Note to Juliette: T...Whew, the Reno is almost done! Note to Juliette: That vacuum is such a bone of contention between Brandon and me. He's like you--loves vacuuming. He does it every day! It is borderline obsessive! He wanted me to tell you that our vacuum is some super deluxe version designed by NASA! But actually, it's just an inexpensive model by Sears! But I agree, the color is way fun. They had orange ones too.baystatebrumbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00157539477153261305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132951832556720515.post-28555195585861302212010-09-26T15:31:00.008-04:002010-09-26T15:31:00.008-04:00It's going to be beautiful, and you're goi...It's going to be beautiful, and you're going to love it when it's done!

Your house is adorable - before AND after! It is so much lighter and brighter now. How great is that?!? The Stable Hay yellow is gorgeous. <br />I lived in a log house that was built in 1787 when I met Brian. I had the original deeds that looked like the Declaration of Independence. There was little heat or hot water. Brian's house was "newer" (1874) and he had already restored it so I sold my house. I had had enough horse-hair plaster and lath to last an eternity. <br />So glad you can return to sweet Brumby soon.<br />Just an aside - weird question - what kind of vacuum do you have. I adore vacuuming and I am a canister girl. I love the color of yours. Does it work well?!? I know you are cracking up laughing at me and this crazy vacuum question. It looks like those retro-looking Electo-Groom!!! I so want one of those because of the color and font on the side of the vacuum. There is NO way Pie or Sovey would allow such a thing, but I do want one anyway!juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132951832556720515.post-3174777426359407932010-09-23T01:16:48.688-04:002010-09-23T01:16:48.688-04:00It is looking so much better! Isn't it amazing...It is looking so much better! Isn't it amazing how paint and refinished floors make so much difference? I can't believe your house is 200 yrs old! Wow!<br />I want to remodel my kitchen and paint the entire inside of my house. I just can't get motivated to do it! Well the painting part anyways!Paint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095673661149903754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132951832556720515.post-88070383637811882202010-09-22T20:41:08.376-04:002010-09-22T20:41:08.376-04:00I've lived in a few old houses too - I had one...I've lived in a few old houses too - I had one built in 1816 near Boston and one built in 1871 near Chicago (old for this area), so I can sympathize! We now live in a 1999 development house, although a nice one, but it just doesn't have that same character - not to mention the same quality of construction, although I admit the wind doesn't come through the walls the way it did in our old (poorly insulated) houses!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
