Been Busy, and Totally Into Facebook......
Where does the time go?? I have been working so much, I haven't thought much to post here, although I do pop onto Facebook daily to see what my neighbors and former classmates & coworkers are up to....I'm not addicted...I can stop anytime.....
I am posting pictures of this week's project (next week's too). We are finally tiling the den floor....the wood floors in there are not original heart pine like the rest of the floors, and have been eaten by termites to the point of needing total replacement. The room has dark stained wood walls, so I thought black and white checkerboard tiles would brighten the room up....so far, I think it looks great (the bottom pic is the contents of the den hanging out in our dining room). Makes me want to do checker board throughout the tiled areas....the kitchen, downstairs bath and laundry room. Maybe later. We have volunteered to host the Porch Party in April, so we are now working with a time line in which to finish some of the "hangers on"....the ceilings still need to be patched, the backyard is a MESS....paint touch ups are needed everywhere....This will be another Speakeasy party, so it should be fun. I don't strive for perfection, I will never have that until we win the lottery, but I'd like for it to look decent....

Excellent choice on the tiles! We have tiles through main living areas. We are still undecided on bedroom options... bamboo? sisal? carpet squares? Who knows. Good luck on your projects. You will get there.
