Trees/Revision/Baseboards

[j_cheney]

I'm not going to get a job as a professional tree decorator. You can see the wires.

The ornaments on this tree are mostly ones collected through years of family ornament exchanges. (I have a lot of cousins, and it would bankrupt all the aunts and uncles to hand out that many gifts, so we did ornaments instead.)


And this is the white tree, in which I pretend it's actually winter. Since they are predicting an ice storm for us this week-end, it may actually get here by Christmas. One never knows in this part of the country....

Anyway, I'm going to try to revise today between errands and beginning the most recent baseboard replacement project. I have the new baseboards painted, now I just need to remove the old, cut the new and slap them in. And then grout, but I'm going to save that until the end. (The old baseboards were not primed before painting, so they peel excessively.) Now, I could take the old ones up, sand them down, and repaint them....but really! Pre-primed ones are about $5-6 per 8 feet, and this way I don't have to fret about breaking one when I take it up...

Off to make breakfast burritos!

I like the white tree very much, but then again I'm very traditional about my Christmas tree colors.

Yes, I think that's why I like it, too. Very calming...

Pretty trees. Thanks for making it feel like Christmas.

Well, according to Gary England, it's gonna look one whole heck of a lot more like Chrsitmas this week-end...so you'll have lots of inspiration.

"You can see the wires."

Not in the pictures!

If you zoom in on them, you do...

So, don't zoom!

Heh. Another reminder that it's time to go on a christmas tree hunt. I've got the ornaments but have yet to find the perfect tree. These are really beautiful, btw. I like the white tree very much indeed.

Thanks! Good luck on the tree hunt!
