From the Land of Sawdust and Plaster

I know I have been a bad blogger lately with such infrequent posts. I'm real sorry.  I hope to make it up to you a little.   I have been working on a bunch of lighting DIY's and tutorials and have decided to dedicate next week to "Lighting Week".  Everything thing you need to know about rewiring, remaking and rehabbing lights- so that will kick off Monday.  And I plan on tossing a giveaway in there too.
Around these parts things have been jam packed crazy as usual. Here is a look at what has been going on in renovation land... Finish Carpentry.
New doors. From the Land of Sawdust and Plaster
 Big ass baseboards. (It will be white from the wood colored piece down) From the Land of Sawdust and Plaster  Said "buh-bye" to the 1960's brick. I did love it so much more after I had painted it white, but I have bigger plans. From the Land of Sawdust and Plaster  Planking is going up over it.   From the Land of Sawdust and Plaster Mantle design is still  in the works and undecided. Right now a simple barn beam is winning.  Who knows.
Crown has begun... From the Land of Sawdust and Plaster  Front door 1960's peek-a-boo divider is gone and walls planked... From the Land of Sawdust and Plaster The wall above is the entry wall that has been painted seven ways to Sunday. Remember a year ago? From the Land of Sawdust and Plaster I will be working on number 8 shortly once the dust clears.
My house looks nothing like it did a week ago for the Fall House Tour. It's sporting a very a chic carefree and cluttered style right now.   I like to refer to it as 'Eclectic Deconstructionism'.  From the Land of Sawdust and Plaster   Those cushions and lumber are perfectly placed. 
As for other life fronts,  this month I turned 39 (I really can't nor want to believe that- the thirties flew).
I ran the Boston Half Marathon again with my friend Tabitha. She kicked butt.  I sucked wind-literally-having forgotten my inhaler.   But we did it! From the Land of Sawdust and Plaster  I have been a color consulting machine these days. From the Land of Sawdust and Plaster  And a big commercial job I have been working on for the past year is almost ready for the fun stuff... paint and paper.  Can't wait for this...

Hope you all have a fun weekend! I think I might get lost in corn maze and drink some cider.
See you Monday!
