First of all, THANK YOU For all the well wishes on our new little “project!” Now, about the rug.. Instead of going back to the bigger (and farther away) Home Goods where we got the original too small dining room rug, we went to the one closer to our house. They didn’t have the same […]

During our spontaneous accidental Home Goods shopping trip on the way back from picking up Faux Fireplace II we found the perfect dining room rug! Or so we thought. Not having actually ever measured our dining room floor or table for a rug, we didn’t really know what size to get, but the 5-9 ish […]

Ok, I have my camera cord! So here’s the result of this weekend’s progress..or lack therof.

The weekend started with a Friday night whirlwind shopping expedition with stops at Ikea, West Elm and Crate & Barrel. At Ikea I got both the white AND natural color curtain for the dining room (what, you actually expected me to be decisive?) and red ones for the office. The red ones are going back […]

 Some of you may remember when I bought the antique china cabinet on ebay about a month or so ago. The seller is about 120 miles away in Pennsylvania, so it took us a while to schedule a time to meet half way. Having looked at a google map of the route between the […]

Thank you for all of your opinions about the items we were considering buying before last weekend. I thought I should post an update since so many of you were kind enough to post your advice! 1) For some reason we never made it to see the grill…too much chaos with the tar incident. 2) […]

The weekend is upon us and we’re in the unfamiliar territory called “the home stretch” in which we actually get to start “cleaning up” and “finishing things” in preparation for (gasp!) actually MOVING IN! Whoohooo! Ok, as usual I’m getting a bit ahead of myself because we can’t move in until we have the floors […]

I’ve seen alot of these JCPenney country kitchen pieces featured in decorating mags this spring, and they’re all on clearance now!  I’m thinking any one of these would look so cute in our dining room: Cottage Kitchen Hutch – now $199 (my fave I think) Or this Buffet for just $149! And lastly this Victorian Buffet & […]
