hey,
I know. It has been way too long since my last post and I’m not happy about it. But…I’m still here and if I have any readers left after my long absence, thank you! Sometimes, life on life’s terms means being pulled in different directions and that has certainly been the case for me these past few months. OK, enough about that. I have news!
My son, D, is moving out in about 5 weeks. He and his girlfriend, D, are working on an apartment renovation in the two family home where my mom lives. The upstairs apartment is quite large and there are lots of renovations happening. I will have all the details for you here on the blog.
They have quite an extensive list of projects to get through, but being new to the world of DIY, they are learning…slowly but surely. On their list…

Yesterday, while SuperHouls was working on the sheet rock in the kitchen, D & D were busy sanding the kitchen cabinet doors in preparation for painting. I really want them to do this on their own but sometimes it is hard not to jump in there to move the project along.
Getting dust on my diamonds.
Yup…jumped right in there – jewelry and all – just couldn’t help myself. Oh, and D & D were fine with it because they have all this left on their list:
- Paint cabinet doors and cabinet facing
- Sand and poly wood floors
- Regrout bathroom tile
- Paint entire apartment
I have lots of demo and before pictures to share. They have a beautiful vision for the apartment that includes warm shades of gray (maybe as many as 50).
Oh, and hey, if you enjoyed reading this, why not share it or follow me, or both!
Be well,
Eileen
The humans exhaust me. I need a nap.
