We've had a couple of very busy weeks here at Mimi's Cottage.
I thought when we retired things would slow down a little.
Boy, was I ever wrong.
We did, however, check another project off our long, long list.
The entry is finally finished.
Remember how the Mister decided to install the beadboard the week
before Christmas? yikes
Well, last week we got er done.
It only took two months!!
Before
This is the paintable, textured wallpaper that I got at Lowes.com.
It's painted yellow and it lives above the wide beadboard paneling.
I couldn't find a trim that I liked so we made our own.
The scallop is from Michael's the three other pieces are from Home Depot.
Some of my favorite things are in the entry.
Like my kids silhouettes that we had done while we visited
Disneyland in the 70's and 80's.
Love them. (love my kids too)
Love this Christy Repassy hollyhock painting.
Love this calligraphy piece that my mom made for my grandma when
she took an art class in college way back in the early 40's.
Love this drawing of our house that was a birthday card from an adorable friend.
Her artist husband drew this for me for my 58th birthday.
Love little birdies.
After three plus years in this house we can cross another project off our list!
