		<title>&#8220;creepy basement&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On WordPress, one can see which search terms people have used to get to one&#8217;s site. Today a search term that brought someone to my site was &#8220;creepy basement&#8221; &#8211;

		<title>&#8220;Grace Flows Down&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought this GORGEOUS painting titled &#8220;Grace Falls Down&#8221; at the Mattoon Arts Festival this year. It&#8217;s by artist Catherine Gibbs of Westfield, MA.
I saw it on her web site when she signed up for the festival and thought it was lovely then, but seeing it in person just floored me. What a wonderful painting.

		<title>Garden Tour, Sept. 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some years we have a garden tour as part of our arts festival, and 2009 was one of those years. So I tidied up my garden, filled up the fountain, and let the sun do its thing. Here are a couple of photos I&#8217;m planning to look at over the winter to remind me of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=361&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>King Cricket</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had this big cricket hanging out in my garden for a few days, but I haven&#8217;t seen him for a while. I call him King Cricket because he&#8217;s so big. He has these really soulful eyes, and I just love to look at him. He has stripey legs, but I think he may be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=357&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Getting ready for the festival&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have a fantastic arts and crafts festival on our street every year &#8212; it&#8217;s always the weekend after Labor Day. There is a magical moment on the street when all the cars are gone, and the street is swept clean, and no one is around&#8230;. and then the exhibitors start setting up. But here [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=350&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Darkening things up nicely</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As one of the final touches for the stripey hallway, I looked high and low (okay, only on the Internet) for black and white polka dot clip-on chandelier shades. To no avail. The closest I found were perforated black and white shades made by Kathy Ireland and sold at LampsPlus. They were $9.99 a piece, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=345&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My kitchen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My kitchen is really nice. My house had been a boarding house for single men since at least the 1930s. Each room had its own gas stove and sink. Hence, no need for a kitchen. In the room that has become my lovely kitchen, there was a barely-used all-in-one sink-stove-fridge dealie (now in the butler&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=334&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Powder room that roars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a good photographer, so please forgive the photos. I see so many photos of people&#8217;s homes on their own blogs that look tremendously crisp and amazing and professional. And then I try to do that at home and I get washed out colors from the flash, or a totally dark room with no [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=327&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Stripey hallway &#8212; almost done!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are some views of the latest odds and ends I&#8217;ve done in the fabulous striped hallway. Got an INCREDIBLE rich teal blue silk velvet remnant at Osgood&#8217;s for $24.00 (!!!!), and have temporarily hung it with temporary clips on a rod with glass finials (Big Lots &#8212; $15.00). Also got a cool drape pulling [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=302&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Dining room &#8212; Winter 2006</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I decided to re-do my dining room over the Christmas break of 2006. During the work, I came down with a terrible cold, but soldiered on and completed the papering and painting in about a week. The room was all white (as was everything). There had been a door on the wall opposite the fireplace [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=townhouseturnaround.wordpress.com&blog=5705149&post=289&subd=townhouseturnaround&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
