How did you spend your Memorial Day weekend? We spent ours mostly at home in remote ends of the house. I spent much of the time finishing up Baby Girl's bedroom, and Self-Reliant Man spent most of the time in the garage, at the opposite far end of the house from Baby Girl's bedroom. Both children helped us well with our respective projects. (as an aside, Little Son is gaining some valuable first hand experience in engine rebuilding, as you will see.)
I will show you the results from both locations, and then you can vote for which venue is most attractive.
The voting choices are:
Choice A: Baby Girl's bedroom
Choice B: the garage.
Feel free to click on any photo to view a larger version so as to assist you with your vote.
Area #1, Baby Girl's Bedroom
These pictures have been taken from the four corners of the room. All of the new, lovely RTA furniture has been finished, and some of the old pieces are still in the room. This is definitely the cheeriest room of the house, now, but I know, I am not supposed to influence your vote.
these photos..
are pretty self-explanatory..
and do not require..
captions.
And now, Area #51, The Garage
This is an exclusive sneak peak into the inner sanctum, the holy of holies, the place where angels fear to tread. And now, for the first time in the blogosphere, I show you...
... the inside of our garage!!!
Now don't forget, Self-Reliant Man has been working hard here since November rebuilding the engine of our vintage 1948 Ford 8N tractor. Despite the impression that you will gain from a cursory glance of these photos, this project is nearing its completion! (but hold the hallelujah chorus just yet). And now, without much ado, the photos please.
The first overwhelming impression as you enter the room. The bright red object at left is the engine, just about completely reassembled from scratch minus a few steps.
Alas, but it doth pain my heart to behold a tractor shorn. (isn't that Shakespeare or something?)
The engine has been freshly spray painted its original fire engine red.
Isn't she lovely?
The "small" wheels kind of dwarf our Sears mower, do they not?
And now a final parting view. Be still my trembling heart. The sight kind of makes you want to run as far and as fast as your legs will carry you, does it not? But I know, I am not supposed to influence your vote.
Vote well. Vote wisely. Vote often. Vote now!

Baby Girl's room is so pretty and girly! And the garage is kind of scary...but good for your hubby for taking it on and teaching your son!
LOL. Actually, your garage looks better than mine. Mine is filled with not only the typical junk, but also a huge corner of stuff that was supposed to be a for a garage sale that hasn't happened, along with leftover building supplies from jobs my husband has done, a refigerator that no longer runs..oh, the list goes on and on. It's on MY to do list for HIM this summer. : )
Baby Girl's room is so cute. We are in the midst of redoing our younger girls' room right now. Fun and exciting....of course, a clean garage would be, too!
