The foyer is now officially finished. Here are a couple of shots of it.

As a reminder, here is what I started with.

Oh yeah, this is sweet. Marilyn bought this for Emily’s second birthday and I put it together today. We are going to have some fun with this baby. I’m giddy.
It even has one of those CHING-CHING bells on the handlebars. Man, that thing is LOUD.

Another in a seemingly endless series of home-related posts.
Stonewall has got to go.

There are some people who come over and love the little wood-burning stove and 1970’s stone wall it is jutting out of. I don’t. It doesn’t fit with the rest of the house, I don’t get much heat or enjoyment [...]

I would like to submit the idea of noncontinous repetition into the lexicon of home decorating. It is an idea I use in the decoration of my entire home. The repetition part helps to tie-in many of the different rooms, giving the whole thing a sort of thematic feel without actually having a [...]

I just fixed up a wall that I had mangled through the injudicous use of picture hanging accoutrement. Once of the biggest problems I have always had with fixing a large chunk of drywall is the texture is never right. You end up with a very smooth piece of wall adjoining a slightly [...]

I have a horrible habit of babbling inchorently after I get off work. I particularly noticed this last night when I talked to my friend Chaun. I started get stuck on words and stuff so bad that I started thinking about how stupid I sounded. Of course, that made me stop and [...]

Work has been tough this week, so the blogging has been light. I have a ton of things to talk about, just no energy to put them into coherence.
Like an idiot, I volunteered to go in tomorrow. What a moron.
