The Makeover Has Begun

It’s been a little less than a month since the better half and I moved into our first home and while we still have boxes to unpack and furniture to buy, we decided it was time to paint!

The living room/dining room and hallway will be receiving a coat or two (if needed) of Benjamin Moore’s Silver Fox. It’s a gray paint that changes dramatically as the lighting goes from natural sun to artificial lamp.

Here is a taste of what’s to come.

 

A Truly Unique Vase


Designer, Kris Lovett, has figured out a way to turn your finger print into a one-of-a kind 3D vase. Using a process called rapid-prototyping tech that “reads” your prints and converts them into a 3D object, Lovett has created the vase, “Embossed” and can create one for you as well.

We Closed!

Sorry for the slow week here on Columbia County Current but we had our closing yesterday and a lot of last minute details to handle on Tuesday. In any event, it is now official and the better half and I are the proud owners of 20% of a little house on two acres of land in Columbia County.
