Where are the new mice, bears and bunnies you ask? Here, there and everywhere! I know it has been some time since I've had anything new to show you. Rest assured they are under construction ~ as it feels is our home as well.
We've bit the bullet and have started the process of re-doing the flooring in our entire house. Yay! The fun part was of course going to the flooring store and picking out new materials. Then the realization set in ~ the realization that NOW is the time to complete some rather messy jobs around the house ~ BEFORE the new carpeting is installed. So Mr. Cobblestone and I have been busy.
It started with painting baseboards, which lead to painting whole rooms, refinishing the lower kitchen cabinets and even adding a wall or two. Please don't report me to the HGVT gurus who worship at the altar of open concept. Come on ~ our quaint and cozy New England style cape has no business trying to be open concept. I think the house is happier now that we've put it back to the way it should be.
Rockport Harbor
We have manged to do a bit more exploring ~ more about that in a later post ~ and we try to enjoy our harbor as often as we can.
I was happy to spot these buttercups blooming along the
roadside one evening on our walk to the harbor.
Did you too hold them under chins when you were a
kid to see if that person liked butter?
Takes you back, doesn't it . . .
it's your house and you can do it anyway you want. I swear, I won't report you. Don't blame me if a bunch of workers show up to demo a wall.
ReplyDeletetake care, and hope the process goes quickly.

Thanks, Lisa. One room completely done ~ 8 more to go! Hope I survive! ;) Just when we had a house exactly like we wanted it, we moved. Ah well ~ Maine is definitely worth it!
DeleteLooking forward to seeing what you have to offer us for Halloween this year. Your work has such an innocence about it.
Be well! xxx
