It's reached that stage where we discover that all those decisions - big and small - that we thought were going to bring our dreams to fruition have at times fallen short in reality.
Like the wall colour and the ceiling beams ...
When I first saw the paint on the walls I wanted to cry ... or scream. It looked so lemon and lemon is not a colour I would choose to live with. It was meant to be neutral and retiring. The painter had even assured me that it was a great choice as it would be neutral and anything would go with it. Hmmm. I wonder if another coat is going to make any difference?
Then there's the size of the room. We've been hoping that once the kitchen goes in and our furniture that it will look bigger than it does at present. If it doesn't, we're going to have to resort to opening the French doors and using our deck:
Which by the way, has proved to be a good decision. Today was Father's Day and even though the deck is not completed, we got a lot of use out of it. I even heard several comments to the effect that it was a good space.
However it does appear that with all our planning we failed to include one vital piece of equipment.
A see-saw.
Never mind. One was easily erected. Perhaps we'll remember that for next time. If there ever is a next time.

The porch is lovely, too, but loveliest of all are your granddaughters. Those teeter-totter shots are sure cute.
