The last, major (indoor) project was the playroom…
I don’t know if you remember what it looked like,
but when we bought the house it had a paper like wallboard
in an unfinished attic space.
We framed and drywalled,
put down a cork floor,
painted,
and got this:
Then the cabinet maker (HomeWorks of AR-Dwight Johnson)
worked his magic…
and…
You have to forgive my camera, it’s on it’s last legs!
I’m working on arranging things and touching up paint now.
The color on the walls is Urban Putty (Sherwin Williams) My go-to neutral.
I plan on making a gallery with magnetic chalkboard paint
down the hall and will post pictures when I’m done!
I don’t really like the way it looks in hall
area so probably going to change that color when I do the magnetic paint.
What color to do…
When we can get fresh (good) papaya I go a bit nuts.
I think I’m eating two papayas a week
mainly making these yummies…
Papaya Smoothies
Chopped papaya (I usually use about 1-2 cups of papaya)
Ice Cubes (also 1-2 cups)
Milk (just enough to cover ice and papaya)
Vanilla
Cinnamon
(and sometimes I add a bit of honey if papaya’s not really sweet)
AND
Sometimes I’ll add a Tablespoon or two of Greek Yogurt
1. Make cookies! (These were Snickerdoodles, a good traveling cookie.)
2. Cut two strips of waxed paper, criss-cross and tape. (measure around outside of a clean “Pringle chip” type can and add 3-4″ to determine length of strips.)
3. Place strips in can with cross near top of can.
4. Hold ends of strips and start stacking cookies! You will slowly lower them into the can as you add cookies.
The boys report that the cookies traveled without breaking and stayed fresh! Great for fishing or camping trips!
*The baby dove that the boys rescued was fed by his parents under our watchful eyes.
The other day my husband called me out to show me the whole dove family sitting on the wire.
I just know that they were thanking us!
