Just in Time for Christmas...

good morning!
grey skies and stormy weather
are my friends today...
after wilting in the heat yesterday
i am reviving with each raindrop and cool breeze.

as you know mr t and sharrie
went off on their merry way
to bendigo
{where mr t has just got work as a chef in a hotel...yay!!!}

since they left
mr m has been busy...
scraping away the paint
from the walls of the bedroom...


there has been quite a few coats
given to this old room over the years!

it's a funny old room
with odd angles
no windows
and two doors...
the ones above open out to the east
where there is a little sleepout type of area
banked with windows...
and the other door,
is a regular door opposite this one
leading into the kitchen/dining room space!

 mr m has been sleeping in the front room..
that really used to be a front verandah,
but was closed in a long time ago.

this will be his new room...
painted this colour

it's called complex grey
by dulux
we'll get it in the silk...a smooth matt finish.

mr m and mr p go and pick up miss b's stuff from brisbane
this weekend {no grey skies allowed}.
she finishes work today and is off to canada on boxing day!

then mr m will have a lovely big bed
to stretch his frame on...

and i will have my front room back to normal...
or even better!
{by Christmas...so we can put the Christmas tree up...just in time!}


it won't be this one...
this is from 'chatz', the cafe at our church
{with permission!}

but i couldn't resist a little Christmas in this post!

...and here's just a little more!

enjoy your friday
and get into the spirit of Christmas this weekend!

  1. That room really does have some odd angles, but it gives it a lot of character. Love the color you chose to paint it.

    Red & purple for Christmas? Christmas trees on poles? I learn something new from you every day, Carol:)

  4. I love the Grace canvas collage.
    Sanding paint is so not fun but it's worth it for a great finish.
    Wishing you a blessed and Merry Christmas if I don't get back. I am going to enjoy using my apron next week.

    I do love the Christmas tree - red and purple bold and sparkly and gorgeous just like Christmas should be.
