Isn’t she lovely? Isn’t she wonderful? sing it with me
I am absolutely in love with my new blog!!!! My blog is a girl, BTW, and her name is Grace. And Grace just got a brand new look. She got her hair colored and her nails done and a brand new dress from Anthropologie. And the cutest Coach purse you’ve ever seen. So while Lyndsay was making my ‘Grace’ most beautiful and lovely, I was painting the cabinetry in the laundry room. I sanded it (with my very own electric mouse sander) and then painted two coats of black paint…and then sanded it again. I love distressed cabinets. I will finish it with something, but I’m not sure what yet. I also painted the hardware silver and have plans for vanilla ice-cream colored walls and yellow toile window mistreatments.
And while I painted and made the best beef enchiladas ever (they will get their own post soon) the teens were out of school again, so they horsed around…..
while the little ones played in the very slight amount of snow there was…..
and Caiti cleaned out her closet (pics to come)……and took pictures of my ongoing
project. So while Lyndsay did her job most fantastically……..and finished……..here I stand, on the washer painting the cabinets while the washer goes through the spin cycle. At least I have an excuse for it not being perfect.
Now, I need your help. It has been my lifelong dream (about 3 months really) to have three columns on my blog. I have coveted 3 column blogs like crazy. I have dreamed about 3 columns and have nearly lost my very own little blog trying to achieve 3 columns. Grace has always apologized to me for being two columns. Now, I have 3 columns and there’s a little problem. I also want the post column (where the main body of the post and pics are) to be larger. They call it ‘stretch’ in blog lingo. I can’t have stretch and 3 columns. Apparenly having your cake and eating too is not for blog world. Grace can either keep the new dress from Anthropologie or she can keep the Coach purse. But not both. So what I’m gonna need you to do is go visit BrownEyedFox and see ‘stretch’ and then come back and let’s chat. 3 columns? Or stretch?
