Lots of Beacon Hill Activity

July 31, 2026 at 11:16 am by Claudia

Sorry for the late post – there were some problems with the blog and malware this morning, so I was on the phone with my host and also sent a message to my security company. This is the stuff that makes me want to yell “That’s it! No more blog!”

Anyway, I have yet to hear from my security company, but my host says that it looks like their new scanner found the initial problem and removed the malicious info. Okay good!  – but I won’t relax until the security company confirms that.

Updates to the Beacon Hill:

I added wallpaper to the 3rd floor den. I love this pattern. It’s from the same woman that sold me the kitchen and bedroom wallpaper. This room is sort of a mess. It was put together incorrectly and doing anything with it always involves some problem. Nevertheless, the dollhouse is only for me, so I can handle the imperfections. And disguise them, if possible.

Yesterday, I installed flooring on the second floor landing. It takes forever and I worked on it for about 5 hours. The area behind the rear railing was a pain in the tush. I had to do it all by feel as I can’t see back there. At one point, I had the iPhone flashlight on so I could try to see something.

Okay…blurry, and I fully realize that you may not like this, but this is current look of the buffet.

I mixed this with a lighter shade of blue and some black.

It’s growing on me. I’m going to leave it as is for the time being. I like this color.

I may add some sort of vase or something – if I have anything on hand.

Lots of work this week on the Beacon Hill. Next up: floor for the 3rd floor landing and for the den.

Guys, with all the crap I had to deal with this morning, and this late posting, I’m going to take tomorrow off. I’ll be back on Monday.

Stay safe.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
