Summer heat

Tom teaching Hailey a little about pool maintenance..

And a harsh reminder that the outside of the windows have to be cleaned also...

Re-paint

I knew they would get tired of the polka dots but I was a *little* surprised that it was only a matter of months. Hailey was the first to take the plunge starting with this wall:

Then the rest will be: gray. solid gray.

The fish and the fireplace

Sounds like an interesting tall tale, doesn't it? I'm sure Tom could spin a wonderful yarn about that over a couple glasses of whiskey but, alas, the truth is much less exciting. I hung Tom's fish over the fireplace. :-)

As much as I hate to admit it, it looks pretty good right there.

Craft room bath decor started

I picked up this cute little wall sconce at the Sorticulture event this year. And I found the pussywillow decals in a box in the shop. (Surprise, surprise...)

So Hailey and I went to craft mart and got some silk flowers and greenery. Now that it's all together, I'm not sure I like the flower color with the iris color. No, I definitely don't. :-(
