More chaos this week

 The last part of this past week, I tackled our bedroom and the half-bathroom.  The dresser is getting a coat of black and the closet doors will be white.  See that little purple table in the background - I was SO weary of painting that by the time I got to it, I decided to forget it and give it away. 

In order to paint the drawers, I took off the wooden knobs to be painted separately.  All except this one.  The screw (a flat-head.....which should be abolished forever and we only use philips head screws) would NOT budge.  I guess it must have been super-glued into the knob???  I tried everything (see above) and finally had to saw the knob into pieces.

The dogs have NOT liked this week's projects.  Trissy just paces around, following me wherever I go.  Happily, she does love to be tied up outside (weird, isn't it?) where she can hang in her dog house (her new favorite thing) and run on the tie-out trolly.  The chaos has seemed to draw these two closer together....(reminiscent of Eunice and Mr. Larabee in What's Up Doc). 

I find it strange that the SMALLEST room in the house, our half-bathroom, was the most time-intensive to paint.



Now, Alfred, on the other hand, has taken all this upheaval in stride.
