Hi strangers! I can’t believe it has been so long since I blogged. Already near the end of January. We had a good Christmas, ate a lot of food, spent time with family. Work has been pretty busy still, and a lot of recovery from the busy holiday season and needing to make new inventory.
I have decided that my word for 2020 is Focus. Sometimes I feel like I get pulled in way too many directions and I that can get me frantic feeling.
Anyway, I wanted to share this beautiful sunrise picture I took this morning:
The sky was golden. So pretty. I need to learn how to erase all those things in the picture so it is just sunrise and horizon.
We have decided to tackle a big home renovation project this year – the upstairs bath. We did a “lipstick” makeover on it with wallpaper removal and paint a few years ago, but we are wanting to really make the bathroom nice. We have some preliminary plans, which are scribbled out on this sheet 😀
There are some unknowns until we actually disassemble some things, like the sink area. The back wall in this bathroom was knocked out to expand it, so we have one wall that is drywall, but the rest are the concrete/cement walls. We need to find out where the piping runs so that hopefully, fingers uber crossed, that we can get at least a small clawfoot tub in the bathroom and convert the shower to a walk in. So much depends on what we find for drains and venting that is already there.
I have done some shopping for my feet lately. I have a new pair of sneaker type shoes.
These are from Sketchers and they have partnered with PetCo to work with adoptions for animals. Cute and they do good!
Those of you on Facebook saw my new boots:
Excuse the picture taken in the back of the store. I have wanted boots like this for a long time, but I need wide width shoes and finding boots that fit my feet and my calves is impossible. Boots the actually fit both would bunch up around the ankles and look terrible. Well, wouldn’t you know that when i was not even looking for boots – I found these on clearance for $8 ! What a deal and they fit. I’m a happy camper 🙂
We will be going on a much, much needed vacation very soon. Our first real trip in several years. I didn’t make my goal of 20 pounds, but I got about halfway to that. Christmas cookies happened 😀 It’s all good, though.
Those shoes – love, love, love!!! Can’t wait to follow along on the bathroom remodel. I would like to go from a plastic tub/shower enclosure to a tiled walk-in shower. Have fun on the vacay.
Nice to see you! I love those boots, so cute. And how fun to see another remodel at Casa Radiance, although I have to say that all I can see in the sketch are toilets and sinks so it’ll be a surprise, LOL.
I miss you not blogging but I so get living life instead of writing it. I hope your vacation is spectacular, weight schmeight!! Looking forward to the renovation blogs – something I admire about you so much.
So good to ‘hear’ from you! Always look forward to hearing about vacations! I second what Helen said – the bathroom remodel posts will be great to read – love to see the work that you do and hopefully find inspiration!
