Our "old" bedroom. We spent the New Year's weekend re-doing it. There were 98 wall-papered stencils of moose and pine trees. Hideous? Yes, but not too hideous for us to leave them there for the first 2 years we have lived here. These stencils were pasted to a puke-colored paint that we seemed to overlook as well. Well - 12 hours later, we have a fresh look - on a shoestring budget of course. Thanks to Uncle Steve, we have a heated mattress pad. We painted the walls a historical blue color (Phillipsburg Blue according to Benjamin Moore), and we added new drapes. The old PINK verticals just didn't cut it (but again, we somehow managed to keep them there for 2 years). I'll post a photo of the "new" room tonight, just to keep you wondering all day how it turned out.
We also squeezed in two hikes with Jamocha, and I managed to get out on a snow/mud ride in the Elden trail system. The weekend concluded with a walk downtown, sushi dinner, a short meander through town square (where they were setting up for New Year's Eve), and eventually a walk home. Into the hot tub under a full moon, and asleep before midnight. THAT is what I call a great New Year's Eve. Happy New Year to all the Bozzels and our extended family.
