Guuuuuys. Holy s**t, what a week. There wasnt a spare minute in the last few days to let you know whats been going on around here other than some brief social media updates, and thats because Sarah (you know, my DIY internet bestie and occasional nemesisfrom The Ugly Duckling House) came to stay at the farm for a few days and force me to finish a goddamn project already help me tile my upstairs tub surround.
WHAT.
I know, you thought I forgot about that bathroom and youre right. I did. And I intended to keep on forgetting about it until it got reallyeffingcold here again and I wanted to take a bath for the first time in fouryears, and then maybe I would have started tiling again. But Sarah got here Tuesday night and as I was giving her the grand tour of the house she stopped in the upstairs bathroom and was like, OH HELL NO, we are finishing this s**t before I leave.
And I was like can I take a nap first?
Its been a really long and emotionally draining month, what with the film crew here (and putting on a big dinner for family and friends), and then trying pull together financing for making a big land purchase (before losing it at auction), on top of all the other required life activities like doing my job well, and making sure the animals are fed.
Oh, and I got this crazy idea that before Sarah showed up I should try to make the guest room in my house look a little less well. A little less like this
Nothing says WELCOME TO THE FARM YOURE ABOUT TO GET AXE MURDERED like a guest room straight outta the Bates Motel.
So, before Sarah got here, I painted, and bought some things (like this quilt and this bed) and
Okay, its better. But this room still looks a little ridiculous because 1.) The bed ended up being A LOT lower to the ground than I anticipated, and 2.) I couldnt find any appropriately-sized side tables. Plus the room needs curtains and some s**t on the walls (not actual s**t yeah, Im looking atyou, chickens) and I need to do something with this mess
BUT the nice thing about having another DIYer who lives in a perpetually under-construction house http://seanddowling.tumblr.com/
