Just a little peek.........

At the carpet samples:

Have chosen the middle one for the family room, all 504 square feet of it.  Deposit paid and hope to have it installed the first week of November.

Four years after we purchased these, dh finally got around to putting up the three wall lights in the family room.  We have the matching table lamp and ceiling light.  What a difference they have made to the room.  We paid Just over $40 each for them instead of close to $90.

As the floor is hardwood from 1974 in the family room, it only had quarter round wood edging it.  So we are going to add baseboard/skirting board.  Here it is laying in the family room ready for dh to put down.  We luckily had this left over from another project.

Starting another project with this lovely material.  I will post more about it next month.

I finally got the crib skirt (polka dot material) and the tab top valance sewn for the baby's room.  Nothing like leaving it until last minute. 

One job we did over the weekend was to pull out the upper kitchen cabinets, as the guys are coming to pick them up today to finish them.  While we were out on the weekend we picked up these tiles for the back splash from Lowes.

Lots going on around here, but we are slowly making progress.

A couple of Nursery photos.

Wanted to share with you a couple of photos of the nursery.  It's painted three walls grey and one wall pale pink.  The main feature on one wall is this tree decal.  Isn't it neat?  Dd bought it from an Etsy Store called Secret of the Cat they have lots of neat options on the site. In real life the tree is dark grey with bright pink birds, with paler pink wings, yellow beaks and feet.

It's a vinyl decal, that can be removed from the wall and was pretty simple to install.  As it was shipped from Chile, dd ended up paying an extra $20 for customs and duty.  I think it was well worth the money and is an outstanding feature in the room.  It is also not too baby-ish and will grow with Our Little Sweet Pea.

I'll share with you more photos when I have got all the sewing completed.
