Busy, busy

  Oh, there is so much going on in that old house!  The old master bedroom has been completely redone. New paint, new wallpaper, floor sanded and varnished.  The bed was raised up a bit for comfort sake and all the bedding is new.  The "yo-yo" quilt is quite vintage, as they say, and really gives the room a splash of color and a nice bit of coziness. 
  The bathroom is still not finished but it is getting much closer and all the walls are now up.  Just a bit more wallpapering is needed in the hall and it will be ready to decorate.  Perhaps a small table and some flowers?  Or a corner shelf?  Viv is undecided at the moment.  So many choices!!
  Another twin bed has been redone and lengthened a bit.  All new snuggy flannel sheets and blankets as well as a newly arrived guest.  This old cat has been skulking around the house the last few days and while Viv isn't overly fond of felines, she doesn't have the heart to turn him out.  So the creature shall stay and become part of the Lilac Hill family.  He shall be called Sneaks for obvious reasons.
  You may wonder why all the beds are being made ready suddenly.  Vivian has gotten word that a few family members will soon arrive to assist with the renovation.  Hopefully the bathroom will be completed by the time they arrive!!
