Sunday Salon: Diningroom is finished!

 The Sunday Salon is hosted by Readerbuzz

 I was born into the military, both my parents were in, my entire life was spent on military bases around the world, I married into it, and I also raised a boy who grew up to be a military man, so first and foremost I would like to pay a small remembrance to the 13 servicemen and women who lost their lived this past week in Kabul and also the families left behind. It saddens me that these young men and women lost their lives at such a young age.

We finally finished our dining room. It actually went so much easier than most of the rooms we have done! I know I said I was unsure about the blue, it seemed too bright, but once everything was put back in I loved it.

When living in a 100-year-old house there is always the next project, so on to the Butlers pantry which is between the dining room and kitchen. We have ordered wallpaper for it and it will not arrive until September 9th so we have a bit of a breather before starting in on it, which is good because I am trying to get ready for a holiday open house that a friend is having, so in between walls drying I was able to get some candles made 

I will go in and smooth the tops and add the dressings of dried herbs and florals later this week, along with labeling. My kitchen does smell wonderful, a mix of fall and winter scents almost makes me forget it is 100 degrees outside!

I was able to get a few minutes of reading in ...

I was able to finish 56 Days by Catherine Ryan Howard on audio, I had loads of audio listening time with all the painting!

Before Pittsburg by Kasie Whitener

Murder at Mallowan Hall by Colleen Cambridge

Hopefully, this coming week is a bit less busy and I can get more reading in.

Drop your link in the comments so I can see what you got up to this past week. 

Have a great one bookie friends !!
