Not a major update this past week as the calendar was quite full with social activities.
There seems to be a scent of spring in the air these last couple
weeks. Oh, it gets the gardener within so full of anticipation.
And the basement project continues with the prepping and sanding
of the floors. Here are a few shots of the fun. I may still get around
to vacuuming and cleaning it before the weekend...but we will see how
the day goes. I will be priming this weekend if all goes as planned.

| The empty room...waiting to be prepped |
 |
| Can you see all the nails still in the floor from where they nailed down the lino? |
 |
| Wood putty over a big hole in the boards |
 |
| The tools for prepping (minus the sandpaper and the spreader...is that the right word? I don't think so!) |
 |
| Filling the gaps between the old and new boards. |
And to make the weekend even more exciting, more linoleum was removed from the laundry room area too. Wasn't it pretty
On a completely unrelated topic, I am totally coveting these
items from Restoration Hardware. I don't think I can go into that store
anytime soon. It is ridiculous how amazing so much of their product
aligns with my style sensibilities (or insensibilities).
And drum roll please, my new baby. As
you may be able to tell from my blog, photography is not my strong suit.
My little point & shoot finally died a couple of weeks ago and I
have been getting by with my iphone (see above for proof). I did take
the tulip picture with the new camera but am still playing with it and
it is fun.

And finally, please meet my new living room carpet. The search
for the right carpet has been taking some time but I finally found one I
liked at Pier One...and it was on sale - BONUS!
bravo on the new camera. as for the rug...this is why we need to live closer...i just gave one away that looks a lot like that. is there a restoration hardware there? there is an outlet near me!!!
