Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's (Update) From: katlaughing Date: 14 Feb 12 - 10:12 PM A posting by SRS in the declutter thread reminded me, it will be ten years this spring since we bought our house, so I went looking for this thread to see if I could find the exact day. Voila! I love Mudcat...it's like a diary of sharing. Found and old PM..it was 12 April to be exact.:-) |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's (Update) From: katlaughing Date: 25 Mar 04 - 09:36 PM Haha, Aacute&ine,..she sure can, ya know! She's already done one kitchen floor for me in WY. Oh, and whadayamean when he gets louder?! We've already noticed the echo!! Bobert, if we do any sanding it will very light. This floor has been covered up for a loooong time. Luckily, I still have the super-dooper Electrolux floor-buffer we bought years ago. It's going to do a nice job once we've sanded a bit. We have been looking at the DYI, thanks, all. |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's (Update) From: Áine Date: 25 Mar 04 - 07:48 PM Way to go, Rue!! Yeehaw on the wood floors, darlin'! But just remember that when that grandson starts gettin' louder, you'll hear it ring from floor to ceiling (HEHEHEHE)... And I second the vote for the Home Depot DIY floor -- if she can rip one up, she can lay one down (uh, I meant that in a nice way, really)... Big hogs and snugs to the lot of ya, Áine |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's (Update) From: Bobert Date: 25 Mar 04 - 07:36 PM Time to rent a floor sander....... .... but don't take it down too far, especially if it has some character scratches and flaws... Congrates on the find, kat. Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's (Update) From: Amos Date: 25 Mar 04 - 07:26 PM You can get wood flooring that will make that hallway look better than new, and is fairly easy to install yourself. Check it out at your local Home Dept -- it will really beat that melamine, I promise! A |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: katlaughing Date: 25 Mar 04 - 07:20 PM Just a couple of years later, or coming onto the end of our second year and Daughter Dear, Rue, has given me a great early b-day present! She has stripped the living room of yucky carpet and found BEAUTIFUL hardwoood flooring underneath!! She also stripped the hallway which is another story...some kind of salmon-coloured-streaked kind of melamine for floors ala 1950's! Better than the carpet, but it WILL get changed, too! The wood floor is gorgeous!! Just thought I'd share that with ya'll.:-) kat |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: katlaughing Date: 09 May 02 - 09:58 AM There are TWO of them here, Micca, not as tall, but just as colourful and exotic!! Album of one photo, just for you is HERE. I think the whoel Getaway crew should just travel on to here afterwards...we'll make a real party of it! Don, thank you...wish the ceilings were higher, but the floors are lower, for sure...one slopes a bit, too. Ah...olde house syndrome, eh? luvyakat |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Micca Date: 09 May 02 - 07:22 AM Pink Flamingoes????? you didnt mention you have Pink Flamingoes!!!!! (see last years Getaway trip)i might try and make the House warming after all if there is a(as I was told in NH) " Tall colourful exotic Bird with odd tastes" there!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: katlaughing Date: 08 May 02 - 12:49 AM LMAO, LeeJ! You are too much, darlin'! I love the use of the picket fence inside, though! Right next to the pink flamingos which grace the potted palm...lol...OH, and you can take yer advice about the cats and well...you know....fageddaboughdit! Thanks, Rustic Rebel...no cats in the yard except neighbours'...my six are all inside.:-) Blue Jay, good to see you! Thanks, sweetie. You, too Genie...I love that cartoon and your Melanie La Mew sounds like a smart cat...do you know that's how Siamese get darker? They toast themselves on pilot lights, monitors, televisions, anything with heat.:-) Greg, watch it, the little men are on their way to take you away...haha...heehee |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Genie Date: 07 May 02 - 03:02 PM Gee, Kat, how perfedtly exciting! A brand new litter box, scratching post, etc. -- and new digs for the animals, too! I see Kelpie has a station on the 'pewter' like Melanie La Mew has on my TV. Ms. Lovee in the small wooden box reminds me of a cartoon I have on my refrigerator. A woman is at her desk with her cat sitting in the box marked "In." She is saying to the cat, "I'll get to you A. S. A. P." Glad you folks are en route to getting settled in your new digs. Blessings on your new home. Genie [Susan, you little rapscallion upstart scofflaw rabblerouser, you! -- And they say we P.K.s are bad! LOL! ... But don't you realize John Ashcroft now has you on his "terrorists" list?] Genie §;- ) |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: BlueJay Date: 07 May 02 - 03:03 AM Hey, congrats, Kat & Rog. I judge a house by the size of it's kitchen, and it looks like your kitchen's at least twice as large as mine. Very good choice. I would be thrilled with a larger kitchen even if it had fluorescent green cabinets! I know I've been offline and out of touch for a while, and haven't kept up on things. But welcome back to Colorado. Love ya both, BlueJay |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Rustic Rebel Date: 06 May 02 - 11:47 PM " Our house, is a very, very, very fine house. With HOW MANY CATS in the yard? Enjoy and happy home to you all! Rustic |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Lonesome EJ Date: 06 May 02 - 08:17 PM OK! It worked that time, and here are my marvy decorating suggestions....first, get rid of some of those damn cats. I've told