Had a long day today, but we've spent the last few days putting some finishing touches on the kitchen and unpacking some things that Mom sent from Florida with us last year. Shanny & Lexi came up to help with the border, and we had fun unpacking & arranging things after it was up.
and here's what it looked like after the unpacking:
and even a few for the dining room:
It was a fun day. Today, we spent trying to get our errands run and business done through a town full of city-wide yard sale! We managed not to stop at any of them, and I think we even stayed within the budget.
It's really coming together now. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI wish we lived closer, we have a Mission style table and 8 chairs we are going to get rid of as we are turning our dining room into a pantry. We never eat in there and I can set up my dehydrator and have tons of shelves for storage.
Thanks for posting all the great photos.
Thank you. I wish you lived closer too. I'd love to have the table & chairs. We've had a lot of folks wonder about our choice to add a pantry. Apparently, nobody builds pantries into houses any more? With the open floor plan, we can utilize space for dining, office, and living room, and kitchen as an open "U". It sort of makes the house look bigger than it really is, but we also planned lots of storage space into it. The same floor plan could probably be modified somewhat for a 3-bedroom house or even to add a 2nd bathroom.
