Me Musing .

Well Thanksgiving
came and went and we had a great little gathering. The best part
of that week was that Eb, his nephew and his two sons worked to
get our chimney and woodstove up and running!
It's
a great little stove that looks like
it was just made for the cottage!
First
fire . . .
We have sure
been enjoying it as there is nothing like wood heat for warmth.
We have now spent 3 nights here! It is always amazing how each house
and its orientation can be so different. Before we were 'in the
trees' and now 'in the city' . . . yet very quiet during the day
AND at night!
I
just LOVE
this little Cottage . . . and yesterday got into the festive mood,
so did a little arrangement for the front porch . . .
I
also got the idea that since the kitchen is very 'retro' looking
with the colours and chrome drawer and cabinet pulls, that I needed
a more 'retro' look in the breakfast room. As you recall, I had
the little table there . . . sort of a cozy little 'table for two'
feel . . . but I decided I wanted a little bigger table so four
could be comfortable for dinner.
Well,
in sorting out things in the garage I found an old table with great
chrome legs that was in pretty rough condition. It really needed
a make-over and new life so I covered the original yellow edge with
some of the copper spray paint . . .
The
formica top was crumbling away, so we scraped off as much as would
come apart from the plywood underneath . . .
I
have a few ideas for a new top for it, but don't have quite enough
of the materials, so will have to think more on that. I moved the
area rug from underneath, put a table cloth on for now, made cushions
for two of the chairs I'll use that go with the covers I already
had for the other two chairs. It turned out looking really nice
and you can't tell that the table top is in 'repair' mode . . .
unfortunately as I was taking a photo of the new table arrangement,
the camera slipped out of my hand, hit the chair and fell to the
floor, hitting right on the telephoto lens . . . so now the lens
won't go in or out and it won't let me access the photos I took,
or take new ones!
So
. . . you'll just have to imagine all this
until I can order a new camera!
Until
soon,
Che'usa
