NOT a picture of the day....


This is my dining room. Ordinarily it would be nice and clean, with a table you could eat off of. However, this is the dining room anytime I have a project. It is the perfect room. Good lighting, windows for ventilation and a ceiling fan to aid drying time. I can hear my children, and can shut the doors into it so they don't touch wet paint. This is my dining room at the moment, I am painting that rather large armoire. It used to be white with green trim/detail. I found a dark black/brown/red color that almost perfectly matches the table and chairs, and am transforming the armoire. A microwave cart will also be one of the projects painted to match. I will take another picture when all is done. I have enjoyed looking at all the clean house pictures, and thought you all would feel even better seeing mine with most of my scrapbook stuff on table and chairs, box on the floor, stuff everywhere. I can't wait to be done. We can't eat in there right now, there is no space!

I'm so glad I have a garage IN the backyard, access to the kids who might be playing, easy breeze, still protected area, for my projects...now if I could just get started on one...

Hoorah for "lived in" houses! So you have a project to do, enjoy it and stop beating yourself up. Just keep reminding yourself how nice your dining room will look with everything put away in the armoir that matches your table! Green and white would look dastardly!
