The kitchen is painted.........

Not sure if you can see the actual color ( October Mist) but it is a gray/green. I think Ill keep it, it was a labor of love. No really, I did this all alone!! I am very proud! pardon the baby Ike's butt in the way, he saw crumbs.

.
I think I have to get stainless appliances now?

And this is a little key holder next to the door- too cute. We loose the keys quite a bit, so we will see if the birdy helps

My fav new hand soap- you have to find it somewhere and smell it- BEYOND!

And finally my measuring cups.....pop!

a few new things.....and some old habits

I know, I know...its been a while. I must remind you it is Christmas...and I work in retail. enough said. But to shut you up, here.........
I added to the furnishings collection, i have to say I loveeeeeee my new chair...

it lives in my boudoir, and it is just the right size to detour dogs.
And I especially loveeee our new table, now we have no legitimate excuse not to have people over for dinner...wait yes, yes we do, dogs again!! we have dogs..sorry!

okay, see this picture, tell me what is wrong with it??????

look closer....


now replace the pig with a particular husband. 3 dozen cookies, yes I said THREE!! and today I come home to 4 cookies. PIG!

I must say he earned it......see, pictures on the wall, hung straight and all.


its coming together!!
Here are the final results for the living room.

I'm keeping it this time. replace the bookshelf with 2 smaller cases under the 2 windows on each side of the fireplace and whala!! You like????
of coarse as Im posting, I notice no tree...not even a suggestion that it is Holiday...maybe next year.

Happy Weekend!!


Bet you've never seen leaves on the trees, and snow on the ground at the same time. It is still trying to be fall but Mr winter is barging in!!

Had a wonderful day with our 'old neighbors' Charlie & Phillis who made us veggie lasagna and a Bday cake!! YUM!! We are thankful that so far away from home, we have someone who will take us in and be our faux family, at least on Holidays! They are great people, and definitely have good Karma coming their way for how nice they have always been to us.
Well I survived Black Friday.......now a month to go.....weeee!
