Hello All!
Sometimes we must celebrate the smaller wins, right?
Like this lovely crocheted blanket. A handmade throw to toss around and a nice blanket for the edge of the bed. Found on EBay. We liked the colors and the graphic nature of it.
My daughter is a collector of comic books, avengers posters, Star Wars memorabilia, etc. She plans to plaster the rooms with posters and stack comic books on rows of shelving, etc. The challenge will be to create a cohesive, curated look. At least for some decent ORC final photos before it goes the ways of a teenager.
By the way, the vendor below is a great source for posters and old comic books.
You get the idea, right?
Action figures and other collectibles… 
And of course, don’t forget to check out the talented ORC designers!
See you all next week!
XOXO,
Suzanne

Hello My Lovelies,
Well, we are deep into Week 4 of the
Things are getting pretty real. There is no more flim-flamming around. We have been hammering and hacking away at old hardwood cabinetry and layered linoleum with ever-mounting piles of debris and sharp nails. I can say after two days’ of solid work we are all pretty wiped out.
We have made some major strides, but I am beginning to wonder if we will ever be done with the walls.
And, we changed our paint color for the last time. 0
BENJAMIN MOORE – SILVERY BLUE
You have to tape a decent size paint sample (which BM provides) on the wall – in different places, at different times of the day before you settle on the right color. You really need that bedroom color to be a color you love, you know?
FLOORING:
This is what we found under 3 layers of laminate flooring. Very cool, asbestos-ridden 1940’s vintage flooring that we cannot salvage 🙁
We needed to be masked while pulling up all the debris.
One of my favorite places to shop is a non-profit, salvaged building materials resource, called
THE REBUILDING CENTER
Over the years we have found some great finds. This latest find was brand new wood veneer flooring in a beautiful hickory color. I wanted to buy the whole lot and re-floor the entire upstairs, but my husband reeled me in; one project at a time.
I border on manic when I am at this place. So many great materials. I want to get new lighting for the living room, pavers for the backyard, recycled METRO paint to freshen up our stairs.
FOCUS, Suz, FOCUS
Today’s task was debris removal. We’ve got a big old pile that will go to the dump soon enough.
WE FOUND A DOOR!
We found this beautiful door with the same 5 panels we have on all the doors upstairs. What teenager doesn’t need a door! I counted this has a huge score.
IKEA FINDS
We found this awesome chair called the TOBIAS CHAIR in the clearance section, half off. And that peg board behind it was another find from THE REBUILDING CENTER.
We are interested in this Duvet Cover
AKKERFIBBLA
And we are narrowing in on this GADBJERG rug:

Until next week, my friends!
BEST,
SUZANNE
