Happy Monday, everyone. \u00a0Now and then we like to write a kind of behind the scenes blog post here on The 2 Seasons<\/em>. \u00a0You can read the last one here<\/a>. \u00a0We are back with another one today.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Cruise\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you know, I am visiting Jordan in Syracuse where we are experiencing the sound of water.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it’s not this kind of water.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Painted<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

It’s the slow drip of a leaky roof.\u00a0 Now, to add salt to this wound, it’s the new roof that Jordan wrote about here<\/a>.\u00a0 That’s right.\u00a0 Their bungalow’s new roof that is less than two years old has sprung several leaks.\u00a0 And because of the ice dam (yes, there is such a thing) and several feet of snow, it can’t be fixed till the big thaw – whenever that is.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"House<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Right now this living room, which we had planned to paint this week, doesn’t look like this.\u00a0 The furniture is all pulled to the center of the room and plastic bins sitting around the perimeter are catching the drip, drip, drips of the leaking roof.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Ceiling<\/p>\n

\"Ceiling<\/p>\n

\"Ceiling<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ceiling<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

It ain’t<\/em> pretty, folks, but it’s life, and it’s our lives.\u00a0 We want to keep it real for you all.\u00a0 There is definitely dry wall work, which means lots of dry wall dust, in their future.\u00a0 What a mess that will make. \u00a0But we always refer to one of our favorite quotes when dealing with things like this – “It’s a first world problem.”<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"Bathroom<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Now, as long as we are on the topic of realness, the last time you saw their full bath, it looked like this when their new floor project stalled<\/a>.\u00a0 We have good news to report on this topic.\u00a0 They realized that this DIY project had gotten beyond their skill set, and they hired a pro.\u00a0 He worked steadily last week, and the new tile will go down tomorrow.\u00a0 Then as a bonus to the whole original plan, he will be hanging beadboard.\u00a0 The bathroom should be finished and ready for a reveal this week.\u00a0 I have my fingers crossed that it will be before I leave on Thursday.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"GUEST<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I brought the yellow and white shower curtain that we used in our guest bath before I made this one<\/a> along with a fluffy yellow rug. \u00a0She will hang it and spread the rug once the work is finished.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Tile\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The combo of yellow with the gray walls (Sherwin Williams 6002) and\u00a0these basket weave <\/a>\u00a0tiles will be really cute.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

This all being said, we haven’t really let it dampen our spirits (pun intended) during my visit.\u00a0 And I haven’t even mentioned the mouse that refuses to go down.\u00a0 Yikes!!! \u00a0Any helpful tidbits on eliminating a stubborn mouse are welcome in our comments section….Please…..<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"food\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Still, we have eaten out, worked out, shopped, gone to the movies, laughed, played with Gracie, and gone antiquing.\u00a0 We are devoting today to blog projects and writing.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Spa<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

We are looking forward to our annual spa day<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Thanks so much for stopping in.\u00a0 We will see you come back tomorrow.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