you before you have too many, but you just don't listen. Keep Trystan, and take the rest on an outing to the mountains. Release them there to forage and become one with nature. Now, paint a mural of John Wesley Powell descending the Colorado River across those purple cabinets. Harvest the picket fence for firewood, or else use it to create a rustic ambiance in the living room. The yard, obviously, needs some ornamentation. Being a Pagan, you probably wouldn't cotton to the Mary-in-a-Bathtub Garden Shrine, and I guess Lawn Jockies and Reflective Globes are more Kentucky-style, and are perhaps out of place in *****, Colorado. However, its hard to go wrong with pink flamingoes and giant sheet-metal Kokopellis that say "Hi! We're the new neighbors from Wyoming! C'mon over and have some Chugwater Chili!" |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: katlaughing Date: 06 May 02 - 07:38 PM (This went off into the aethers about 6 times this afternoon...quite an experience, that...**BG** Anyhow, here's my reply:) Why...them's fightin' words, my dear darlin' LeeJ..I'll have you know the tags are not brown, they are a lovely shade of washed up blue, with some dead straw yeller, and off-white, oh and some orange-y sorta stuff! They haven't been brown in years! Ya got me on the rest of it, though, I have no idea why the Uni of Wyo has brown and gold as their colours...pretty boring if yer inta sports!*BG* Now, about that decoratin'...give puir ol' Yahoo another try, please...sometimes I can't even access them...but if I hit refresh it usually works. Are you at least getting to the page which has the different files listed? If so, some of them are not accessible to the public, but teh one marked Kat &Rog's house is...let me know, okay? I'd love to see some of yore idees!:-) luvyakat |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Lonesome EJ Date: 06 May 02 - 05:30 PM Dang it. I can't access the pix, and I'm sure I have some simply sensational interior decorating ideas that would knock your socks off, Miss Felinechortling. I get this msg...The File You Are Looking For Is Inaccessible. Anyhow, I'm sure you and Rog are well on the way to makin the society page in GJ, or at the very least, getting several careless driving tickets for sportin those goddam brown Cowboy Tags. And, by the way, why the hell does everything in Wyomin have to be brown? |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: katlaughing Date: 06 May 02 - 03:57 PM Ah, Nathandarlin'...Rog is already talking about him and the dog needing to add on now that the plants and cats have taken over...so there's sure to be some room somewhere...I've no doubt you'll have someone to add on, too..just give yourself some time, darlin'. MMario, thanks! "Colonial blue" is exactly the colour name I was looking for. I loved all of the old paint colours back in New England and it does have that quality to it. Now, I'll add some chaste windowboxes, a brick chimney and real shutters and tell folks I am recreating a squished "saltbox" from New England, blue paint and all. Thanks also for your comments about the cats. I am sure Rog would say you're welcome to them, BUT ya can't have 'em!**BG** I have posted a few more cat pix just for you, three of the Divine Ms. Lovee, herself and one of Trystan Horribilus looking as though he is in heaven hugging Kazell's arse.:-) So, garg...last I knew there were no gargoyles in CO, only California...bit of a stretch for being neighbours. And, any idiot who tries to reach through that door window will draw back a stub...my border collie bites ass and takes names later. kat |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: MMario Date: 01 May 02 - 09:08 PM That cupboard would be called "colonial blue" where I grew up; I WANT YOUR CATS! Gorgeous animals! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: catspaw49 Date: 01 May 02 - 08:56 PM I was thinking you could leave one of the cabinets purple and use it for spices and herbs and such. Decorate it with cowboys on horses and they could be the Riders of the Purple Sage...........or not. Place looks really great luv! Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: artbrooks Date: 01 May 02 - 07:24 PM Looks like a beautiful place, Kat. |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: wysiwyg Date: 01 May 02 - 07:17 PM I knew she was more than just a liberal-- she's left of PURPLE! *G* Those light fixtures would make a GREAT bra-- I'll take 'em! Spiff up my polyester pastorwife outfit real nice! (Worn on the outside of course.) Cup size, hell-- There's C, D, DD, and SPARKLE! Auction them? The LIGHTS! Aw gee..... ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: wysiwyg Date: 01 May 02 - 01:56 AM Who needs stinkin' stencils? I could TP those cabinets for you.... when I get outta jail! Hey! FUNDRAISER! Nonprofits do it all the time! Yeah! various prominent townfolk agree to be "publicly" "arrested" and hauled off to "jail" and their pals have to make bail (donation quotas) to get them out! Yeah! Kat, if you ever get unpacked, dontcha want to run one of those in MudVille????? Sherriff Kat....??? hmmm.... this needs some further development.... I guess Max would have to be judge.... And oh, just think! The OFFENSES! This needs LEJ... LEJ and Spaw.... *G* ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: hesperis Date: 01 May 02 - 01:38 AM Those cupboards aren't PURPLE!!! *Is disappointed* I imagined white hearts stencilled on the cupboards when I looked, I think it'll look very cuuuute! (Yeah, what is it with stencils?) What a pretty house. *Happyhugsforkat* |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: katlaughing Date: 01 May 02 - 12:54 AM Ah, geez, I missed that one, in fact I think I missed a WHOLE bunch in that thread!! Hang on Susan....I'll be right over!

