I've been away—not gone, but away from the blog and blogging. Lots more unexpected house projects came up: the short story is that we discovered some rot in the houseboat and we had to tear-off 2-ft of the front to rebuild. We took the opportunity to replace a window with a single french door. With 15 lights (glass panes) we have a ot more sunlight coming in and a new entry to boot. Next is to finish putting up flashing around all the eves that we had to cut back because water got in and rotted them too! Those of you who have real houses and real roofs should count your blessings!
In the meantime, I am trying to stay creatively inspired, came across this link for some pretty headboard ideas. While headboards are not #1 on my mind, I saw some nice ideas here for whenever we get around to re-building our bed frame... http://www.bhg.com/rooms/bedroom/headboard/pretty-headboard-decorating-ideas
Doug also rescued some chairs for me that were on the way to the dumpster—two matching Knoll chairs in a simple retro style I love! If we can clean them up they will be fine, but I may need to recover them if the stains don't come out. Or, just toss a nice trow on them!
Last night I made a delicious Honey Dijon chicken dinner. I will try to write up a recipe, and may need to recreate it again for a photo to post. Doug keeps telling me I should compete on one of the TV shows. I had a bizarre dream in which I had to compete in front of Gordon Ramsey, not as a chef, but as a dancer.
So You Think You Can Dance meets
Master Chef... lets just say my performance was a total embarrassment! What a shame.
