Y'all, it's been a little busy 'round these parts ...
..and I am finally getting around to working on 's Behind the Curtain Challenge - this is a fascinating and wonderful idea!!! I sat down the other night and grabbed some shots for y'all.
Here's me and the puppers on the couch in the living area downstairs. I've never seen a dog with such an AVERSION to the phone camera. He was all snuggled up right next to me, and jumped away when I tried to selfie with him. This is what he looks like when he's pouting - what a goober!
This is a panorama of what I see when I look around (minus the bathroom on the left, who cares!). There's the workstation office area on the left, the kitchen behind the wall with the wood stove/fireplace thing, my clothes drying racks, one of the bookcases, the art & seed starting center, and then the dining table which has also been converted to a gardening area. I'll break the space down more in the photos below.
This is the left side of the room. I'll hook the laptop up to the telly here & watch "Grace & Frankie" sometimes, or I'll sit and do some work. These four paintings are mine, and you can see the AeroGardens glowing on the left hand side of the photo. I've still got some cd's that I haven't unpacked yet, but I'm still not sure where to put them.
This is the straight ahead sort of view. I'd much rather hang my clothes up than send them thru the dryer, so they usually last a bit longer, yay! The painting on the bookshelf (of mostly neuroscience & nonfiction books) was made by a friend of mine. I had loved it for years & had the opportunity to buy it, and it brings me joy every time my eyes fall on it.
This is the right side of the room. There's a big glass topped table in front of some french doors that I've got seeds & sprouts on. Things are moving along slowly, but they're moving! There's art stuff in the corner by the green & orange & blue paintings (also mine) and once the plant stuff gets moved outside, I'll probably start painting again on a consistent basis. I can't force the art out of me, and I really don't feel like doing anything until spring usually. So this is a smart usage of the space for the time being. You can kind of see a book peeking out from behind the table - there's a small shelf/case back there with art books in it. Mostly about Salvador Dali, cause he's my favourite!
I also spend some time on Steemit upstairs with the other stinker. The walls are super uber boring up there, but Soxita & I will sit and snuggle in the rocking chair! She wasn't super excited about the camera, either ... obviously!
Also, full disclosure - the spaces aren't usually this bright & there are so many lights on in those first few photos. Usually I've just got a lamp on right next to the couch!!
Here are the rules:
-Take a picture of yourself working on Steemit, or what you see while you work on Steemit.
-Tag 5 Steemians in your post.
-Use the #behindthecurtain
Oh yeah, I need to tag some people! If y'all have already done this, I apologize, I haven't had the chance to look at much the past few days. I'm hitting up ,
