Slow internet, plus no electricity, plus a very low battery equals: a very short blog post! I took this photo while we were in Kenya. There were construction projects everywhere, each surrounded by these corrugated tin fences and I thought it was hilarious! I couldn't capture the entire thing from a moving taxi with my camera, but it says "It doesn't look like much now, but wait til it's painted!"
That's how we feel about our new home. There is not one square corner. Emily's room is a full foot shorter on one end than the other. We are working on plumbing and wiring and window latches and light fixtures. Every single room was yellow, and most had water damage on the walls.
But, I am very please to have my bedroom almost completely finished! We've painted, and hung curtains. I just need to scrub the door and scrape up my paint splatters. This room is bigger than our old one so I think I will try to find a pot and get a plant.
The color is supposed to be grey with a hint of blue, but over the yellow paint it dried kind of a green-grey but I like it.
I love my crooked house!
I'm getting the yellow warning that my battery is about to die. Yikes, I still have so much to talk about! It will have to wait. I did write an article for the MAF blog that will be posted next week so I'll let y'all know when that's up.
Crooked houses just have more character, it seems. You inherited Esther's curtains! They look so nice in your room.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tally! I loved those curtains when they were in Esther's house so when she put them up for sale I was happy to purchase them. They are a constant reminder of Esther and our friendship.
