...we needed to add an astragal (An astragal is a moulding profile composed of a half-round surface surrounded by two flat planes (fillets). An astragal is sometimes referred to as a miniature torus. It can be an architectural element used at the top or base of a column, but is also employed as a framing device on furniture and woodwork. The word "astragal" comes from the Greek for "ankle-joint"...An astragal is commonly used to seal between a pair of doors. The astragal closes the clearance gap created by bevels on one or both mating doors, and helps deaden sound.)...

...so the Man shaved a sliver of wood off of one side of our double bathroom doors...
...and then we brought it into our painting room...aka...the living room...
...and added the astragal...
...we hung the big bathroom artwork...and the little white spots are where I spackled over the screws attaching it to the wall...
...and then I painted those to match the painting...and they disappeared...
....and now back to the past...I'm just uploading these photos in date order...so they probably appear pretty random...but it's also fun for me to look back at all we accomplished before we even moved in...
...we made a pattern for the mantle for the fireplace...
...and the Man cut those angles...
...and then we cleared away the grass along the side of the driveway...and planted a row of lavender plants...
...and topped the landscape cloth with pea gravel...
...hopefully the lavender will thrive and the weeds won't...
...we had a few little plants leftover so we put them into a big pot...
...I remember this was an exciting day...our microwave/convection oven arrived...I know you've already seen it...
...so we cleared off the corner of the counter where it will sit...
...and it's still there and I still love it...
...we relocated and refurbished this light that was in the dining room (which is now a den)...
...I gave it a scrub...
...and painted it with a hammered bronze spray paint...
...and we hung it in the foyer...
...it goes better here than in the new 'den'...
...we added some pretty glass baubles to the rather long pull chains for the ceiling fan in the big room...
...they're so pretty...
...we put together the new dining room/nook/kitchen chairs...
...we also removed the kitchen/dining room light...
...and painted it silver...and we also painted one of the boob lights with the hammered bronze for the little curved area of the foyer...
...and hung those back up...
...where they came from...
...and put the new blue and white (theme here...haha) tablecloth on the now round table...
~Have a lovely day!
By the time I see all this stuff in person, it will be old news! Lovely of course! Love, K
