I Am In Love!

Today has been great. The weather was exceptionally great, too. And that is why Tony and I worked outside on—my writing cabin/guest house!

Tony sort of wanted to take the day off to rest, but he is so sweet he helped me haul sticks of lumber, chop wood using our chop saw and we just finished putting the floor down in the little cabin.

Not to brag, but to brag—the small cabin's wooden floor is totally awesome, because instead of spending money on new lumber we used repurposed wood taken from of my old, pink writing cabin, wood from our old big room, etc. and all of those good vibes are still there.

I also love the cabin's floor, because it does not look like your run-of-the-mill floors where it looks picture perfect, because we purposefully mixed up the patterns and the pieces of wood using different paint colors and stains, etc.

And I am proud to say that unlike the walls that we had to put up trim to hide so many of our mistakes, like jagged edges, crooked lines, etc.—this floor is everything that I had hoped it to be and much more.

Actually the floor is hard to describe how it looks, so tomorrow I will take pictures of it and show them to you, because right now I am too tired and Tony and I just decided to enjoy an early happy hour to celebrate today's accomplishments.

Tomorrow, I hope to work outside most of the day, inside the cabin—sanding some of the boards, cleaning the boards and then covering them in a few coats of matte finish, Varathane sealer to protect the wood.

Then in a few days I can finally start decorating it, even though we still need to insulate the ceiling and a few other things.

I am in love with my new writing cabin and it will be so much fun decorating it and that is about it for tonight.

Y'all have a great evening and keep on laughing!

Hi Fay! I cannot wait for you to see the writing cabin. We worked most of the day yesterday and it is so close to being finished that it is driving me crazy. Pictures will be coming soon.
