Windows are all Adorned!

On Monday Artys and her husband came to the house for the third and final installation of 1 Roman shade and 3 sets of valences.  I continue to be amazed by her talent and the ease with which she and John just pop these window treatments in.  The lighting was not the best when I took these photos, but I wanted to give you a peek!

Last night Joel and I worked with the carpet expert (let's hope that title is correct!) from Lowes to get the proper measurements for our bedroom, closets, upstairs hallway, and laundry room.  Mike used a tablet to show us where the seam lines would fall, giving us different options with each area.  Once we place the order for the rug it should only be 10 days or so before the big install.  I will keep you posted!

It's a Sign

When you hang your name at the doorway it is surely a sign that you are in and settled! On Saturday Joel and I accomplished a myriad of odd jobs one of which was to install the wonderful wooden plaque that Paige gave us for Christmas.  Love it!

Joel got most of our closets put together and made me this decorative shelf and rod wall hanging for the pink guest room closet.  Because that space does not have a door, clothing storage consists of an antique armoire and this nifty rack.

As we continue to hang our artwork I found the perfect spot for these three watercolors done by my Nana's second husband, Bert Newlove.  She had been a widow for many years and was only married to her "new love" for a few years before he also passed away.  I am thrilled to be able to display his paintings.
