I'm going a little stir crazy being off work for a few months (one month so far and at least another month to go) but I'm in good spirits and someday when my kids have kids I can sit my grandkids on my knee and tell them about the time I dangled over a canyon in a harness hanging by a cable to a helicopter, and tell them yep, grandma Jenny does all her stunts! Lol!

I love your plans ...Hope your sweet daughter is ok!<br />I love your plans for your guest room. Adding some trim above your window will really help -- I agree.. Brilliant idea!<br /><br />Thank you so much for weighing in on dresser paint colors. I really appreciate it. Always buying paint and trying to find a color or a couple colors that will be neutral enough for resale so thank you for taking part in my little poll!<br /><br />Have a lovely week.<br />Alison :)Alison @ The Polohousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04158070644111719007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-84055970729051074822015-05-12T18:29:03.670-05:002015-05-12T18:29:03.670-05:00Ouch!

I think your "just do it" plan is great and your list of "things I know" is also good - especially the part about the white trim.

Bet you would like it. I, too, always want white trim.<br />Now, can you have a board cut the length of your window, making a heavy, substantial shelf with beautiful corbals and put taller things on it...so as to match the height of your door?bj https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327534885194207074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-19120763774797772552015-05-06T16:02:19.793-05:002015-05-06T16:02:19.793-05:00Rivercrest Cottage,

Sorry to he...Rivercrest Cottage,<br />Oh, my goodness!!!<br />Sorry to hear of your daughter's accident, dear friend!!!<br />Prayers coming your way for healing!!!<br />I agree. . .just DO IT!!!<br />I see a ton of potential in that area. . .but agree to trim out the window!!!<br />I, too ( after 13 years) had grown weary of the yellow~hued paint on our walls. Not a day goes by that I don't tell "Mr. Ed", "I love the color of our walls!" He agrees!!!<br />I'll be watching for reveals!!!<br />Fondly,<br />PatPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777939835671223780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-62477076096784346102015-05-06T14:31:54.693-05:002015-05-06T14:31:54.693-05:00I can't imagine you have an ugly area in your ...I can't imagine you have an ugly area in your home. Having said that, knowing what you want to use the area for might help. I'm constantly looking for an area to sit and read in quiet, without wanting to get up and DO something, like paint, or sew, or embroider... I do like your idea of making the windows look evener, how will you do that? Looking forward to your transformation.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171389134207433317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-36028947372718820252015-05-06T09:27:27.780-05:002015-05-06T09:27:27.780-05:00So sorry to hear about your daughter's fall.
