I have been working like a banshee on a surprise while Dave's been gone. I repainted Elise's room. The walls and ceiling were an awful, faded teal, so I fixed all the holes, white-washed the ceiling, and painted the walls a pale purple. It took him 24 hrs to go into her room and see it. I love how it's turned out, though. I'm much happier in there; I'm hoping she is too. Next up is to hang our gingham purple shades. I think we'll do a yellow accent, so I'm hunting for a funky yellow table lamp to get started.

I have grand ambitions for denim-ish stripes in Jonathan's room. I'd love to finally stain the secretary's desk that has been calling to me from the basement for nearly two years now. And, some of our gardens are horrendous and need massive overhauls. All these projects should keep me busy while hubster is away.
