It's like being on one of those TV shows where you walk into your house after a few days and it has been miraculously transformed! We watch a lot of those shows, my husband PVR's divine design and a handful of others that I usually have to sit through... SO anyways I go away for the weekend to Meldrum Bay to see the Featherstones and my husband while I am away takes it upon himself (with the help of Todd, Perry, Sue & Scott) and paints the downstairs of our house. Now I am not expecting anything like this and I am thinking it will be years before anything gets done as ripping out lath & plaster, insulating and dry walling is not in the budget, nor do we have the time. Did I mention really old ugly wall paper??? It is amazing what a few cans of paint can do!!!
Anyway here are the pictures.. and yes I love my hubby very much. Just when you feel worn down, underloved and appreciated he make a grand and thoughtful gesture like this!!! and.... we are blessed with truly wonderful friends :)

How how wonderful! I love that color red - it's so warm and yummy. Very nice paired with the scenery outside too. :) Your hubby is awesome to have done all of that with your friends.
Maria,
I'm envious of your fabulous house! (and yes, I'm another islander who reads your blog--You may have many you are unaware of!).
We bought our place (thanks to the wonderful assistance of your father-in-law, Hugh McLaughlin) because the land fit our needs. The house, frankly is butt-ugly and doesn't fit the landscape at all, although once we moved into it, the interior seemed friendlier with our belongings strewn about.
At any rate, I love the character of old houses and yours has it in spades. It is very nice of you to share the stamp of Sean & Maria you are putting upon it.
Keep up the good work.
You do have the "cutest blog on the block".
Lynne
