The Remodel

I think I mentioned once before that I'm going to be movin into my sister's old mobile home. Actually, we call them house trailer's, but mobile home doesn't sound so "redneck". Anyway, sister and family have been out of it since April. It has since been kinda used as a storage unit. My dear traveling buddies are helping me paint/decorate this new hut. I'm goin for the " on the outside it's a house trailer, but when you walk in the door you'd never know it" look. So, gone are all the weirdo mirrors by the big bathtub. What's up with that????? I've spent the last 2 nights cleaning, taking off the switch/outlet covers, and cleaning red dirt off the baseboards. I've got more of that to do tonight.

When we're finished I'm hoping for a lovely, homey feeling spot for myself and whoever comes to visit. Which will likely be only family and my painting friends. I'm good with that.

I've been planning where my Christmas tree will go for a month now. I'm hoping I get that officially decided before Dec. 24th. I've also been planning flower beds and rock gardens. I love the way my friend Char has her flower beds outside her house. It's very rustic and haphazard! I love that!! I believe she has the greenest thumb I've ever seen.

Anyway, I'm ready to get it all done and move in. I guess patience isn't my best virtue!!
