OOOOHHHH

This was tonights sunset from our front porch.

I am not a fan of fall because it means that winter is just
around the corner with months of rain and gray sky.

So I had to capture something about fall that I do like.
This beautiful sunset fit the bill. 

Enjoy,

Annette

What are you doing this weekend??

This is where I will be this weekend!
A Vintage Gathering  is having their
last show of this year.  It will include a
lovely Autumn Twilight evening on Fri.
the 16th from 5 to 8 PM.  There will be music
and other festivities.  On Saturday they will
have the regular hours of 8 AM to 4 PM.

Now is the time for fall decor, Halloween, and
all the other vintage treats available at these shows.
For details please see the blog at
avintagegathering.blogspot.com

Things are coming along....

My "Andy's Nest" is not finished but
is ready for some views.  This is the area
that the guests will use.

This is my desk where I will do pricing
and other things to get items ready
to go to Andy's Attic.

Looking out the window.  My desk on the
right.  I have a nice view on a good day.

My chair will be covered in red linen.  For
those who don't know, I am a fan of red!

And a view from the door into the room.  I still
need to put more things on the walls and
tidy up a few areas.  My cat, Munchkin, has
a bed on the long table that sits against the
window. She likes to be with her mom.
(and her mom likes her to be there)


As more developes I will keep you "posted".

Until then, keep safe and smile,

Annette

Have you used one of these???

Have you used one of these?  I had a couple of
people tell me they are really great and easy to use.

Since Mr. Attic is the main painter in the family, I got
him one to try.  That was 3 rooms ago...he likes the
old fashioned way.

Yesterday I came home and decided after he had cut in
all the edges...I would paint the walls.  It took me 1 1/2
hours to do the 12x16 room.  I do not know if that is a
quick amount of time or not.  I do know it was EASY.

I never stepped on a ladder and I am only 5'3".  There
were no spills, splatter, drips, nothing.  I loved it!!!

I am now curious.....Mr. Attic says he doesn't know how long
it would take him to roll out the walls the "old fashioned" way.

Do you??  Was it quick and EASY or just EASY?
I would recommend this little gadget, but I am no painter.....

May you all have a safe and fun weekend,

Annette

ps  can someone please tell me why, when I type
out my post, it all lines up correctly and when
I publish the lines are thrown around??

The Next Project

 This is our guest room.  We don't have many guests

as  nobody likes us most of our friends and

relatives live nearby.  This bedroom set has been passed

down to the oldest daughter since it belonged to my 

great grandmother.  It includes a dresser and side

table not in the pictures.

I am moving my Andy's Attic "office" into this room.
It means rearranging things a bit but will give me a private
place for all my junk.  We my husband will paint the room
starting today.  I am very excited about this change and
quite frankly it is all I think about.

Moving my things out of our shared office means another
project down the road.......redo of the office.  How fun is
that??  One of these days the house will be finished.

More of the project soon,

Annette

PS  Thank you to all who commented on the new blog look.
I am still working on changing a few things and appreciate the
feedback very much!!

I needed a change

The blog has looked the same for too long.  I've  been
blogging about 2 years and just am sort of tired of the look.


I had wanted  barn wood on the sides for a while but
couldn't find what I wanted.  Well, lo and behold, blogger 
has their own backgrounds (yes, I am slow to catch on) and
there was my barn wood.  Then came the header........ I liked
all the color in the old one but decided on a collage that 
includes me  (yes, the little girl is me).


So now I need some feedback, please.  I am far from being
a designer and I want a happy looking, cheery blog.  I am wondering if 
the barn wood is too dark?? Are the pictures too dark???  Am I over-
thinking it all??  Should it simply be one picture for the header instead 
of a collage??  You will not hurt my feelings if you tell me the truth.  I 
like the truth.  Please leave a comment for me so I can ponder more
ideas.


If Irene is around you, you are in my thoughts.  I've been through hurricanes
and they are not fun!


Till next time,


Annette

More going to Andy's Attic

A couple more pictures...instant vintage hanger collection.
