The painting is done

On Friday I finished the last wall in the living room (Woo Hoo). So now it is all about getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner. On Saturday we went to Habitat for Humanity's store to see if we could find some chairs and maybe a love seat and get rid of the one that was left in the trailer. Well they still had three of the aluminium chairs we had seen the last time we had been there and we found a love seat that we liked. In January I will sand down the chairs and paint them and we have a slipcover back in NJ that will fit the love seat so we are all set, oh and when H4H delivered the love seat and chairs they took the old one away. Then we went off for a day out of shopping and reverse shopping. We stopped at a material store and Barbara found some material to make curtains, that is right we have given up on finding curtains and Barbara is going to make them. We also found a second set of sheets so Barbara can use them in the curtains, she is making the curtains lined so they look nice from inside and out. We have been having a great time doing thrift store shopping and finding bargains. So far we have found a table, 3 chairs, a love seat, wine glasses, desert glasses, and much more. Today I went for another 13 mile bike ride and when I got back Barbara had started working on the curtains. She is doing it all by hand, we did not bring the sewing machine, and with Stem-a-Seam. She got the one for the window done, see album.
