Lazy last days

Summer is almost over. Monday morning I have to be at school at 8am to greet eager first years arriving for their "Intro to College." I have spent a lot of the last week prepping for classes, but also doing a lot of last-ditch summer stuff. We went to the county fair, spent lots of time in the garden, and devoured yet another Maisie Dobbs novel (I cannot over-recommend this series).

So, in lieu of a real blog post, I am going to post some long-overdue pictures of the big project of the fall and winter: the master bedroom. Rhonda and I gutted this room down to the studs, and Rhonda, with much help from the Mellingers, drywalled the whole room. It is now a beautiful, calming, bat-free space with new walls (the accent color is "dill pickle"), floors and lighting. Keep in mind that this room was paneled with blue shag carpet. Needless to say, we are very proud of this space.
