G'day.
I'm am in some kind of Beach Cottage Bead Board Vortex,
leaving me with a most unaccustomed inability to say much today
you may or may not agree
that this stuff Rocks (it surely is Rocking Me baby)
that the vintage chair eye candy hits the note
that these mystery flowers are so up my alley
that I am living in some kinda tongue and grooved Beach Cottage vintage heaven
you may well not be surprised to learn
that I spent a while on that chair while all was quiet in BC Land
that I stood and stared, & walked back and forth
that I mopped the kitchen floor, so I could peer
that I made a special dinner so I could chop & gaze
but what I did not reveal yesterday, and herein lies the twist, is that
THERE WASN'T ENOUGH!
and so in all my walking, mopping, staring, sitting and chopping
…there is a dirty great bit of unfinished wall right back at me
and I, dear Beach Cottage devotees am having to wait for my next roll
how I'm getting it here…well that is the next part of this saga
and so I'll leave you with my unfinished, unpainted half-wall and I will continue in my Bead Board Vortex…
oh and tomorrow, guess who's stopping by at the Beach Cottage with a giveaway for us?…the wonderful Lisa Leonard
of course if you want to tell me what you think of my project I'll stick you in the hat right away

** just wait til I get started on the ceiling **
