Shells! I love shelling. I never find anything really unusual, though, so apparently I’m not very good at it. I even lost my shell identification book while we were on Ocracoke Island. In the gift shops, my daughter kept telling me to BUY the pretty shells…. I don’t want to buy them! I want to find them! Ah, well. I will play with the ordinary shells I found. Need to dig up a pretty glass bowl from somewhere to display them….
Today, I’m painting the front hall!!! My weekend project. Yes, only eight short months after I bought the paint, I’m actually going to USE IT!!!! Maybe I’m in the mood now because the paint color I chose was very similar to beach sand…. With three children, I believe in buying paint that resembles dirt. Much more efficient in the longterm. I did all the trim yesterday, so today I get to roll fresh sand-colored paint right over all those dirty handprints! Can’t wait! Anyone else got any weekend projects planned, this weekend or coming up? I love decorating.
"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

I cleaned the piles of books and manuscripts up off the floor in my office. So now it looks like I have new carpet. Does that count as decorating?
Congrats on ALL your great reviews!

Our project? Clearing out and reorganising the utility room, since we’re going to turn one end of it into the downstairs toilet.
We took a whole car-load of spider-infested junk to the dump. Deeply satisfying…

I base all my colors on that beach house thing–except for the Barbie pink in our upstairs hall that is garish and awful :yuck: My daughter LOVES it. LOL.
Weekend projects for me are alway writing (if people would stop inviting me out :thumbsdown:) Hubby does the decorating (as he hates how I paint-must be the artist in me?:fryingpan:) and I choose the colors.

Sounds like you’re going to be busy. We’re going to be finishing up the bathroom and starting on our two new rooms. Um…not decorating. Not yet. More like working our arses off.

I couldn’t say anything about the paint finally being used after you purchased it eight months ago. Today, I finally put up wall hangings and pictures…that I bought about a year and a half ago. And I need to borrow somebody’s kids so I can have an excuse as to why. :rolleyes:

Weekend projects, well helping my dad with yardwork. We’re becoming stone people this year, digging out lawn and putting in those charcoal gray stones. So far we’ve done a sitting area for my mom on the side of the house and tonight we just started the area for the barbecue.
