Kitchen porn...a laundry room update and ...a nice library desk..

Wouldnt I know that title would catch you..
Yep, I'm no longer living in the land of the powdered sugar donut that is my house..

For those of you that have been following this sorry blog for a while, the dust is near completely vanished from said property. Please note..near completely.



I am dust free..free as the wind blows..

FOR THE MOMENT

Anyway, I thought, since things were sparkly and shiny bright, now would be a nice time to take a few "skin shots"

really let it all hang out and let you see the natural me.








Hot, eh??




maybe you better look away... Oh, forget it..Its not that hot. Its just totally..normal and everyday.
ZZZzzzzz..
Alright..its too boring to look at..shall we move on?

one more..






Oh, and then theres this..

my $30estate sale find. Cute little library table. Even in pale yellow! I had to peel the top piece of veneer off, it was wrecked with water damage. What was underneath is ten times better than that stupid veneer. Ill run the sander across her a couple of times and...voila!!
perfection.--near it..my perfection anyway.


Here is the sorry state of the laundry room. Well, its actually getting better, no?
Kind of a robins egg blue..mom thinks its ..Frenchbleu..These long strips of wood are going to go on the ceiling, they have had their edges routered and have been "ripped" down. This kind of installation was cheaper than wainscoting..just a little more time consuming.--and it was very wet wood-Thanks Home Depot! So, we must let it dry out before going ahead and applying it (you know, shrinkage..it'll get ya every time.)
Anyway, between

breakfast

breakfast dishes

lunches packed

a little blogging

dusting

a little facebooking

and snapping a few shots

....This is my life....

I was going to tell you how much I like the second picture (which I do), but the table... OMG - I LOVE it!!!!!! I am green with envy!!!

Lots of lovely things here Lise. Firstly thanks for featuring 'M' for Millie on the window sill. Secondly, what a find the library table was - it's going to look fantastic once it's received the Lisa treatment. Last but not least, your Laundry is looking truly awesome - a big high five! Glad you've named & shamed Home Depot - very shabby customer service I say.
