Duvet Cover

Perfect!

Curtain Time!

We are thinking these creamy, velvety curtains throughout the house will tie things together nicely. Plus, the contrast of the plush curtains with the distressed floors might be pret-ty cool.

Updates....!

In order to achieve a starry night sky look on our bedroom ceiling we decided to get something with a bit more sparkle than the chandelier wed previously picked. We chose this guy:


Our new roof, which is being installed as we speak (yay!), is a greyish/brownish TL, random tab design. TL means triple layer which "provides a dramatically thick roofing product styled with the classic appeal of wood shakes." Random tab design means "random and unique natural shadows gives luxurious dimensional character to the shingles." Cool!


Kitchen/bathroom appliances are trickling in-should all be installed by the end of the week (except our fridge which wont be here for a few more weeks).
The countertop folks will come out for the template this week. Not sure how long until the counters are installed but no kitchen sink/dishwasher hook up until then. Handwashing dishes is bad enough but having to handwash them in the bathtub...ugh! Hahah, well live ;)
Bad news: no more landscape work can be done until the Spring. Sorry, neighbors, for our eyesore!!!
