There’s nothing like company coming for Easter dinner to inspire…
The crown is finished; 
the pocket door runs smoothly on its track and actually locks; 
the built-in display has trim and real shelves and serving dishes; 
art is hung on the painted walls; 
and our black and white photo wall is done, mostly.
Our shoulders are light, the weather is warmer, and it’s time to think now of outside projects.
But just in case the gentle reader thinks we now live in a perfect-ly beautiful house,
we open the lovely pocket door to this:
Yeah, paintbrushes still compete with toothbrushes in the bathroom sink.
the circle of life 
I love pocket doors! Everything looks like it’s coming along nicely and your hard work is paying off. Congrats! :)

It will make more room in the bathroom, but it was a pain to put in. We basically had to take down the wall and move the heater vent to get it done. But thank you, we’re happy with it too. And we reused the old door!

Been there, done that…and after 30 years, this old house needs help again!

Yes, it’s been forty years since anything has been done on this little cottage…But there’s nothing like an old house! They just don’t build them right anymore…Thanks for visiting.

Wow! What a lovely comment — an inspiration. That made me smile! Who knew getting paintbrushes and toothbrushes mixed up could be inspirational? :-)
I just couldn’t let everyone think it ALL looked beautiful. Truth in blogging, or something like that…

So nice to hear from you again! Thank you. We can finally sit in the living room with company and not apologize for the paint cans in the middle of the floor. :-)

LOL, your ending’s a reality check and made me laugh. You’re so right, nothing like having your feet to the fire to get a project to the finish line. So many awesome details that make your house a ‘home’. I noticed the chairs at the dining table, I like that they aren’t all the same. I really fancy how you hung your collection of family photo’s too. Your trims are gorgeous and better done than a pro (he said he was anyways).

Oh thank you. And I have to say that I don’t even think the bathroom is next in line. Oh well and Mr. H. C. does do it for a living. Poor guy. He never has a break from it!
