We’ve been busy working away on two bedrooms upstairs but neither of them are ready to photograph yet. Our guest room is completely painted and the furniture all in place I am just waiting on the new light fixture to arrive (it’s supposed to be here today – yay!) and I need to add a few more accessories.
We are nearing the end of our entryway makeover! Yay! Last week our new light fixture arrived and the following day I hung it with help from a couple of the women’s basketball players. I have hung most of the ones in this house that I’ve switched out myself (well, if you don’t count Lillie – haha!) so I have to say it was really nice having a 6’3″ helper holding the weight of the chandelier while I wired it.
Happy New Year! I know I haven’t blogged much these last couple of weeks but I promise I haven’t been asleep on the job! =) I got our new light fixture hung in the entryway last week and took some photos of it yesterday and then plan on taking some pictures of our living room and kitchen later this morning and I am almost ready to photograph our new guest bedroom – I cannot wait to show you that.
I haven’t spent much time on my computer this past week but that’s because I’ve been busy working away on another room in our house. First, I got all of our Christmas decorations put away (except for the paperwhites and a couple of wreaths) and then I got to work priming and painting the trim in our other extra bedroom and started on the walls.
We just wanted to pop in and wish you all a very Merry Christmas! I thought I would share our 2013 Christmas Card along with our ones from the last few years with you today:

I am going to try to squeeze one last post in here before Christmas! I took these pictures a little while ago but then I had some trouble with my card reader and couldn’t get them onto my computer. Fortunately, it’s all fixed now. Anyway, here are some photos of our kitchen decorated for Christmas:
The hot chocolate mugs were an anniversary gift several years ago from Burdicks.
I added some new words to this chalkboard platter from my mother-in-law:
Love these little trees from Trader Joe’s:
This fancy ginger ale from Trader Joe’s was over in the corner to the right of the stove but I couldn’t get a good shot of it because it was so shadowy under the cabinets so I moved it here.
