ScrapHappy Saturday - Chaos

Its been crazy around here.


We started looking into having our townhouses painted a couple of years ago, but someone (my dear husband) talked everyone into second guessing the decision and it all fell apart.   Fast forward though and everyone is on board.  There are four units, and trying to get everyone in agreement on colors and placement has been a logistical challenge.  Everyone is so busy being flexible and friendly that nobody wants to decide.   I've been having a blast with the Sherwin William color visualizer tool and running in for paint chips.   The painter is coming this morning to take a look and then give us a start date.   
While all of that is going on, the pavers that we ordered months ago have arrived!  They started two days ago and have already made a lot of progress.  It looked like they ran out of fill late yesterday, but are back already this morning.  It will be nice to have some outside space on the ground level for chairs and maybe a fire pit.   
Despite all the upheaval though, the sunrise was a peaceful as ever.  A flock of gulls happened to fly by just as I was getting ready to take my daily photo.  I worked on my Blackford Beauty blocks yesterday, the chevrons are done, I just need to make a few more four patches.   The main project has been log cabin blocks. I am halfway to the 256 that I will need.  
I also did some touchup on the barn quilt yesterday and started the process of getting it sealed.   This is going to go on the shed at the cabin which is still scheduled to close at the end of the month.  We had a bit of a logjam over the septic, but it all seems to be back on track now.

LOVE your barn quilt, Angela!! That's going to be perfect for the shed at the cabin. Glad to hear things seem to be back on track for the closing at the end of the month!

I didn’t realize you were also landlords! That’s a big job! The paint will be gorgeous! And a paver patio! Awesome! BTW, I love your sunrise photos! Such a lovely view!

Figuring out paint colors is always so much *fun!* Good to get that done, and the papers, too. I enjoy seeing your sunrise everyday on Insta - such a beautiful view! Have a wonderful weekend!

I don't think I could ever live in a condo/townhouse type situation where everyone has to agree on the same color for the outside and a communal outside area - I am too used to having my own space and if I don't want to visit with people but be outside I would find that uncomfortable to have others outside in my space :) I'm a country gal

Glad you were able to come to a decision. How fun to play with the paint program to see what it would look like when finished.

Nice upgrades to the townhouses, hope you post a picture after the paint and pavers are complete.
