We had some air leaks near the baseboards at the front of the house &#8211; in our master bedroom and we ended up pulling off all the baseboards and repairing cracked mortar and doing a very good job of sealing any drafty areas that we found.  I ended up using some venetian plaster on the walls of our bedroom and now the walls have a marbled mirror like tone to them in shades of green.  It&#8217;s lovely.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, this caused us to end up getting new curtains and to start looking at comforter sets that would look nice with the new room decor.  We settled on a subtle floral pattern with the base colour being a very pale yellow toned background that just looks amazing with the wall and sheer curtains we selected.  The room has a very romantic, modern feel to it now and it&#8217;s warmer in the winter too.<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>Also, as some of you might know we occasionally take in boarders &#8211; students from other Countries that are just here for a very short stay to learn English. Well, the room we put them in has a single bed. The room is very nice but I have my old teen bedding on the bed, the ones my mom actually made to match the style of my bedroom when I myself was a teenage.  It&#8217;s nice, but I&#8217;m thinking of getting a warmer set of bedding for the room since many of our boarders come from warmer countries. Actually the first boarder we had brought a beat up looking electric blanket and I really didn&#8217;t like him using that in our house.  I&#8217;m always afraid of fires and since his electric blanket looked like it was 20 plus years old I figured it was more of a hazard than anything.  So maybe getting a warm comforter in a style that goes with the room decor might be in order.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>You can see my brain never stops.  I leave gardening in November and start focusing on my house- room by room.  I hope we&#8217;re done renovating and decorating at some point in the next few years.<\/p>\n<div class=\"912745ff53504cd4aef8ff3ef7b9aa95\" data-index=\"9\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<br\/> <br\/>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-3375789278566919\";\r\n\/* gardengrows_underpost_300x250 *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"0957462354\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br\/>\r\n<br\/>\r\n\r\n<?php if ( is_search() || is_single() || is_page() || is_paged() || is_category() || is_archive() ) { ?>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\nch_client = \"dragonden\";\r\nch_type = \"mpu\";\r\nch_width = 468;\r\nch_height = 250;\r\nch_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\";\r\nch_color_title = \"FF9B00\";\r\nch_color_text = \"333333\";\r\nch_non_contextual = 4;\r\nch_vertical =\"premium\";\r\nch_sid = \"gardengrows_betweenposts\";\r\nvar ch_queries = new Array( );\r\nvar ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));\r\nif ( ch_selected < ch_queries.length ) {\r\nch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];\r\n}\r\n\/\/--><\/script>\r\n<script  src=\"http:\/\/scripts.chitika.net\/eminimalls\/amm.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br\/><\/div>\r\n<?php } ?>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that the active gardening season is ending here in Toronto my attention is turning back towards our house.
