Dinner For Two

The curtains are in, and the mirror was installed last night! Yay! I love this mirror and I was very nervous about hanging it. It wasn't too hard. The new tablecloth is spill-proof and has a nice bamboo pattern. I decided to go with neutrals and let the new rug stand out. Isn't the centerpiece cute? That was my first late night craft project for the house. I love the location of the table now as it really opens up the space, and still allows for the table to extend and seat guests...as soon as a I have chairs to seat them in. :)






The other side of the room is going to become our yoga/meditation sanctuary. Mahogany bamboo blinds are being ordered for the double window. I'm having a dark walnut low minimal bench made custom at a steal price topped with large pillows in colors/designs that compliment the rug. That is up next! I will post a final before and after later on. ONE ROOM AT A TIME. that is my mantra.

New Rug Sneak

Okay, I got a little bit excited. I LOVE this rug. It's exactly what I wanted and a good price. Perfect size for this space. I still have to scrub the floors. Look at Liam's baseboard job, 100% finished!

This is the early bones of the new dining area. I also bought an amazing silver mosaic star burst mirror that will go over the table, new curtain rod, new curtains, new table cloth, bamboo place mats. I made a modern centerpiece and now I'm looking for some fun modern chairs (maybe stack-able for space saving)....Well, it's just so exciting to see this odd space become gorgeous and functional.

Garage Siding Update

We finally had the vinyl siding put on the garage to match the house. It looks nice! The garage was in a condition to tear down when we bought the house, but with a new roof, new garage doors, re-facing, walls plumbed, and now some vinyl siding to seal out the weather and carpenter ants...it will be around for a few more decades. Sometimes vinyl siding isn't all that bad.











This makes for a happy Mosies.
