Final Touch



Here's the 2nd lamp for the living room. Now that there's light, it's finally done. Yeah!

The end results





Hurray! I have all the painting done, all the floor (including the final finishing pieces) done, the sofa and love seat in place, and the tables as well! The tables arrived exactly on time on last Saturday at noon. Now all I have to do is find a lamp for the one table and that's IT!!

Yes, it was worth the painting mess, the wait for the floor materials on back order to come in, the DUST and noise of the floor installation - all of it! I now have essentially a new house! It looks so different!

"New" living room




Furniture has arrived!

The long awaited sofa and love seat came in the front door yesterday morning! What can I say? They look great, it was all worth it (I think!)!!! You've seen the photos already...

I found (and purchased) tables today at Macy's. A coffee table and 2 end tables to be delivered on the 25th of this month! While I was there I found a rug that I really like (there's also a photo of it). It has enough "pattern" in it to be interesting, but it's not so busy that it would fight with the print in the furniture. Sounds impossible, doesn't it...but take a look and let me know what you think!!

Stay tuned...we're almost finished!

The floor is all but finished

Well, after all the ripping up of carpet, cutting of the pieces of the flooring, measuring, pounding, dust, dust and MORE dust; the floor is in! Except for the bits they had to reorder - some "quarter rounds", and some trim pieces here and there. That's all supposed to be in next week sometime.

Anyway, the floor is really beautiful! Why, oh why didn't I do this ages ago?? I spent today, and part of yesterday putting the dining room area back together. The blue plates are all rehung, I bought a corner shelfing unit, and got all the furniture moved back in. I even re-hung some pictures. The rest will come in time.

The living room is still quite bare. The sofa and love seat will be delivered on Tuesday morning. Then I can contemplate what will go into what location in the living room. I still need to find end tables and a coffee table that I like; as well as an additional lamp.

Funny thing, I said I wanted to have this done before the snow flew...it's supposed to snow (yes, here in the valley) TONIGHT!!
