Newly Painted Red Dining Room

Remember when the dining room was painted a mustard color???

Well I said it was going away and now it has.  The new color is

Sherwin Williams "Stolen Kiss" and here it is ...

The color is a bit more cranberry than it appears in this pic.  Took me most

of the day to finish it.  Now the fun part begins.  I get to push the furniture

back in place and set up the new buffet lamps, hang the mirror and art work

and tweak up a storm.   

Of course at the same time all the tweaking in the dining room is taking

place, Four Seasons Nursery delivered our fresh Christmas tree and here 

it is ...

 at the end of the living room.  It's huge!  An eight foot tree.  Boy am I

glad the guys delivered it for me.  

This is the first live Christmas tree we have had for years.  Back in 

Idaho the climate was so dry that we stopped having real trees 

because they would get so brittle I was afraid to turn on the lights.

But here in our humid gulf coast climate it is easier the keep the

tree moist.  This tree is so big I will be out buying more lights

tonight.  I wonder who will get to string the lights all the way up

to the top ~ me or David???

Tweak It Tuesday

Bentley had lots of fun barking at the Dyson when I went to 

vacuum up the needles that fell off when the guys brought the tree

inside.  Do your dogs bark at the vacuum too?  Bentley thinks it is

one fun game.
