“This house was completed in 1903 taking 5 years to build. The boards are of yellow poplar; they were sawn and dried on site. The doors, windows, etc. were bought in Waynesville.

A halltree with attached chair sat on the left of this hall. Hiram and Elizabeth Caldwell had 5 children; 1 girl and 4 boys [1 boy died young].”

Hello! I've been kind of vanished, and I'm not confident I'm fully back yet, but I'm feeling noticeably less frazzled, and I'm ready to start catching up on the backlog of what I've been doing! To start with, I went mad with my new homeowner power and decided to paint a room. And then I decided to paint it a WILD color. And then I decided I also wanted to learn how to panel a wall. All by myself, with a hard deadline before my aunt gifted me a pile of old furniture that was going to take the room from empty to full. It was very cool and fun, but oh my god

Also, most of the paint work quality in my home is uhhhhh indifferent, so i had some fun soeed bumps like having to cut an old mirror off the back of my door and finding at least two color strata of it being painted into place (even after filling and sanding and priming and painting, i can still see the shadow, but that's a problem for future me to continue addressing). And I picked a REALLY dark green. I knew that taking a dark color back to white would need a lot of coats, but I.... did not consider that going from white to almost black would be equally bad, even with toned primer.

If I was doing this again, I think I would have attached the paneling after that first coat. But I think I was still underestimating how many coats it would take to darken bright white material, even with sanding for better grip. And the caulking almost broke me! My secret strategy to picking up new skills is always to underestimate how complicated they are, then power through on pride and stubbornness, but this tested me, haha

But I really love it! It's been done for a few weeks, so I've been dragging furniture into the room and steeling myself to drill holes for the curtain rod, and the Horrors have faded and I'm considering painting another guest room. I adore this color (salamander) to pieces, and I still have another gallon, but I'm not sure I want to commit to all this again. But.... the effect is soooooo restful, and it looks SO luxe, especially with the colored outlets and wall register. It's not going to be in my next paint project, but it may come up again!

Bluebell Carpet Kent's Ancient Woodland by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Carpets of native English bluebells in ancient woodlands are a very special and very British wildlife spectacle. While they grow in other parts of Western Europe bluebells reach their highest densities in Britain and Ireland. It is estimated that 25% - 50% of all common bluebells can be found in the British Isles.Bluebells flourish in ancient woodland.

Ever hate it when you start to get brain rot of a character you love except there's 3 seconds of screentime for them, literally one piece of official art ; and when you ship them with another character that would have a silly / cute dynamic with them there's 6 fanfics of them together on ao3 with an added up amount of words of 13k and when looking around the Internet for art of this character, 1/3 of each art piece is with another character you dislike the ship of and, it mainly being created because the creator drew them together a small amount of times in some sketchs so you have to rant about them to your friends who say 'L' and 'insert ship better' causing me to rave like a lunatic to friends not even online making my rants look like akin to an insane persons ramblings in their diary which showcase their downfall and insanity.

hmm thinking about fallen hero sidestep + against the kitchen floor by will wood ”lord knows i owed you more than im pretty sure i could give anybody” “i cant pin down what normal people want from foreign objects” “it just don’t come natural to me to think you’d want me for me” “i just haven’t learned how to be human like you are yet” “im still lonely that morbid sort that even company cant cure me. and the more you reassure me the less i trust” “im not a real person just the shit you can’t make up” “im just as exposed if i take off my clothes when we make the closet thing to love im capable off” “APOLOGISING FOR MY LIFE AND EVER ENTERING YOURS I KNOW YOU GOT SCARS OF YOUR OWN BUT HIDE MY KNIVES BEFORE YOU GO I’LL EITHER DIE OR LIVE ALONE”

i did not start cleaning like i was supposed to but i did fix my roommate's broken wardrobe and measure it all out for the shelves we want so it counts for something right?

So what I thought was just a thick patch of dust on my dresser that I'd somehow missed cleaning it off the other week was actually... scuff marks from the guy's moving it out of their way and then back while doing the baseboards.

Pretty bad scuff marks too.

I've rubbed in the repair stain that worked so nicely on my floors and it looks fine now though I'll know for sure if the stain took in the morning when it's dried, since i had to use filler on a couple of small (but deep) scratches on the top that were made from use over time - those wouldn't take the stain but the filler did. These weren't deep, however, so I'm not worried. And, since it was at the bottom of the dresser, I buffed a few more scratches on the floor that I noticed while I had the stained rag out.

i really need to just go through and mop all the floors now to get the settling dust off them. But I swear every time I go into the guest room there's a wasp in there still. Today, go in there, wasp. I lured it into the guest bathroom by accident (I was aiming for the hallway light, but the bathroom lights were apparently more attractive). Anyway. Guess I'll be saving that room for last.
