Now That I've Got....

the Altered Art Attic blog up and running I've got time to include some daily random things on my first home!


This is one of the things The Peddler has been busy with. He custom built this garage door for a neighbor. They are completely redoing their house and saw these doors at Costco. The Peddler built them and installed for way less than half the price. They are doing the staining themselves. I think they're turning out really nice!

These two have been here most of the day. They are coming to the feeder that is closer to the house and letting me get really close now. They have such a unique chirp that I almost always know when they arrive. Or maybe they're letting me know that they want more food!

And last but not least, can I just say that in my next life I want to be Buck. Of course Buck with The Peddler and I as his owners. I couldn't find him around noon today and here he is taking a nap on my unmade bed. Such a tough life Mr. Buck!

The weather here this week has been amazing! 84 degrees today. I even put my whitey white legs out in some sun for a little bit. I don't think they've seen the sun for at least 5 years! So, if you are in the neighborhood you better put on some sunglasses lest you be blinded! LOL

Something New Is On The Horizon

Watch for it here.

We can't wait to get this new endeavor underway and we are working very hard on this. Let us know what you think!

What once was blue...

Is now green and built in. Just need to finish the trim and the paint. A few more touches and the kitchen should be done. One room down, lots more to go!

I almost forgot...

Along with remodeling comes swapping out furniture and this beauty definitely doesn't go with this house! Is anyone interested in a gorgeous 50's red Formica table with chrome legs? It has 5 chairs (1 has an issue) and a leaf. Except for the chair this is one of the nicest sets I have seen in a long time! The price is $350

Friday Photos

This is Mr. Merlin the hawk that has been hanging out and terrorizing my bird feeder. Luckily I think the Love Birds are too big for him. So far I have seen him only get one tiny bird. It was so sad, but I know the whole "circle of life" thing.

This sweet Love Bird visited for a long time this morning. I think he is getting more used to me and lets me come closer now!

This is what has been keeping me so busy! The more remodeling The Peddler does, the more painting I am doing. And trust me, I wasn't smiling the next day. Who knew painting involved so many dormant muscles!

This was this mornings estate sale find and it fit perfectly into what was our old, boring pantry. Of course, this means more painting, but I love it!

Look at the old wallpaper we found under many coats of paint when we took the old baseboards off. What year do you think it is Jennifer? She is my inhouse wallpaper professional.

This has become a new space that I have taken over. I love it because I can look right into the backyard through the new window The Peddler put in. This room is so nice and bright now!

And this is what I see when I look out of that window! The patio furniture was another estate sale find and it was just what we were looking for. It even has a swing that didn't show up in the picture.
Our weather is beautiful here. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend!
