YEP.....today was the day marked on the calendar (for the second time, if you have followed my posts of last week)......and it occurred right on schedule.....FINALLY!!!! The new 5-piece bedroom suite arrived, was carried in, and set up without a problem......after having been in incubation in the warehouse for over three weeks. And.....it looks great.
The 1st Lady and I spent the morning dressing the room with the fabrics and pillows that we have been purchasing for the past several months........and I believe we made some good selections. NOW......we need to find two bedside table lamps.....and think we have them picked out, but will need to return to STL to get them. Probably could use a bit of art on the walls, but in this room, "less is more".
We both spent some time today transplanting our personal "stuff" from the OLD dresser and chests into the new java colored furniture. Interesting.....that is it is called java/espresso.......why not Fr. Roast????? HAHAHA......I won't argue the point! Anyway.....everything fit in the room, and in the chest and dresser perfectly. I adjusted the ceiling track lighting to accent the various pieces of furniture and it does look really good......if I do say so myself. The colors of the fabrics we are using are aqua and chocolate.........and they really look great with the wall paint, carpet color, and drapery panels.
The remainder of the day was spent in ..........guess what!!?? MOVING STUFF!!!!! Ahhhh, I do believe that will be the theme for TheHowserHouse for the year 2006!!!!!! THE YEAR OF MOVING STUFF!! And just think.....even though we are still not finished doing just that from Stage 1 of our projects.........we must soon begin Stage 2 and move MORE stuff out of the kitchen cabinets. And who know what we will find in the top cabinets, the corner cabinets which will not allow us to reach ALL the way back in to their deepest, darkest recesses, AND the floor to ceiling pantry........WHAT are those things on the backs of the shelves that we can't even see????? WOW......it will be come a Treasure Hunt/Find!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm getting excited about the "Hunt" already. Perhaps we will find some of those black measuring cups that have mysteriously disappeared, the can opener that can no longer be found, and ALL of the various dinnerware sets that we have purchased over the years. You know.......perhaps it would a good idea if I just brought the rolling trash bin inside when we begin this process????
All of these thoughts and the prospect of the coming "hunt" excitement......well, it has me breathless just thinking about it. Sooooooo, with all of this in mind.......
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!......and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
