Happy Birthday Osman!

Osman celebrated his birthday on the beach at Waikiki this year. It was warm, the food was good, the sun shone and not a work day in sight. You get the picture. And Im sure he will post about it later tonight too.

Meanwhile... I had a plan of my own.

My husband deserves only the very best. And recently I had decided that this office was definitely not the best!





Twelve days seemed like enough time to get the job done...



Meet Robbin. Skills and energy for every occasion! But no-one was happier to see that carpet go than me.



Of course, all that "stuff" had to go somewhere while we worked. Besides, I had no time to watch TV anyway.



Bye bye baseboards.


New paint and baseboards... it was already feeling better!


Windows painted, crown molding up, ceiling painted, light fixture updated, closet re-organized.


The new ergonomic chair had arrived, was assembled... and I speak from experience when I say its COMFY!


Let's just say the furniture assembly was "trying"!


Making progress... I begin to put all that "stuff" back in there.


Curtains are up, speakers work again...


Lighting, check. Original art, check. We are good to go, with a day to spare.

Sshhh! Don't tell Osman... It's a surprise and he will be home in a half hour.
(Stay tuned for the look on his face...)
