What do you need?





Lamps?



Armoires?



Chairs?



Mirrors? I love their mirrors. (some of them at least)








The girls checking out the mirrors.





Light bulbs? They have everything!

Purchases

I almost bought this armoire- I liked the color- the palm trees weren't really my thing, but I thought I could cover two bulletin board panels with a cute fabric and attach them over the palm tree panels. This is a solid wood armoire that previously housed a television in a Hyatt somewhere in sunny Florida and is now in a boiling hot dusty warehouse on sale for $99!



However, I ended up getting this one instead- I can't decide if it will go in our bathroom or in the laundry room.....I may or may not take off the wavy trim around the top- depends on where I put it. Just think of the possibilities! You could paint it another color or change out the fabric panels- or take them out if you like. Bookcase? Quilts? Lots of choices- and yours for $99!



The find of the day- these wall sconces with no shades- I will show you later what I have planned for them!




I also bought two big wicker ottomans, but I forgot to take photos. One thing- you better make make sure you really like it before you buy it!

One of my favorite stores for treasures and bargains.



Cash Liquidations Discount Funiture in Forsyth, GA. When hotels go out of business or remodel, all their old stuff goes here. Be prepared- it is huge, hot (or freezing cold), smells funny and there is some funky (as in gross) stuff in here. But, for those willing to break out the elbow grease, paint and fabric; there are some awesome deals to be had!

Playing catch up.

I had visions of an in depth website/blog regarding our move and subsequent home building. I would keep up with every stage of construction and post often so that friends and family could keep up with how things were going. HA! The best laid plans..... Seems like there was always something- I didn't have my camera, I was too tired, too cranky, too cold, too hot- whatever the reason, I didn't take photos and post like I wanted too. So, I am trying to play catch up and have posted a bunch of photos today!

I hope we will be in by the end of the month- depends on what the inspector says! Lots of little stuff left to do......thanks to everyone for the uplifting emails!

Pantry

The pantry was #1 on my new house wish list- can't wait to get my shelves in!


My purple hoosier cabinet top- I found it in a barn at an estate sale and cleaned it up and painted it my favorite color. It still has the flour sifter! Need to put a top on this base cabinet as well.... Posted by Picasa

Animals


Daisy growling at something dangerous- a butterfly perhaps?

Steps!

It is so nice to have steps- no more climbing on scaffolding and concrete blacks!

Even MORE Kitchen!


Island- we aren't putting a sink in here- I wanted a big uninterrupted work area that can also be an area for eating.


Back of island- this will house the extra oven and the microwave. We still haven't found the "perfect" top for the island- I am leaning towards a really thick dark chocolate colored walnut slabs we have- it is at the bottom of all the lumber piles, though- so probably a piece of plywood until we can get to it!


Another feature I really like- a gas cut off that is seperate from the range that was easy to get to "just in case".


More soapstone- and that awesome deep window sill- lovin' it!

Mudroom and Laundry




Pretty self explanatory- room for my freezer, some storage. And a good place for tools for the time being.






Laundry room- and storage for the pex hot and cold water line leftovers.Posted by Picasa

Mudroom Bath


I really like how this is coming together- I still have a fair amount of trim painting in here- I can't wait for a soak in that tub!


We moved this tub from Forest Home- I had never seen one like it and it fits me perfectly. It is shorter than most clawfoot tubs and I love the wide rim. The blue well tank out the window is a nice landscape element. :)

This is the door we will use- I am planning on hanging a curtain on the back of the glass for privacy while still allowing light into the mudroom. It is one of the terrible looking old doors we picked up and refinished- it was two tone yellow and orange!

Even More Kitchen!

A rare smile- even Kevin is tickled with the progress!


I adore this refrigerator- it was #2 on the top 5 things on my wish list- the pantry was in the top spot! I love ebay.

Beautiful cabinet doors- heart pine frame with curly pine panels. It is the same pine that some of the floors are made from.
