Setting the lab back up this week

written by Laurie September 27, 2015

BR
The floors in the cottage have their new finish, and the lab now has a new coat of paint in the same color as my bedroom (a soft gray green that I have loved). My furniture has been out in the garage for a week, and I’ve been staying at my parents’ house. Tomorrow everything will be moved back into the house. It was a big job to move all my stuff and I don’t plan to ever do it again, but I think it was worthwhile. The floor finish had failed in a number of places, but it looks really nice now.

The picture above is my bedroom (no furniture) with my lettuce pot garden outside the door. The photo below is the lab, also empty. It will be full again tomorrow and hopefully back in action by the end of the week! πŸ™‚

Looks great!
Any remodeling scares me so admire people who dare to do anything in places where they live.

Thanks! I wouldn’t want to tackle any projects bigger than this.

I stuffed my air mattress into my backpack. I’m on my way. I’ll be there at 5 pm tonight. πŸ˜‰

Lol! It’s a peaceful spot. Your place looks awesome to me too (except a bit cold in winter)! πŸ™‚

Thank you, Nancy! That’s so sweet of you to say. I’m really glad I had a chance to meet you too! It’s been fun to stay connected via FB as well.

Temporarily moving IS a time consuming ordeal, but sometimes a necessary process to achieve beautiful results like your bedroom & lab. πŸ™‚ Since this is about perfume I couldn’t help but asking if your gray-green paint was called “oakmoss green” ? lol

Hi Don,
Lol, that would make sense! πŸ™‚ Actually, it’s called Comfort Gray even though it’s more green than gray, but they got the “comfort” right! πŸ™‚ The oaks outside the windows do have tons of oakmoss though! I’m taking this opportunity to reorganize the ingredients and redo the inventory sheets that help me find where all the bottles reside. It’s almost done. i think I’ll be back to batching by this Friday. It’s so nice to get things reorganized!
