Busy weekend

Even though my weekend was split (worked Saturday), a lot got done - well, some things got done, meaning that there's less to be done later!

On Friday, new garage door openers were installed -  YAY - making it much easier for Bryan and me to get in and out of the house.  His car goes in the garage (mine doesn't) but it's a shorter distance from my car to the garage than from my house to the front door so it's a benefit to me too!  While moving some things for the installer, I was able to get rid of a couple of more things too - and rearrange some others.  Now the fence will be fixed on Monday (I hope) and that's two things crossed off my list.

Sunday I had enough of looking at the poor dog and cat abused chair and ottoman in the family room.  There were two recliners (one smaller than the other) in the room over the garage that were in much better shape.  So today I went up there, moved and rearranged some things to make it easier to get to the recliner and dragged it downstairs.  Only a minor struggle to get it through the door!  :)  (Of course Quincy went into the front of the house behind closed doors, Freyja went into her crate and I moved Cleo's gate back so that she couldn't "help"!)  Once it was downstairs, I carried the ottoman up (not bad) and dragged the chair to the door.  Once the cushions were off, the chair was turned on its side, I was able to drag it, step by step upstairs.  I must say that I'm glad there aren't more stairs to the room over the garage! :)

My problem is that the recliner is blue.  Not a major problem now, since the sofa is also blue (with a great leaf pattern that I really love) but I'm thinking of having slipcovers make for it that wouldn't be blue.  The walls are green (a British khaki green) that surprisingly the leaves in the blue sofa fabric goes VERY well with!  The chairs were yellow - but I'd like the one remaining downstairs to be slip covered - maybe a pattern that would combine blue and green?  I have pillows for the slip covered sofa that are green, gold and rust - very colorful down here!

Anyway that's for next year - this year's money is needed for doors (and the reupholstered living room chairs!).  Next Friday, the bathroom will be fixed - I have to get the vanity this week (and hope that it's still available!) SIGH!
