I’m blogging from my phone today because my computer has decided to completely die. I’m not sure what’s going on there. It worked fine yesterday when I got home from work and now it’s just showing me the red “recharge battery” symbol — and it’s been plugged in and charging all night. It won’t even turn on using the power cord. Argh!
I suppose I need to go buy a new computer. This one’s been around for a while. I think I got it in 2015.
Anyway, before that snafu, I was excited to report that our repainting project is DONE! Woo hoo! As you can see above, everything in the living room is back in place — including Dave. He and I worked a couple of hours after getting home from work to put our rooms in order.
And here’s the very blue bedroom. I like it! We have to re-hang the big picture on the left but that’s roughly where it goes. As you may have noticed, we moved the gigantic yucca from the living room to the bedroom because the ceiling there is higher. I’m a little afraid it’s going to fall on me in the night and put my eyes out. Wouldn’t THAT be a news story? “Man Loses Eyes While Sleeping.”
Please ignore the awful drapes — a problem still to be resolved.
Dave decided that he wants fewer tchotchkes sitting around, and despite all appearances I’m really not a tchotchke person either. So I’m going to box some of them up and stick them in a closet. As someone in the comments said a few days ago, painting provides a great opportunity to evaluate all your stuff — both ownership and placement.
And here's the Cranberry Crunch front door!
Change the charger first, more likely the problem than the computer.
ReplyDeleteYes, I will do that. The cord is giving me a green light at the connection point so it seems to be connecting, but who knows.
DeleteSnafu was the word that cost me a long run on Wordle a while ago. Definitely not English!
ReplyDeleteThe blue was a good choice - looks good
Oh yes. I like the blue too.
ReplyDeleteDave looks very comfortable there!
Ooh and a big fat Yes for the front door!
DeleteThe blue is a lovely shade...much nicer than the previous dark brown!
ReplyDeleteI had to look up Snafu and tchotchkes! ...though I sort of guessed tchotchkes!
Good paint choices. Yes, painting is a good chance to sort out and assess!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue
ReplyDeleteThe painting looks wonderful. I love that blue and the cranberry crunch is a joy. Oh, Dave, looks wonderful, too. I love your place. We have lots of stuff still sitting around, but I do have a couple of boxes closeted with things to be recirculated at times. We think alike at times (sorry). When I was 19, I was on a plane that hit such surprising and awful turbulence we thought we were about to crash. My immediate thought was “Brooklyn Boy Drops from Sky Between London and Pisa.”
ReplyDeleteI like the blue in the bedroom and the red front door. It will be interesting to see how the blue lights up when (if) morning sun streams into the room - which way does it face?
ReplyDeleteThe blue looks fantastic and that front door is just lush!!
ReplyDeleteThat blue is beautiful. The white offsets it nicely so it doesn't feel dark at all. Good job!
