Monday Ramblings...

Hey there ~ how was your week-end?

I was basically a working widow

Trev was on call and put in over 30 hours of overtime

starting Friday night at 7

until Sunday night

he is now functioning on not much sleep

and raw nerves

so no paint on the walls

or even a color chosen this week

I did go and look for a sample pot of another shade

on Friday night ~ but it was not there

oh well ~ it will get done!

While I was in the bedroom on Sunday taking "before" pictures

I had a model

Cooper 2011

that's my boy

all freaky whiskers and a wet chin

I think he is a cutie pie

so on Sunday because he was working so hard

I made Trev chocolate chip pancakes

and sausages for brunch

too bad he had to eat them while on yet another

conference call!

He went back into the office that afternoon

so I took off with my camera and got some snow shots

which I posted about here

then I met up with my brother and niece at the sliding hill

Samantha had a ball!

~*~*~*~*~

I thought I would share our office re-do with you

it is a "man cave"

it is finished except for baseboards

which will be stained and installed in the spring

and we have a couple more things to hang on the walls

it was the last room in the house to have anything done to it

I looked for a before picture ~ but cannot find one

it had white walls and teal colored carpet

we painted the walls a terracotta

and the room is all about trucks and the

fire department

the flooring is the same throughout the top floor

except for the master which we have not chosen yet

I love the color of it and how it matches 

all the other wood pieces in the house

I chose a roman shade and has a variation of colors

like the floor.

we took the closet door off and painted the area

so now it acts a cubby

which our filing cabinet fits into perfectly

if the cabinet did not weigh 500 pounds empty

I would take it outside and spray paint it

either black or a chocolate brown

but that my friends ~ ain't gonna happen

it is just too heavy

I am also on the look out for a little shelf
that will slide in beside the cabinet
then I can get some cool storage pieces
and get rid of those paper boxes!

I am looking for some ideas for the bulletin board

I think I will paint the frame out in brown

but not sure what to do with the cork area

any ideas??

I will leave you with another shot
of my model...

Have a fabulous Monday!
