Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Wow, that is some fancy inlay.

It's in both rooms on the first floor. No inlay upstairs. But yeah, I love it. One corner is a little rough and someday I'll probably want to replace some boards, but I'm going to preserve/replicate it when the time comes.

Because books.
Dremel Rotary Tool for the curved bits, sara? I want one so much, even though it scares me a little. I loved my Black and DeckerMouse Sander, too, but then it broke.

Overkill for the kind of sanding I'm doing. If I were using it to take off paint, sure. But I'm just smoothing the surface, as stain will cover the variations in color. And probably would require more fine motor skills than I have.

My TOH obsession totally paid off tonight. Learned things I can use! Including options that don't involve drilling into the foundation if I ever wanted to put in a full bath in the basement (I have a flush, so existing sewer connection down there, but to put in a shower or tub...)
eta: it must be spring, weather notwithstanding. I've got more energy for this sort of thing than I've had since October.

Get the dremel, Sara! You can use it for something else in the future!
Jenny Shimizu. Hey, she's good friends with an old buddy of mine. I've lost touch with her these past few years but, um, way back when, they were buds. Says she's very down to earth.
she's so hot. I knew exactly who you were talking about. Mmm. She was even on an ep of tip model once!!

I may have to eventually to pick the paint out of nailheads. But right now, I'm just buying what I need NEXT. I was at Ace the other night and they asked me if I needed filler after hearing I was refinishing the banister. "I'm not at that stage yet. I will, but not yet."
I love that the neighborhood Ace is in a homey old post office building, and they are genuinely interested in your projects, to the point of giving advice and product suggestions, even if they don't carry them.

Is anyone watching the Grey's Anatomy musical episode tonight? So far it's weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's weird, but I like it. But I like musicals.
