THE FINAL TIME?...

Dear Friends:

I hope this is the last time

 I ever have to show you a new paint job, 

one that somehow looks

 just like one that came before.

I think I might have mentioned

 just how much I disliked 

the blue walls in the Sitting Room 

with the color of our newest sofa.

  When said sofa started falling apart

 (notice peeling starting on arm now) 

I knew I needed to do something different

 in order to keep my sanity. 

 The sofa was supposed to be

 a natural color for leather but, in reality, 

it is downright orange. 

 Do you think that maybe the "orange gods"

 were hearing my complaints 

and that is why it started peeling off?! 

 Be careful what you wish for.

Anyway,

 we worked our backsides off 

getting a new coat of paint on the walls.  

We had it special mixed 

to match a set of books I have.  

The photos do not show the true color, however. 

 It has a warmer brown tone than it shows...

...if you remember what it was like

 before the blue paint 

you might think this is the same color, but it isn't.

  I am happy with it

 and now can't wait to get another area rug to match. 

 Eventually, we would like to have hardwood put down

 but, for now, this carpet will have to do.

We moved the anniversary sign and the candle holders from the dining room 

and replaced them in there with something appropriate which will be revealed at Christmas...

 ...now I am concentrating on putting a 

pretty tablescape together for Thanksgiving 

and keeping Christmas in the background 

for the time being.

Hope all is well with everyone 

and wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving gathering.

Until next time...
