Weekend photo roundup, 2
Good morning campers! Welcome to the weekend photo roundup, part deux. And boy, do we have a treat for you today. We painted the Living Room this weekend! Ace Hardware "Mango Tango".

I got the idea actually last spring while at Home Depot with my brother. Behr makes a line of paint for Disney, and they have this funky orange called "100 Acre Woods".

Yes, as much as I completely detest Winnie the Pooh, in this case he was very helpful.

Anyway, the only hiccup in the painting was that we used a satin finish on the living room (as compared to an eggshell finish, like we did in the bedroom). It's pretty glossy. Too glossy. You can't really tell from these photos, but in the daylight there are quite a few reflections. Hopefully some art on the walls will cut the glare down. If not, well, it only took three days to paint. We could do it again.

(shudder)

So here we go ...




















The last one is from March, it's for reference only.

And yes, I purposely got lots of photos of the cat this time, it's kind of a joke.

Lastly, an update on the garden. The parsley is growing great guns, we have a dang grove of it.




The chives, however, look a little weak.




Is that what they're supposed to look like? I don't think so ...
