Sometimes maintenance projects are only exciting when you’re finished, and can step back and enjoy the results. This weekend’s project involved updating the hand rails on the stairs with fresh paint that matches the front door. In a previous post, Curb Appeal, I featured the front door with the color Iron Ore from Sherwin-Williams.

Instead I’m decorating Christmas in plaid with stockings, pillows, plates, napkins, ribbons and a bunting.
Last weekend, I was supposed to be doing laundry and cleaning house while the husband was working in the yard.
