Newport, Oregon 2 days ago...

I had to post these photos of G and I at the coast (while our floors were being done). It was perfect early fall weather, the best time of year. We ate at our favorite seafood place and then gazed at the boats and enjoyed the sea lions.

Then back at our little house watching the sun set into the ocean across the street. 

This am I wished I were anywhere but here. I was not having a good attitude about cleaning up the quarter inch of construction dust. I have never been very good at projects. G gave me an ultimatum to straighten up, we went out to coffee at a friends new coffee place and lo and behold I got an attitude adjustment. We really did make a lot of progress. The kitchen is beautiful, all nice and shiny. We also went to the paint store to start dreaming about paint colors which was way fun. Decorating is great. It's just the DOING of it that I have a problem with. Anyone else? or all you all just happy to paint and scrape and clean to get the job done?

those boats look like a painting...and what a gorgeous sunset!
i've painted a lot of rooms (a real lot) and i don't always like the "doing" but can't stand to have things in limbo so i just buckle down and get the job done...color is a must even if it's subtle.