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: wysiwyg Date: 01 May 02 - 12:44 AM I just hope she meets my act of solidarity with an act of solidarity of her own, and gets me out of jail, or at least gets me some press for landing in the pokey! ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: bflat Date: 01 May 02 - 12:16 AM Happy New Home to you nice lady and companion! Ellen |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Sorcha Date: 30 Apr 02 - 11:54 PM LMAO Amos......missed that completely! Big Circus tent is 20'x20'.......and damn near 20' at the center pole....no, I can't begin to finish a 20 oz steak.......but that was bet that wanted to "steak out".....4 oz or less will do me just fine. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Amos Date: 30 Apr 02 - 11:04 PM Sorcha, g'wann witcha -- you're not half big enough to put away a 20x20 steak!!! A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Sorcha Date: 30 Apr 02 - 10:22 PM "Steaked out"??? Does that mean you are providing the steaks? LOL! I will need either 18x8 or 20x20....but we would share space. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: GUEST,KathWestra (cookieless in New Hampshire) Date: 30 Apr 02 - 10:09 PM Dear Kat-kin, Love to you both. Welcome home. More when I'm back at my own 'puter. Kath |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: bet Date: 30 Apr 02 - 09:59 PM Norton1, I knew something was missing in the pic but couldn't figure out what is was, the CATS. Hey Sorcha, she has lots of room for tents, I've already steaked out my spot but if it's going unused when you get there I'll let you have it 'til I arrive.**BG**. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Apr 02 - 07:55 PM If that purple (really it's lilac) were the sky, what would you paint on it then? ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Sorcha Date: 30 Apr 02 - 06:58 PM I need to know if there is room in the backyard for a tent...... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Amos Date: 30 Apr 02 - 06:56 PM Love them purple pull-me's!! Looks like a real homey kinda place, guys!! Round up some of that mountain sage to wave around -- we had a Shamanetta walking around through all our rooms when we moved in, smoked sage and a native bodhran medicine drum followed by a gaggle of other participants with whistles, rattles, guitars and little horns -- it just set the tone of the place forever!! A |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: kytrad (Jean Ritchie) Date: 30 Apr 02 - 06:27 PM Kat, Welcome home! What state are you in now? On the map I mean... Joyful millennium wherever you are- Jean |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: JenEllen Date: 30 Apr 02 - 06:21 PM *ROTFLMAO* That stenciling must be a wench-thing, huh?? Those light fixtures are in my room, eh? Bask in the warmth of kitties and retro glow? I think I can handle it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Sorcha Date: 30 Apr 02 - 06:10 PM Actually, the color is not that bad! I had a vision of PURPLE..........rec'd your message last nite. Figured you either got busy or collapsed.....glad you liked the tape. I thought you would. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Steve in Idaho Date: 30 Apr 02 - 06:00 PM Those pictures are not of Kat's home. I did not see one cat or Kat in them - so it isn't so. Really Kewl tree though!!
Love - Steve |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: katlaughing Date: 30 Apr 02 - 05:20 PM Funny you should say that about stenciling...I've got a little "Tree of Hearts" I did in watercolours for my sis and Night Owl thinks it would be really pretty on the cupboards. I am not too keen on yellow and white, so...will probably keep the periwinkle for awhile. And, you are right on target with those light fixtures! That was exactly my thought. Someone who wants to really be retro should really snap them up...they are a hoot! I am going slow...lined 3 cupboards and quit to make a bunch of phone calls...have on an oldies station while I *thread*...cellphone is charging, but the free rates don't start until after 8p my time, so...I'll try tonight, if I am not asleep.:-) We've got lots to gaggle about, awchee... luvyamehitabel |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: Áine Date: 30 Apr 02 - 05:13 PM Great pics, mehitabel!! It just looks purrfect for you and my darlin' Ringtail-tooter ;-) As for the cabinets, if you're not going to stencil them or use a stubble glaze, I think a creamy warm yellow would look nice. And those 60's light fixtures -- babe, hie thee to Ebay and sell the suckers! Please call soon - I'm wilting without word from you, wonder woman . . . Keep taking things slow and easy darlin', Áine |

Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: katlaughing Date: 30 Apr 02 - 04:57 PM What a surprise it was when MMario got on the phone! Great to visit with you, MM! Okay, to settle the debate about the "poi-pull" kitchen cupboards, just click here, choose Kat &Rog's house, and see for yerself...looks "periwinkle blue" to me and I can live with them, for awhile at least!*bg* There're a couple of other photos as well. Thanks, again. You all are a pretty special bunch, ya know that? luvyakat |
|
Subject: RE: BS: new home, Kat's From: MMario Date: 30 Apr 02 - 08:57 AM hee-hee! I got to hear this Saturday night while I was visiting with Night Owl; but good to see it confirmed here on the 'cat as well.
