EXCUSE ME BUT...HAVEN'T WE MET BEFORE?...

Going back a couple of posts, 

I described how rooms in the Cottage were

 when it came into our safe keeping. 

 Over what seems like

 a long period of time, 

we worked diligently 

to change each room

 into the vision that was

 within our heart and soul.  

As it turns out,

 that vision that we had for...

...the guest room...

...the parlor...

...and the entry 

was right on point.

 With the exception

 of changing the entry and parlor flooring, 

those rooms, today, 

remain just as we saw them then. 

 They obviously were 

the right visions 

for us.

If you will remember 

our first choice for the dining room

 was wallpaper with a red background.

  Not very different from

 how it looks today.

It seems now,

 like we were on the right track back then.

  We just had to change it 

one more time

 before we

 knew it.

Our first go-round 

with the kitchen 

started out with a white background

 but added pink and blue to the mix 

as I showed you last time. 

 In between 

there were red checks and 

two different shades of yellow.

 Now it is returned 

to a white background. 

 The only difference is 

the red that now accompanies

 the white.  

On the whole,

 pretty much the same again.

The time has come 

to let you know 

what those five little words were 

that the Captain uttered 

on that eventful day:

"I don't like this color!"

As I stated at the time,

 those words sent me on a quest

 for the perfect color 

for the sitting room and

 I don't mind telling you, 

I was happy to 

take on the task.

Now, 

let me recount what the changes were

 in the sitting room.

  Our #1 journey was blue. 

 We loved it and 

lived with it, and our country decor,

 for quite some time.

As time passed 

we decided to make the room more fitting 

for a Victorian cottage,

 so we changed to a

 really pretty burgundy 

with a touch of gold bling and

 Gone-With-the-Wind lighting. 

 Then we decided 

another change was in order...

...so we went back to blue 

but the burgundy carpeting

 threw the whole thing off and 

we quickly nipped that combination 

in the bud.  

We then replaced the carpet 

with a light color and 

changed the paint to another light color and

 that is how the room looked

 until those fateful words

 were spoken by

 the Captain.

Maybe 

you have figured out 

where this is going by now, and 

I don't mean to be a tease, 

really I don't. 

 As most of our jobs go

 -very slowly- 

this one is no exception. 

 I had hoped to reveal

 the finished room today but

 it is not quite done 

so the final will be,

 hopefully,

 next week. 

 For now 

a small sneak peek 

at our 

final decision:

And - once again - 

we are right back

 where we started.

 I guess the moral of this story 

could be any number 

of old cliches:

What goes around, comes around.

Everything old is new again.

Don't second guess yourself.

Your first choice is always your best.

Or...

Don't look any further

 then your garage 

for a can of paint.

I'm looking forward 

to sharing it all with you

 next week.
