Katy Murtaugh’s Next Big Adventure!

I love my house! When I first came for site visit, there was a ton of extra stuff in here and it was arranged differently, and it seemed awfully small and dark to me and I wasn’t too thrilled with it. Now I’ve got it all clean and organized and re-arranged and my green blanket from Katy & Claire on the couch. I have my mom to thank for a sublimely comfortable pillow and sweet, pretty things all around to make it nice and homey! I have my kitchen set up in one corner of the living room, and my water filter and a bucket set up to be a pseudo-sink, which has been handy. My “coffee table” is a green metal trunk, which is also my main food storage. My walls currently are decorated with 2 fabric panels that I bought here, dyed in a pattern from the Forest region of Guinea, and then a bunch of pages of Pulaar. My outstanding project is to convert some of the beautiful paper my mom has sent into things for the walls! I also need to get 2 chairs or stools that I can use to sit outside. I also have an attached bathroom with a shower, a sink and a regular toilet — all amazing and highly unusual! I’ve got pictures, which I’ll try to get uploaded. (I’ve identified part of my problem, files = too big, but I learned from my traveling experience that small-file pictures will only frustrate me later on, when I can’t make something bigger out of them…tough for uploading though…)

Anyone who’s interested should come and see for yourself!!
