Blogging at lunch is something out of my past - the past where I didn't have internet at home. (coughSarasotacough) Now we do have internet at home, there's never enough time to blog, and I'm back to rushing together a post at lunchtime. Last night we had a kind of first-floor convergence: our new rug matches the walls, which are accented by the chairs. We moved the bookshelves, which tie to the chairs which tie to the stitching in the sofa, which will never tie to anything, and found that the results are a much bigger-feeling room with a more connected feeling. I like it. It finally feels like a place we'll enjoy spending relaxing time when we have some.
The details of the evening were like this: we had the rest of some awesome canneloni that Jenelle made Tuesday while I worked late getting the logistics project off the ground. Ollie and Maya roamed free while I roamed with the cordless driver putting faceplates and handrails back on the wall. We put the mirror back up in the bathroom and cursed builders' grade lighting. Then, we organized in the loft, which needed organizing like whoa.
Tonight is 'hanging stuff on the walls night' and then cleaning. Our first overnight guest arrives Saturday and that puts some pressure on to make sure the house looks the way we want.
