Long time coming....

My friends, I have been absent longer than I thought! I have had some major computer issues.  All my pictures are on my laptop, and I'm on Jim's laptop now :(  

We are still trudging right along at Sunnybrook, as a matter-of-fact we were there all last week and a lot of little details that probably wouldn't interest you have gotten done.  We have an outside dining room wall insulated and ready for bead board and trim, as well as the hallway ceiling....which should get accomplished soon...very soon. I will then be able to post pictures of the kitchen, dining room and the hallway. A floor is going down in the dining room, and then sanding the kitchen, sitting room and that big ol' hallway floor comes next.  I'm going to paint ceilings downstairs and one bedroom ceiling upstairs, and the walls of that same bedroom.  I'm having such a horrible time trying to decide on colors.  I really think white walls and ceilings is the way to go in a farmhouse, but maybe too safe.  Jim thinks some pale wall color would be fine for farmhouse walls. I'm going to step out of the box and paint the kitchen, dining room and one upstairs bedroom a creamy beige with vintage looking cream lacy curtains (think of your grandmother/great-grandmother's house....I want something akin to that!) I'd love to find some of the vintage chenille bedspreads, but they're too expensive and the newer ones just don't have the same look. 

I'm so excited to be almost ready for some furnishings!...of course  I'd be more excited if our pockets were a little deeper ;)  I don't really want anything new looking though. I want everything to have some wear and tear...like it's been there for a while....except mattresses.  I don't want yardsale mattresses from someone I don't know; however, as I told some of my friends, I guess that's what we get any time we stay in a hotel! 

I have some beautiful spring pictures at Sunnybrook. I'll try to get those posted.  I hope you're still out there! I promise to try to do better.  Honestly, not too many new pictures since I last posted. No room is furnished yet, or even ready for furnishings....but SO almost ready ;)
