RIGHT HERE AT HOME!!!
We have remodeled Jim's office (used to be our youngest daughter's room - she can't move back now!).  It started as a Father's Day gift from me to him....and it took a little longer than expected, because HE wanted an art piece done on his desk!!!  I don't know where the photos are....but, I think with the fan up, his room is done.

So - next is my art room/sewing room/photo room/study room/office/guest room, AND grandbaby's visiting room.  At least I get to pick the colors!!!  AND - Jim's building me my ultimate art/study/office desk.  He built a bookshelf for me last night, the other day, he repaired one of my art cabinets...we've cannibalized a  pedestal desk, an art desk, a dresser, and a corner cupboard from a kitchen.  We've traded a love seat for a cool futon(for the guests and baby when he's bigger).   It's been a long time since I've had a place to store all this stuff where I can use it!  Some boxes I'm going through are still packed from a 2000 move.  In one of those boxes I found fabric that I had purchased because I loved it.  WELL - it's going into this room!!!  It is the color inspiration!! I'm going to do a funky wall treatment on a 'focus' wall....just because I can, and I'll be painting all the mismatched furniture as well as my desk top! 

We've been having so much fun....we really enjoy doing this kind of stuff together.  We have the master suite to redo....but there is some remodeling to do that we don't want to get into and get stuck before winter, so that will probably be next spring's big project.  We have more painting to finish....and at some point, I'm going to do a mural, and some other painting touches around the house (no stenciling....). 

And yesterday, we went canoing....and we are going to go again...and again, and again! I miss our kayak, but we'll do with what we can get at this point. 

I hope everyone had a great holiday - is enjoying the summer - and we're still here, just a bit busier than usual.
hugs,
