Almost finished...





The guys are gone and the granite looks great -- now the hard work starts... Cleaning up after it all and getting everything back into the right spot. The gas guy is here now... connecting the gas cooktop and our old gas grill. This kitchen is coming along really well... I'm excited for finally having something close to being done!!

I love me some Uba Tuba!!

Finally...some furniture (and some more snow)

Well, I would guess we have about 6 inches of snow on the ground this morning but that's not what I'm blogging about. :)

We went on a MARATHON furniture buying trip yesterday -- from noon until six. I did all the research first over these past few weeks... checking out the store, our options, etc. And finally we have purchased almost everything. We still need to find a bed. Our credit card is sore today but we knew it was coming and are prepared!! All furniture will be here this coming week except the family room couches which will be here December 1st. Now I get to decorate with rugs and pictures, etc. I'm very excited!


This is our living room sofas... Yes, they are yellow and they are a really pretty color. I wanted some color in the room because the walls are khaki. The dining room is really deep burgundy so the yellow will look great with it nearby.



This is our new kitchen table. It's a square counter height table. Our kitchen table from VA is rectangular and just does not fit in the space so we plan to move it downstairs as a card table for the rec room/man cave.


We bought the sofa and the loveseat in this taupe color for our family room. The walls are light cream and we have some accent pillows to tie in the green from the kitchen. This is the set that is not coming until the 1st of December.


This is our new dining room set. We wanted something really rustic -- not formal but large enough to see everyone who comes to visit us!!
