Tessie has tried it out in several of the rooms. She keeps ripping it out of my hands and dragging it to different locations.
At the rate that I am going, I should have it finished by tomorrow. When I do, I will block it and show you how I finish the edges.
Meanwhile, I thought that you might like to look at a couple of the areas of the house to check out the scale.
The room that Tessie is standing in with the rug is the bathroom on the third floor. It is not too big, but half of the time Tessie only needs to wash her dirty feet anyway. She says that's the only part of her that touches dirt regularly.......
After taking the extra wall out of the second floor, she is going to have one humongous bedroom. Looking at this photo, I think that she is going to have the opposite problem from the one that Zar had with the bed. It looks pretty small in here. Maybe a larger canopy is in order here....One that she can do her jumping under without hitting the top of her head. Now I am wondering if I shouldn't put the partition back to cut it up some.
Decisions, decisions, decisions....Last is the roof top and tower. The tower is going to be her potting shed. I think that is going to be ample space for the purpose and from the front of the house, nobody will know it's there. She already hired Zar to be her gardener.....Not really.....She just told him that she would give him all of the carrots he could eat for watering her plants when she didn't have time to do it. I hope he likes carrots....She is away a lot.
OK.....So I am stalling. I promise that I will be back to work on it tomorrow. I am stalling because I am having trouble getting Tessie to decide on colors. Surprisingly, the first words out of her mouth when I asked her about it was....."No PUCE!" Tastes change I guess.....For those of you that haven't been with Tessie from the beginning, her first favorite color was puce. Everything she had was puce at the start....Evidently, no longer. Maybe I should take her along to buy paint tomorrow......Or maybe not....I just heard her tell Zar that her latest favorite is aubergine because it is a "pretty word". Do you think that she knows that is just a very, very, very dark relative of puce?
Nope. She is staying home. I am going to buy paint without her.
See you tomorrow with new paint in hand. Hopefully it won't be aubergine.

"Aubergine" oh no Casey its too dark, but knowing Tessie, what Tessie wants, Tessie gets, one way or another. Have fun finding paint Casey..x
Goodness you have certainly zipped along with the mat..... looking great!!!!
Good luck with the paint buying that always stumps me!
Always asking myself "Now what colour!"
Not to worry. I finally told Tessie that Aubergine was the same shade as Egg Plant....Her reaction? "Ugh!I hate Egg Plants! They are foul!" I don't think that any pun was intended......
