A blizzard…again!

Well, here I am – it’s 3:30 on a cold, extremely windy, miserable day.

Trevor went in this morning to the hospital to take a computer upgrade seminar…and the teacher didn’t even show up! He came home again and decided to work on one of the indoor projects on his list.

He wanted to put up picture rails in the front entry hall, then paint. I’m so glad that it is finally getting done! I don’t like looking at the white walls out there all the time. I took a couple of shots as he was just starting.

You can see “Celise” hanging up above the stairs. Another chance to see the size!

Here he is drawing the pencil line around. A lot of white, eh?? That fixture has to go as well!

Here’s the ‘after’ picture taken about 15 minutes ago…

Looking better.

We were quite surprised that no one on the island seemed to know what picture rails were, even though there are tons of gorgeous, old, Victorian homes here! We couldn’t buy them anywhere. We ended up ordering them in from the States. They came in 4′ lengths so he has to piece them together. We also ordered some brass hooks at the same time so we can hang pictures  without putting nails in the walls. Our walls are all narrow laths really close together under plaster.

Oh, here’s my new light fixture for the upstairs bathroom.

I love it! We found the fixture at Home Depot and the only one they had in was a rust colour. We bought it along with some white spray paint. Trev lightly sprayed it so some of the rust shows through. I think it looks older now. Anyway, it gives us a lot more light than the single bulb that was up there before.
