My living room is beginning to look like a living room, but now, I have this idea that I want to make the facing wall darker than the other three, so that when you come in the door, you are met with the illusion of a room that is longer/larger. I’m thinking of a pale dusty rose or something in a pastel federal blue, to pick up the shades in the rug.
When I go in on Monday, for my recertification, I will check to see if this can be done. I think it can, but the stipulation is nebulous...it has to be painted over when you move out, but if you die, then what?...
Maybe this coming week, I can get the bookcase anchored and begin to fill it so the stack of crates on the patio dwindles by Christmas.
And come what may, the table will be clean and waiting for the Nativities that I’m so anxious to display. I try to buy one a year, and look for those that are different, either from different artists, or different cultures.
I’m excited!
You’ll have to remind me next month that I want to put the Nativities up, because last year I was glad I did.
Speaking of previous year, today is the second anniversary of Ash’s death. Did I mention she was the best dog on earth?
