Recording A Journey.......

As well as keeping this blog, I have been keeping a record of my home renovation journey in sketchbooks.
In them are notes and sketches outlining plans and ideas, then I record with photographs what I actually ended up doing with each project - they don't always end up as I initially planned, because things can change along the way.
I'm also keeping a record of what I spend, quotes given by contractors etc.
Now I'm into the fifth year, I have filled one book and I'm a good way into the second...….I wonder how many I'll end up filling before this project is finished?

With the change in seasons, here is the view as I'm enjoying it at the moment in all its autumn glory! If you can't afford a view of the ocean or the mountains, at least you can create your own small, private view that is every bit as wonderful!

Hall Table

I've been on the lookout for a small narrow hall table to go in my small entrance hall......seems like they are rare as hen's teeth! I eventually found one advertised in the local online marketplace for very few dollars. Well, it's cheap furniture - poorly made from cheap materials, but is exactly the size I want and approaching the clean, simple style I'm looking for, so it will do until I find or make something better. I think I'll paint the front door this week.........it will be blue at last!

The sculpture is one I made a few years ago; it is called "Demeter"
