It's All Before

still feeling awful

going to try going to work today...

I visited Mom once in the past five days

that alone should tell you how I feel

I've spent a lot of time looking at Pinterest

gathering photos to inspire my After

at this point it's all decluttering what I have

 

paint alone will make a large change here

walls, ceilings, cupboards and furniture

I have plenty of "stuff"

that has been collected over the years

some stitching will be in order too

drapes, slipcovers

dreaming of dreamy rooms

is a good way to forget about feeling crappy

until the coughing starts, then it's all over

I figure at work if I can avoid talking

(laryngitis)

and

moving fast

(brings on coughing fits)

Wish me luck!

 

Dining Room Wall Before

Okay, this picture is very before because I sold the Crow Sampler about a year ago...and have had an empty spot on the wall since...have been planning to paint and finally getting around to it this week...it is a very gorgeous rug if I do say so myself and has gone to a wonderful home...

The picture is really here for the before wall color, just an ordinary off white...am currently painting it a light gray, Revere Pewter from Benjamin Moore...hoping it will be just the right background for all my prim pieces...

The dining room is really Chester's room right now as I have no dining room table or chairs...just my exercise bike and a few cat trees, a bench and a painted cupboard...looks out over the deck...

he's going to be put out when he sees what happens in the next few days...
