We're heading out to Kidron tonight to see Pierce Pettis at the KidronFolk Music Festival. I'm very excited and can't wait to meet some new people! I plan to take some invitations to our open house/jam session so that we can hand them out to any musicians we might meet.
We've spent today sanding and finishing the kitchen cabinets. I hope to post a pic later! They look much nicer, and we distressed them just a bit more than we had before. We have an 8' island in the center of the kitchen with a maple butcherblock top, and we hope to get that finished tomorrow, painted with a coat of buttermilk milkpaint, and then lexington green milkpaint, sand, distress, hand-rub, then finish. We should be able to get it done tomorrow. It will be so awesome to finish before our family gathering.
I called to have the piano tuned, and there's hope that it should be tuned within the next two weeks. Bohemian was going to try to do it, but with all of the work he has to do to finish the house before the gathering, I said it would be best to leave it to someone else.
We put the hardware on all of the french doors. It was so awesome to open the french doors off of the schoolroom onto the side porch. It opened the whole room up SOOO much! I hope to hange a hook on the side porch for our three budgies to enjoy the weather when it's warm, yet still be able to hear them "talk" to each other from inside.
There's a parrot looking for a new home on FreeCycle. I submitted a request, and I really hope they choose us. What a wonderful thing it would be to find a healthy parrot for a pet!
Off to get ready for the festival!
