My plans get sabotoged.
Like this weekend. Started with big plans to clean up my beach house and get 2 properties that I rent out prepared for the season.
Trouble was I got a phone call just on Saturday..letting me know that my seasonal renter was backing out. So that changed my plans big time. This is just 3 weeks till the summer season begins !!
It kinda puts me in a jam.
I had to get busy with For Rent signs and pictures and setting up my advertising on
"our town rentals.com"
And contracts at the real estate office, new keys, blah, blah blah.
That shot my Sunday and most of my Monday!
Topped off with the internet not working down here at my shore house.... And there just ain't any over acheiving or over accomplishing here,
Overambitious we got. Unless I stay a day longer. Which I did.
And I am just wondering if any of you cyber peeps happen to know what is wrong with the male species?
I asked hubbo to help me bring the deck furniture back outside from its winter haven inside the house, and this is how he arranges it.
In a clump.
Talented huh?
Yeah. He's got it go-in on.
After all the cleaning, picture taking and uploading and discribing. I finally got that Rental cottage listed.
It's a little Victorian Cottage, about a block from the water in North Wildwood NJ
A small little cottage set back with a large front yard. It's tiny and fits about 4 people.
A block to the beach
When that was done I moved onto finishing up what I had planned for my personal cottage, which I posted about here. I still have a million things to do before the Memorial day start of our summer season.
My list for this weekend
#1. Finish painting the 2 T back chairs
#2. find a place for this vintage table
#3 I will be lugging my table up the stairs,
#4. That table will be getting a fresh coat of white too.
#5. Find a new spot for those chairs I am going to finish painting.
#6 Add more starfish to windows
1. Got those chairs finally done and gave them a place next to the hutch.
The Before.
The After
And with a cushion..They got a spot by the hutch. They match my kitchen chairs better now, and will be handy to pull into the kitchen for extra seating.
One additional fun thing I managed to squeeze in was junkin with my sis.
I found this adorable blue covered veggie dish .
After all my work and fun junking...
#2 Found a spot for the vintage table
#3 lugged up satirs
#4 Paint vintage table ( had to paint the undercarriage, I hadn't done that before, was being lazy :)
and a fresh top coat everywhere else)
Now for the fun part. The fluffing.
I noted last week that I wanted the room to look like this one below from Cottage Living magazine. Or was it Waterside Cottages?

I love this room and it looks a lot like my sunroom already, I just added the table and the boat.
I wanted a table I could use for games and a snack or lunch. The best part is I already had everything I needed in the house. I love shopping my own house. The table was from my dining area which I was replacing with bar stools.
So here is my sun room with my freshly painted vintage dining room table in it.

The games are tucked under the table in a painted suitcase
A place for Mojitos and Snacks
Some fluffiness for the couch
I love my old drop leaf table and I am glad I didn't give it away!
One Movie quote I am thinking about right now is the one from "Jaws"
"We're gonna need a bigger boat"
Don't ya think?

Doberman puppies will not only work for food, they will work for favourite toys.
ReplyDeleteReward the puppy with praise or a treat when he does walks along beside you without pulling.
No matter how guilty a dog may seem to act after you find
your favorite shoes destroyed, he is really just reacting
to your anger without understanding why he is in trouble. The crate is going to be the place where the dog will retreat to, to get away from the stress of
it all. Toy dog will enjoy shorter training time compare to watch dog.
