Have I ever mentioned how grateful I am that I am not asked to do any of the painting? I’ll be honest and tell you it’s because I suck at it. I hate having to be so precise and I don’t want to be responsible if a drip, (more like 109 drips) get on something important perminantly.
Wayne’s crew is back to paint the remainder of the cabinetry, touch ups, the barn…
Dennis spent the day installing more of the cabinetry that he and Jeff created in their shop….
These are book shelves in the area between the mancave and the family room. The window seat in between has storage for blankets and will have a comfortable cushion and vintage pillow or two.
My dining room light fixture hijacked removed from our current home and installed in This Old House….
The brick layers have already finished the front walk, patio in the backyard is half complete!….
Neighbor dog Lulu showered Mike with the usual adoration today. We all love her, but she only has eyes for Mike.
That tiny little line is lettuce, beans are already three inches tall… and look what I found at the grocery store…. we’ve not had luck with watermelon in the past, guessing the soil isn’t sandy enough, but this variety is new to me, so I bought a few plants and we’ll see what comes of it.
Everything is looking good. I am painting my sitting room today and tomorrow. I wish I had painters do it instead, but I always paint if I want something changed. Love the dining room chandelier.
We used to grow yellow watermelons and they are delicious! I like them much better than the red. We moved to town, so we don't have room for a watermelon vine to roam as they love to do.
Your house is spectacular!
Coveting your backyard! Oh yes I am!!
Hubby and I do our own painting. It's good to do lots of things around here just because it saves a ton of money when you don't have to pay for labor.

My dad had many gardens over the years. One year he decided to plant watermelons. Planted 200 plants. We had watermelon running our our ears!
Oops… OUT our ears. I hate when that happens!
Your cabinets are gorgeous (it's a word I'm using a lot when commenting on your posts, along with: wonderful, beautiful, jealous ;-)).
I just love that window seat. I WANT ONE!
And the garden is looking good! Your lettuce is about as big, ahum, as mine is. We can have a competition whose lettuces grow better 😉
Good luck with the watermelons.
…looks great…and i hate painting too, just don't have the patience for it!!! so funny you mentioned watermelon. we kind of live near the watermelon capital of the world…in fact the watermelon festival is coming up soon. guess you know, i am going to have to come up there and inspect all the happenings firsthand! xoxo, mickey
Everything is looking so nice, the yard, as well. I love the poochie.

Your home is making me drool! WOW how stunning, love that chande too, really looks great. I found you from Kim's Savvy Southerner, and I saw you mentioned you have an old house….I love the charm and character old hims can bring. We have a new home, but love Old world style.
