Long Time - No -Post!

So I have just started another online class called "Finding Holiday Joy", we are just into week one and I think I will enjoy it! Lots of photo prompts and a great online forum for every taking the class to ask questions and inspire each other. Here are some pics I took yesterday and today while decking the halls for you know what!



tree is up and lights are hung...worst part of the job




my Nova Scotia favourites




handmade ornaments, many from my friend Gail




another one of Gail's creations, they are standing the test of time




Christmas elf, one of four that guards our garland




just a little holiday cheer  :-)



....painting!

Well not a whole lot has gone on in the last little while other than painting every weekend for the past 5? weekends. If we are lucky tomorrow we will be done the main part of the house, and we can start thinking about hanging pictures, buying a mirror for the living room and changing out our kitchen hardware. There are still rooms to work on, but I want to focus on the main living area first. It is looking so much fresher after 10 years of the same colour! Was time for a change, and time to start transitioning some older items for new!

The main color through the house is now Benjamin Moore's "Stone House", the accent colour for three walls will be Benjamin Moore's "Nordic Gray"...we'll be working with that colour today & tomorrow, it will also eventually go into our small main floor bathroom! One step at a time!

We also  want to change out much (all!) of the lighting in the main area. It is all very ugly, dated and so not functional! This, I think, will make the biggest change of everything we plan to do!

No pictures to share today...got to get back to work!
