Have you ever heard of musical chairs? How about musical rooms? Just a couple of days ago we did a switcharoosy with a few rooms in our home which will lead to a more expedient and logical layout and functioning. We currently have three bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen, plus two offices, one for me and one for my husband.
We recently added a full size bathroom off of Bill's office, making my current office space a bit tight. So we decided to transform his office into a master bedroom suite, move his office equipment into my current office, and move my office into our current bedroom, which has always been a bit small anyway.
So far, I'm quite pleased with the change, although it will take a little getting used to. It took a bit of doing getting enough strip plugs in the right spots for my computer and other office equipment that needs plugging in. I'm glad to have a room to myself, which is something I've always wanted; a bit more privacy, more quiet for writing and studying. I have an extra chair in the room for any family visitors (especially my youngest who is home schooled.)
I'm trying to decide what kind of bath accessories to get. I've got a faucet of brushed nickel, but I noticed that metal accessories easily scratch. So I'm looking for something that will still work with brushed nickel, but not be primarily made of metal. I've got three different stores I'm researching and comparing. There are so many choices out there!
On a different note, our street is still being worked on, but is in the last stages of development, with areas being prepared for sod on the fronts of the properties (including ours), plus this week they've done the street paint. We now have a double yellow line from one end to the other, plus white lines for the side streets. Signs also need to be erected. The new sidewalks accented with Braille pads are being used already. It's so exciting to see how it has all turned out. It is such a major improvement for the city itself, considering how much our street is used (as a major truck route, being a state road.)
I keep telling my family that when this street job is complete, I will be having a par--tay! A celebration! I am just itching for the convenience of parking in my own driveway again. My car, which has been parked under a tree on a side street, has been the victim of a slow but regular, active, sticky dance of pollen which coats its pretty silver exterior, calling for weekly washes in the automatic car wash that is currently in need of repair! My car, I'm sure, will be grateful to return to its favorite spot, pollen free.
By the way, Happy Autumn!
