House Update

I haven't posted in a while, because I've felt like I've been eaten alive by the house. All that effort was put to good use, as you soon shall see!







All but one room (the guest room needs painting) is complete! Future projects include landscaping the yard, moving the fence, and putting tile (!)over the kitchen floor.

This week, though, Taylor and I are off to North Carolina to see his family, and enjoy some authentic barbeque! Yee-haw!

Drug Companies Rush to Harness Red Wine's Anti-Aging Properties

When will someone get around to studying the health benefits of rum? I drink that!

Bathroom Update

This is our completed downstairs/guest bathroom.





I've had people ask, so let me assure you that the walls are a faux finish, not just badly painted. In reality it's probably a combination of both, although I've learned from Home and Garden Television that imperfections in a paint job are "organic."

Our color schemes are brown, white, and blue, the brown being provided by our shower curtain, towels, and bronze accessories.

Since it's our one truly completed room, I like to hide in here when I start becoming overwhelmed by the chaos of the rest of my house. It's funny, because growing up in a family of six in a two-bedroom single-wide trailer, the bathroom was the only place I could get any privacy, and so became a avenue of escape for young Meghan. Now that I'm grown and have my own house, I'm still using a bathroom for a sanctuary. It somehow doesn't seem inappropriate.
