Recent Sights Around Hibiscus House

Work in progress

Today I'll share a variety of pictures taken with the recent painting of the home.  These guys were very good sports allowing me to take many pictures. Join me as I share a day in the life of painters and homeowner.

Wendell and Earl



Lavaris





Wendell played football!





Wendell in his Dallas cap
He and Chuck had their rounds about their teams (light heartedly of course)
Chuck and his Steelers, Wendell and his Cowboys
Both of them looking at me like I've gone crazy with my new love of Tom Brady!

These guys have so much fun working together






Lavaris, Yazmeen, & Kendrick









Railings look great



I love the view even in the winter months



View from the porch with very old chairs from Ebenezer School of years gone by










Earl surprised me by painting one of the rockers
I love it!
Looks great!
Now I need to get to work painting the other two!




We're almost finished with the painting inside and out. I'm in the process of putting some things back where they were and weeding through other things.  I'm also thinking of a few new things I'd like to add.

The ideas are bouncing in and out of my brain.  I have high hopes.  Nothing complicated, simple ideas for pretty yet functional.

I'll update later with a few pieces that I've added.


Have a great weekend
I'll be back shortly with more picture posts.

    1. Thank you Diana! We are about 4 1/2 miles from a little town in one direction 5 miles from a little ghost of a town and around 13 miles from a larger city and in another direction 20 miles or so. The smaller towns don't have a lot small grocery store, dollar stores etc. I've learned that it is going to take 30 minutes or so to go where I need to go. I hope you're having a great weekend! xo Dolly

    1. Hey sweet friend! Thank you! You are so right. I've been tackling the put back and purging as I go but doing it at a slow pace. I think that might be the way to go so I don't burn out and get discouraged. Good to hear from you!
