Hope you all had a very relaxing and fun holiday. Mine was great with a big surprise. I will get to that in another blog post. Right now I want to tell you about my house and what I was able to finish this past month. Well, almost finish. As you know I bought my parent's house a year ago. I have been busy painting and cleaning out the 46 years worth of stuff they had. I have painted the living room, dining room, downstairs bathroom and now the master bedroom.
During fall clean up days in our town, I decided to remove the carpet in the master bedroom. A coworker had asked me to make a quilt for his wife out of his son's baby clothes. I usually say no to that, as I don't care to do commission work. But he also does construction and I asked if he could lay some wood laminate flooring in my master bedroom. He said he would so I picked out the color and ordered the flooring. While also working on the quilt. I will show you a picture of the quilt in my next post. We had to keep it a secret until she opened it. But here is my new flooring:
It's called Mocha Fusion and I bought it from Home Depot. It's a darker color with hints of gray and cream. I painted the walls a light gray and I think the white trim makes it pop! I love my new room. Now I just need bedroom furniture and I can move in. I am going to try to hit Ikea next week and see what I can find. I am so excited to have my own space just to relax.
I also decided the week of Thanksgiving to paint a dresser. I have been looking for a buffet for my dining room. I will be painted the table and chairs in that room and recovering the chairs. I found this dresser in the garage. I believe it was my childhood dresser. I worked every night after work and was able to finish this the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. My son was home and able to help me move it into the dining room. I quickly filled it with my Fiesta dishes.
Spoiler Alert: I finished my 12th quilt!!! More on that before the end of the year!
Blessings
Amy
