Hey there ~ how was your week-end?
I was basically a working widow
Trev was on call and put in over 30 hours of overtime
starting Friday night at 7
until Sunday night
he is now functioning on not much sleep
and raw nerves
so no paint on the walls
or even a color chosen this week
I did go and look for a sample pot of another shade
on Friday night ~ but it was not there
oh well ~ it will get done!
While I was in the bedroom on Sunday taking "before" pictures
I had a model

| Cooper 2011 |
that's my boy
all freaky whiskers and a wet chin
I think he is a cutie pie
so on Sunday because he was working so hard
I made Trev chocolate chip pancakes
and sausages for brunch
too bad he had to eat them while on yet another
conference call!
He went back into the office that afternoon
so I took off with my camera and got some snow shots
which I posted about here
then I met up with my brother and niece at the sliding hill
Samantha had a ball!

I thought I would share our office re-do with you
it is a "man cave"
it is finished except for baseboards
which will be stained and installed in the spring
and we have a couple more things to hang on the walls
it was the last room in the house to have anything done to it
I looked for a before picture ~ but cannot find one
it had white walls and teal colored carpet
we painted the walls a terracotta
and the room is all about trucks and the
fire department
the flooring is the same throughout the top floor
except for the master which we have not chosen yet
I love the color of it and how it matches
all the other wood pieces in the house
I chose a roman shade and has a variation of colors
like the floor.
we took the closet door off and painted the area
so now it acts a cubby
which our filing cabinet fits into perfectly
if the cabinet did not weigh 500 pounds empty
I would take it outside and spray paint it
either black or a chocolate brown
but that my friends ~ ain't gonna happen
it is just too heavy
I am also on the look out for a little shelf
that will slide in beside the cabinet
then I can get some cool storage pieces
and get rid of those paper boxes!

I am looking for some ideas for the bulletin board
I think I will paint the frame out in brown
but not sure what to do with the cork area
any ideas??
I will leave you with another shot
of my model...
Have a fabulous Monday!
