Weeks: 8, 9, & 10
Time flies when you’re having fun.
I apologize it has taken me so long to post an update. (Especially to my Sister, Debi who has been asking me for a posting.)

▪The nail gun is humming and the roofers are busy as I write this.
Hopefully, by next Monday they’ll be finishing up.

▪We signed the closing papers on 358 on Tuesday. It’s a little bittersweet. It was a wonderful place to raise our family and we have many wonderful memories there. However,  I’m happy for the new family and I wish them much joy as they make it their home.

▪The furniture arrived! I was pleasantly surprised; as I bought it through Bassett on-line.

▪I love the coffee table. The top with the inlay of wood pieces, tin and iron legs is a perfect addition to the living room.
▪Speaking of the living room. I finally discovered a talented carpenter whom I’m meeting with on Thursday to discuss the fireplace surround. It will be so nice to get that done so we can replace the pink carpet!

▪Amanda ordered a vanity for her suite on-line from Pier 1; the quality was way better than I expected. She was smart and selected (2)
3-drawer bases and a seperate top. Down the road she can use it as a desk (the bottom drawer is a file drawer) in another application. Her  Thomasville Bed, Side-Table and Dresser from 358 all mix well with it. (Her first furniture purchase, now that’s exciting.)

▪My nephew, Aaron painted the Sunroom last Thursday. I had an idea of what I wanted. I had gobs of paint swatches. I went with (Amanda’s pick) Benjamin Moore, Green Tea.

It’s the perfect blend of green and beige. It looks great; but more importantly it gave the room  such a nice feel. It makes you want to just sit and relax. Mission accomplished. (Thanks to our daughter, Amanda; you have an eye for color.)

▪Aaron also painted the fireplace hearth in the Kitchen. After much search I found the perfect color Benjamin Moore Urban Legend.

▪We picked out the kitchen granite. (It has a touch of green.)
