Starting with the powder room.

This room was one of the most stressful rooms ever! I mean, really. Picking out a color to make my heart sing was trying, at best.

I was happy with choices “3” times. 3 x’s people! And after sleeping on the color, I doubted my happy choice.

Luckily I didn’t have to paint the room 3 x’s, as I just purchased samples and painted large swatches around the room.

And 8 different color samples were splashed in there before making the final decision.

But let me tell you, once the hubs helped me choose a color I already liked, that was it. Just. Like. That. We had our decision and paint was purchased last weekend. And the official start date on the painting, was bright and early Monday morning.

And the baseboards got a couple of coats of paint too. It’s like having a brand new space.

And here’s the after shot on its own. My heart truly sings after all the effort and hard work. Now to add the pretties. That should be FUN!

Last weekend we had drain pipe delivered for the outdoor project.

And by the end of the weekend we had it installed.

I have not progressed much as far as taking images this week. But I did take a couple of shots in the backyard.

And for relaxation, I truly enjoy spending time around the pond. They love dinner!

Points of interest this week:

• Our produce patch is flourishing! And it seems we notice big leaps each week after we fertilize.
• I painted in 4 different rooms. And I love that I can see where I’ve been.
• The hubs caught a little cold Thursday and spent the day home sick yesterday.
• We have another update coming right along in the backyard as we speak. The guys are working so hard.
• And we lounged pretty much all day today and if feels good to take a nice time-out.
