They guy that we bought our house from was a SLOB! How in the world do you have beautiful wood floors and you tape on them, slop paint everywhere because you are an "artist" then just carpet over it for 23 years - this does not even take into account what the cats did...Sunday, I spent my day gently removing paint and tape and cat stuff - this is a sample typical before and after. Coit is doing restoration on the house for one more day and the movers come on Thursday... Its nice to have all the elbow grease be worth it - the floors look beautiful... This house really just needed some love!
Since the new house is becoming a reality - here is one thing that I will miss about the old house. I had painted poetry on walls, here and there... I can do this in the new house, but it will need to have a little more thought and purpose... Mr.sunneshine has given his permission, as long as we discuss it first - ideas for favorite poetry/quotes/sayings suggestions are running wild... Stay tuned... The quote below is a favorite from the book Ahab's Wife by Sana Jeter Nasland...
And once again, there is no knitting - I can't seem to coordinate the camera and the yarn - it will happen soon, really!!
Happy KNitting!!

Wow!!! I love the pix of your house and can't wait to see all the changes you will make to it!!! Congrats once again!!!
The floors are beautiful once they're cleaned up.
Oh I love the poetry on the walls! It's so neat and pretty. Work on the house like you are doing is tough but it's so much easier to get it done before you get all the stuff in. Good luck!
