This is a Seinfield post.   It’s all over the place.   First, let’s start with the home office reorganization/redo.   Do you like that red pillow with the black chair?   

I like it.  

I got that pillow from Target this morning.  By 11:40 am, I had  made two trips to Bristol from Mendota!     Mike and I went to town in the truck early to avoid the crowds since it was predicted to snow.  He dropped me off at Walmart at 7:15 am  while he went to Lowe’s.   We were home by 9 am.   However, as we were returning home, headed down Nordyke Road into the valley, I knew I was going in the wrong direction.  I should have went to town alone as I wanted to go to TJ Maxx and Target to look for a few things for our home office reorganization/redo.  

So…I got home, unloaded the groceries, tidied up the house, saw Patsy at the Mendota Post Office and headed back to town.  I wanted to get there before the snow started.    

Can you see where I’m headed with this room.  It’s a working space, and it’s primarily khaki, white, red and black.  However, since it is a working space, I’ve changed the couch slipcover to be denim. Danette, who will be doing the slipcovering, will be coming over this week provided (1) the creeks are not out; (2) the river is not in the road; and (3) it is not snowing.    All three of those conditions have to be met in North Carolina where she lives and in Mendota where I live.

Introducing the denim which will be on the couch….

Add the burlap pillow I’ve had for years.  I’ll probably use this on the couch and I may stencil a “B” on it.    The lanpshade on the floor is also going to be used, and this picture does not do it justice. I love it. Whimsical.

 

So…that is where the room is headed.   There will be some red and black checks here and there, too.   The lampshade is a bit feminine,so you may be wondering how my husband feels about that.  The answer is that he probably will not notice it! So long as I’m happy with the room, he doesn’t care. He’s got his shop and he likes that more than anything.

Speaking of the shop, Jenna, Ashley and Mike are all down there today.   They’ve been working on a few projects such as…

My entertainment center.  Here’s the wormy chestnut top to the entertainment center. 

 

After working on this, it’s important to have a major hit of sugar and peach tea.  Check out Ashley after her first drink…I pride myself on introducing them to Pal’s peachy tea.  They’re liking it more and more. Soon, no trip to Bristol will be complete without a swing through Pal’s!!

They are also working on some shelves for Helene…here’s what this looks like thus far…I love these young women! They are going to help me when Mike has his knee replacement surgery.

More later. Time for a nap with Gracie.
