Terrazzo is a pain and I can understand why people just put carpet down over it. I have scrubbed it, sanded it, roughed it up and still have issues with the mortar not sticking as well as it should. For the most part I think it will be okay. I have already determined that if a strong hurricane comes along and I get water inside again I am having someone else come to redo the tile/painting. This is my last time!
I finally have all of the dining/living room and most of the hallway painted. I still have to pick a color for the bedroom and the main bathroom but after those two are done painting is officially over and I can move on to the fun stuff, like decorating, which I will admit I am no good at. I have no sense of style, plus I am a minimalist when it comes to displaying things (I hate cleaning, so the less I have to clean the better!). I would like to have something on at least one wall and a lamp that looks a bit stylish. Maybe a couple pillows, but that would be it. I want it to look nice, but not bare.
Birding during the Summer here sucks, so I haven't gotten any new pics to share with you :(. Starting around mid-September is when we start seeing an uptick in activity and that's when I start heading out. So hang in there, bird pics will be on the way soon :).
