snowing...and burr, it's cold


The day has held surprises with the beginning flurries of the morning, continuing all day long and accumulation now building on roads, autos, and roof tops in the neighborhood. And tomorrow is the first day back to work after the holidays....oh well, Murphy's law, I guess...lol! It is so surprising though, this neck of the woods rarely sees much snow, so when it comes, you just have to stop what your doing if you want to enjoy the experience, because it just doesn't last long. I expect it to stop any minute, let's see by morning if I'm still surprised.


Spent part of the lazy times of this day, planning out a few projects. An armoire for my son, and some built in benches for my breakfast nook. Both projects are going to be done on a dime, so I hope I can be really creative and smart. The armoire will be beach inspired, so I'm thinking rope, seashells, marbles, trim, ect...on the front of an inexpesive storage piece from Home Depot, and maybe some splashes of paint....still thinking.


The breakfast nook seemed very easy, until I found ideas from books around my home, now I'm thinking it might need more than just a bench...maybe some shelving up by the windows....again, still thinking....it's a very small nook, don't want to make it seem smaller...so careful planning.
I really loved the cubby wall idea I found from country living...sooo cool!
