Updates: The Home Department

Published by at 4:35 am under Country Life

Something about July seems to inspire me to paint.

Last year’s paint-a-palooza included the side of the house, as well as the bathroom doors, the front door and window, and my desk area. Not to mention the hall floor, which Rob changed from electric lime green to bearable grey.

This year, Mark replaced the rotten board on the side of the house, so it was time to paint. I’d been meaning to paint over the weird red and green parts ever since I moved in, anyway.

The kitties thoroughly enjoyed the painting – at least, the drop cloth part:

Roscoe in particular liked to nap up there. I think he was sorry when the cloth went away. Audrey was happy in the plastic one on the back porch:

It looks pretty good now that it’s all done:

The house has come a long way from when I first moved in almost two years ago:

    Wow! Spiffy!

    What is it about cats and working surfaces, anyway? It cracks me up.

    I just *love* the look of your house. (Cato, look away…) Our next cat will definitely be a black cat; they’re just so cute.

    The house looks great Suzy, great improvement I would say, and the cats, well they like to think that they add to the decor and help out, in their own way that is.

    Thanks, everyone!

    I am surprised that black animals are always the last adopted at shelters (and why I got the boys 2 for the price of 1). So Mike, if/when you get another cat, getting a black one is a great idea. Pets to Mr. Cato, the Distinguished Gentleman!

    Wow, that’s a huge difference! Well done! And yes to adopting black cats, they are awesome and sadly overlooked in shelters! And they go with everything. 🙂
