End of Summer - sigh. . .

Well, it's been a busy summer. I received a temporary promotion about the same time as I installed the kitchen faucet. Shortly after my temporary stint ended, I received a permanent promotion. Consequently, the amount of free time has drastically been reduced. But the summer has not been without it's projects.

The grass growing project went well. We didn't lose any topsoil thanks to the mesh/straw material we purchased at Lowes. I still have some work to do this fall to overseed some small bare areas.
I also finished off the dining room moulding project. It turned into more work than I was anticipating and it didn't help that after painting the walls high gloss, I painted the trim with flat. Grabbed the wrong can of paint and wound up finishing the repainting 15 minutes before company stopped by. Still want to install some crown moulding.

We also just painted my youngest's bedroom. Very girly pink. We're still trying to figure out what to put above the bed.
In addition, she repainted her desk with a slightly pink white. New desk hardware.
This swag light, which was a gift to my daughter from my sister, meant running new wiring through the attic.

More to follow. . .
