happenings

several things were accomplished yesterday:

1. holden's fancy pants bookshelves were installed on two walls
2. 2" picture frame molding was applied to the walls in the library
3. our new copper bevolo gas lanterns were installed flanking our front door
4. the perfect shade of orange paint for the library was sampled and confirmed
5. holden started chewing on a computer charger that was plugged in and therefore a live wire

here is what i learned from said happenings:

1. children's books make for some of the most beautiful art while still being educational and relatively inexpensive
2. picture frame molding is somewhat cheap and makes a room look like a million bucks
3. gas lanterns can completely change the look/"visual pedigree" of your house
4. a good orange paint color is NOT easy to find (our library is a patchwork quilt of every shade between coral and mandarin orange...insert: "poor jim" who hates any change whatsoever)
5. parenting has completely changed now that my baby is mobile. childproofing is a must since everything dangerous makes holden's mouth literally start to water.

photos below (except no photo of holden chewing on the live wire as i thought it more pertinent to remove said wire than stop to take a photo).
