Happy Sunday

Good Morning! 

How are you, dear friends? 

I really think of you all as friends. 

 What are you up to this morning? 

I hope that you had time this weekend to pop into a house of worship regardless of your faith. 

We all endure struggles and my faith is what has seen me through. 

What do you think about my new custom blog header? 

A wonderful designer did it for me.

I'll get her information out to you if you are interested.

She has all the computer capabilities and design sense to make custom headers, buttons etc. 

Please come back tomorrow for the recap of the last day of my junking trip with my brother and a junky linky party. 

Get ready to feature some new to you treasures or your best junk finds. 

I'm looking forward to it. 

 I've got exciting things in the works and I can't wait to share them with you. 

Happy Sunday!

Painting The Entry and The Stairwell

I was thrilled when Susan asked me to write a feature for her Life Behind the Blogger Series @ Must Love Junk 
I'd be just as thrilled if you'd head over there to check it out.
Thank you, Susan, for the invitation.

The last time I painted the stairwell and entry way was about 16 years ago. They are both two stories high. 
I was able to do it when I was much younger even though I'm afraid of heights. 

Now we have a friend coming to paint for us. 

I just couldn't face doing this myself and Bill hates painting. 

You can imagine how dinged up these walls have become over the years. 
The color is Antique White by Colorplace. 
Color place is a Walmart paint. 
Yup. 
Walmart paint lasted 16 years.

For a long time I had the left overs to do touch ups but I ran out long ago and I couldn't get a perfect match with a new can. 
This is a very yellowy cream and I'm ready for a grayer beige.
We will see what I find when I go by Sherwin Williams.

It will be a neutral because it will have to last a long time.
I'm not sure if I will change up the drapes but I'll be redoing the picture gallery before I put it back up - if I put it back up.

Our friend said it would only take a weekend or two.
Our youngest moves out today so I'll be working on getting that room fixed up as well. 
What are you up to this weekend?
