Lucy and Ethel Paper Hangers

Saturday I went over to Hobby Lobby with the idea that I would look

for some additional fall decorations, but instead came home with this.

A framed Sweet Tea recipe, on sale, how could I resist?  It is hanging

in the breakfast room.  After all, I drink iced tea all day long so it
seems very appropriate!

I rearranged the breakfast room table centerpiece ever so slightly.

I love this room, but I want to paint the walls a creamy white and paint

the paneled wainscoting too.  While I am looking forward to it's completion,

I am not looking forward to the task itself.  There is a lot of 

painting I want done in the house.  Here is my ~

Big To Do List

The Breakfast Room

The Kitchen

The Hallway of One Wing of the House

My Studio

The Guest Bedroom

The Laundry Room

Yikes!  That's a lot of painting.  I want to repaint the living

room walls too but maybe I will get a professional painter to

do that since the ceiling is higher in that room and the room is

just plain big.  

I'm still trying to decide on a wallpaper for the guest bath.

I am going to have that done because I don't trust myself

to do it.  Especially after seeing this ...

I love to watch I Love Lucy on the Hallmark Channel.  Remember when Lucy and

Ethel tried to hang wallpaper themselves in Lucy's bedroom?

There is a good chance that with me hanging the paper, it may turn out

like this ;-)

Did I ever show you the gallery wall in my breakfast room?  It will be

so much better when I paint this wall a lighter color.  It is always so

dark in this room.  I think I should talk to my electrician about installing

recessed lighting too.  There is only a chandelier in here now and

it's attractive, but does not throw off that much light.  It's cloudy 

here today too and that doesn't help when trying to take pics.
It's been my experience that electricians hate to install recessed lighting
in an older home.  It means that one of them will have to crawl up into
attic.  Never one of their favorite things to do.  I'll have to bake
cookies to bribe them.

Well that's all for now.  David left me with a list of things
to do today and so far I have only completed one task.
Better hustle!


Tweak It Tuesday

I have to give Bentley a bath too.  That is one huge
task because he really hates baths and squirms all over
the tub.  I should be wearing a rain suit lol!

Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
