Where to start?

Pink is NOT hot!

There are things/colors worse than brown paneling.  WOW.  Now that is pink.

And not a good pink. This is the primer for the red.  The red is lovely.  Very warm and cozy. I will post a picture of it when the last coat is on.  Soon that equally offensive carpeting will be history as well.
Here is [...]

Let the game begin!

The remodeling game that is. While I am up and down the road visiting my mom and seeing to her hospital transfer, Husband has been hard at work. VERY hard at work. Our house is FULL of gawdawful paneling. I abhor paneling. I kid you not. Hate is not a [...]

Picture of the Day:

Taken by Rachel night before last.
And a quick report.  I think we will be moving my mom to another hospital the first of next week.  Hopefully.  She needs more/different treatment than they are able to give her at this smaller hospital.  Not that they havent been wonderful.  They have.  But her condition worsens and she [...]
