Back to Civilization and What I've been Up To

Well, I'm back to civilization.  The past 4 days working on the new house were exhausting and exciting, yet peaceful.  I actually enjoyed the quiet that comes with no television, radio, or internet.

The big project that I've been working on is almost complete, but I can't wait to show you what I've been up to...

So here it is... a look at our Board and Batten so far...

Another coat (or two) of white paint and a few touch ups left to go!
I'll be working on a more in depth post about it all.
But first, I'm off to catch up on emails and my favourite blogs... :)


Thanks for stopping by.

    Andrea-

    I am with you on the peace and quiet of no tv or radio. {I haven't watched television in weeks! Funny how much time it frees up!}

    Your B & B looks stunning. It really brightens up the space.

    Thanks for linking to Creative Juice. Hope to see you back again this week...
