Warm Weather Approaching

We had a wonderful day this week where temperatures soared into the 70s and sent my spirits soaring as well. It actually made me think that one day, soon, it will be warm enough to work on the house again.

I think I might pull out the caustic orange stuff and work on the kitchen floor some more this weekend, or maybe even (don't hold your breath) sand the bedroom floor. I'd like to move back into my bedroom in the spring, and possibly even buy a bed.

Last week I went building-surplus-store hopping with my parents, sister and husband, and adorable niece L. We finished the day off at Habitat for the Humanities where I found the perfect lamp for the hallway. It's a ceramic cylinder sconce with a small tile pattern on it. The patern matches the living room wall, and will look perfect against the pink paint I'm planning to use there.
