Finally Finished!!!!

It took all weekend, at least it was beautiful, and 35 cans of paint, but I finished the screened porch and the deck.

This is Key Lime ~ we decided to use it as an accent color and because I used all of Home Depots white spray paint.  I also painted a white table key lime.  LOVE IT!.

It seems like I have worked on the outside areas forever, but it is only the end of May.  Just so you know, the blue cushions came from Lowe's and the pretty pillows came from......Amy's favorite place to shop ~ TJ Maxx.  The 35 cans of spray paint came from Home Depot. 



This sign is in our neighborhood and tells where our street name actually came from.
 

And, yes, I do have some green paint on my hands.

My next place to work is the upstairs.  I went to work on my room and decided to move the sofa and put the new cobalt quilts on with the shams.  I opened the first box, perfect.  I opened the second box - whoops.  Instead of a cobalt quilt and shams it is turquoise.  Not good.  So I ordered a second cobalt quilt from Overstock (where the other two came from).

So I will wait to finish the sofa.  But I will keep emptying boxes - I have some in the guest rooms and I want to get those rooms all fixed up, since we MAY have company! 

On the mom front:  a nice guy from Assembly Services is here to put Mom's new painting desk together.  Hopefully he has better luck that Amy and I had with the first nightmare of a desk.

Mom just told me that she hopes that I "find all her stuff that is boxed upstairs" ????? I asked her what stuff?  Her paints, is what she finally came up with. 

I am doing her laundry and when I emptied her laundry basket, there at the bottom was her  lasix pill.  She really hates to take it because "it makes her have to have to go to the bathroom all the time" ~ if she would just take it regularly as prescribed, then it would level out. 

And, in closing, here is our regular route in Durham:




The orange lines take us everywhere.
