Sharon, I can\'t imagine a scenario where I could have the AC off if it was 115 out!! I have always wanted a front porch. Your porch does sound HUGE! THAT was a lot of cleaning! I did have a small, covered porch added to the back of my house a few years ago.

Karen, if i remember right. you did label, paperwork and presentation but did not make this quilt? I would love to see a picture of it.

I worked until late last night and got the curtains hemmed and hung in 2 bedrooms. The freshly painted black wooden TV trays in place for nightstands, some of the \"new art\" hung in the bedrooms. The pink & black quilt still needs quilting, but I wanted a feel for how it will look.(Cringe at those purple shams but I wanted to check out the size). I have magenta pillow shams being delivered Tuesday. Both bedrooms will have some wall hangings made & hung eventually but this is probably as done as it will be before company Thursday. Family is coming for dinner. Ben\'s granddaughter Alina (15 YO) is visiting WA rigfht now, she is spending most of the summer with her aunts. She just finished the CA part of her summer.

The boxes in the black bookcase will be covered in coordinating fabric. It\'s easier and cheaper than trying to find the right size baskets. I am considering swapping out the small white nightstand for a larger black one. It might balance out the black bookcase better. My DIL prefers to unpack into bookcases so bookcases & boxes will remain empty to make it easier for them when they visit.

Not sure if the black nightstands will stay in the Pink & black room or be swapped out for skinny white nightstands. I\'ve made a conscious effort to keep the bedroom furniture & curtains black or white so it can be changed from one room to another. So far that is an idea that has worked well. I guess that is the one benefit of starting from scratch and painting a lot of used furniture! The only non-B/W headboard is that teal one that I made from an old door that was already teal. Since it went OK with the bedspread, I left it teal.

Shower & prepare Sunday school lesson & start all over again on the to-do list. Hopefully that small computer chair gets its makeover today!
