The Apple of My Eye...

February 9, 2015

Bummer…no “big reveal” this week either.  Although I’ve been busy this past week, about the only tangible thing I have to show you is the final art work on my beloved wash tub.  (Yes, to me, it will forever be known as “my beloved wash tub”.  Come to think of it, because it belonged to my grandfather, I really must spend some time thinking about which of my family members would be a worthy heir for this item when I’m gone.  I can envision the family now….instead of saying, “I want that beautiful wash tub!” they’re more likely to be saying “No, YOU take that dumb ole wash tub!”)  Oh well, like Scarlet O’Hara (in Gone With The Wind) said, “I’ll think about that tomorrow.”  

I have tons of things that I need to fit into today, so I must get to it.  I apologize for such a short post, but I promise that next week’s will be much better.

This is the "rough draft" that I showed to you in a previous post.

This past week, the apples on my wash tub matured and the tree
grew leaves.  (I know that a real apple tree wouldn't have mature
apples and apple blossoms at the same time, but I couldn't keep
myself from adding a them.  I do not aspire to be a great
artist; I just wanted a little pop of color in my kitchen.)

Another teaser to keep you interested in the kitchen re-do.
This picture is from last week when Charming was putting
down the floor.  The finished floor looks really good.  I
don't think  most people would guess that it's actually
vinyl (plank) flooring.  Charming is a perfectionist when it
comes to the renovation so it's been a slow go.  However,
he has done an absolutely wonderful job on everything!
