A quick post...

Tonight's post is going to be brief... I am tired and want to get up early tomorrow.  Things on the home-front are coming along.  I am very excited about my new digs... Jill was here this weekend and she was very helpful and we had a great time together.  Here are a few pics... 
Home sweet home...

Sheldon sitting on top of the basement stairs... looks like s/he's sitting at a bar waiting for a beer! 

I took these last weekend when everyone was here... Dad is known to make funny faces at the right moment... 


Stella... very comfortable...
 Enjoying some sunshine and boxes...

My new mirror for my dining room!!! 

My new wine rack... now in the corner where the hutch was... I felt like the hutch made the space too crowded for when people were sitting around the table... so I moved it... I have never been a wine person... but had bought a few bottles to have for guests... but this weekend I found a couple of wines I liked... 

My couch, complete with new pillows and curtains!  I am so in love with the colors! 

I have to put some more things below the painting... but this is a start... the painting has been an amazing starting point to decorating!!! Still iin love with it! 

The dining room...

The wall is very big and there was a lot of space between the mirror in the dining room and the painting in the living room... so... I got some shelves... it was a pain in the butt hanging these suckers I will tell you that... got to use my level and tape measure... yes I CAN do it...and did do it...  but... (oh notice the pillows in the rocking chair... FUN!) 

Starting to fill in the shelves... 
It really is feeling like home, like my space ... and I am happy... Now I need to start on the upstairs!
Tomorrow my coworkers at my old job start their school year... it is strange to not be with them on opening day, but... I can't say I wish I was with them... Life is good! 

Here are some other pics that were on my phone, from when Sis and the boys were here. 






Ben... canasta... going out for the first time... look at that pride!




Ben's first canasta victory!




Oh... and had to sneak in a picture of Maria!
 I will check in again soon!

Thanks for a great weekend of shopping and decorating! You deserve the best...and now you're getting it. My favorite moment of the visit was looking at the old photographs with you. Thank you for sharing those with me. It's important to include the past with the present and the future. Especially when decorating. ;) Much love my friend.
