Hi Everyone:

It is yet another beauooooooootiful summer day. The first day of summer - sigh... I love life in the summer. \:\)

My brain is slowly incorporating home improvement thoughts... I want the whole first floor and master bedroom to have a "finished look." I need to start coordinating the contractors.

There is one thing that well is really almost irresponsibly expensive - but it is something I have wanted since I first saw his work - 10 years ago... I would like to have the foyer faux painted... We will see... It is vaulted - so no way can I even do the easy part myself. I don't like heights. Maybe with the economy - his prices have dropped...

I started to make my house look like a home and the D disrupted things and well, and then there were financially tough times - and then I started my own firm. I finally feel like relaxed enough and in the mood to start working on making my house a beauoooooootiful home.

I am ready to move with the flooring - but they (whoever they are) say you should start at the top and work your way down - which means I need to think about paint colors...

I want do some of the painting myself b/c it is something that I enjoy. We will see... I need to get estimates and create a budget.

Life is good. It is so nice to be worrying about such "ordinary and mundane" things. And I LOVE summer!

take care,
AG
