A Perfect Weekend to Lay a New Floor at the Cottage

it pretty much rained the entire weekend

For years I’ve wanted to put down a nice light coloured vinyl floor in the cottage. When the flooring went on sale I quickly snatched it up and started to put it down by myself a couple of weeks ago. I bought a very small amount to see how easily it would come together and decided that with a little bit of help it was a doable project. So, last week after coming back from the cottage I returned to the store and bought 10 more boxes.

After two solid days of work we managed to lay down all the flooring we had. It was hard work but very rewarding. I’m still recuperating two days later.

The other good thing that happened this weekend is that we purged a lot of items that were on an old handmade open cupboard that was meant to be temporary (kept it for over 30 years) and we cleaned out the old storage bins under the counters. We made room in the antique oak cupboard and filled it with some of the dishes from the old cupboard. The remaining items went into the new storage boxes for now. We took the old shelf outside. It looks so much better.

Monochrome Madness – Nature’s Textures Highlighted

thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting Monochrome Madness https://leannecole.com.au/monochrome-madness-phillip-island-in-monochrome/

Black and white photography seems to emphasize the textures on flowers and plant materials and the sharp contrast between black and white pulls out details to the forefront.
