The new-to-us furniture....

Just a quick post on this Thursday morning. We are getting ready for life to get to warp speed now. Still so much to do but things are getting done!!

Our new-to-us dining room furniture was delivered yesterday.  The electrician came to install extra outlets in Joe's shed and the 'bug people' came to do their once-a-year insect protection for us. The closet folks came Tuesday and I don't think they will be able to help us. When I explained what we needed, he had this blank look on his face.....

The roofers will do the roof on Monday.  Our garage sale is this Saturday.  Our son arrives on Friday and we are so happy for his help.  I measured all the windows for curtains. We got the paint Tuesday night and our painter will start on Saturday. He says two days....

Here is the dining room we purchased.  Joe and I are both very happy with it.


The table has a leaf and there are eight chairs.


Missing you all!  Keeping you in my prayers and appreciate those keeping us in yours!  I'll check in as I can!  Peace & hugs!!

  5. So glad your move is going so smoothly. Your dining set looks pretty. Is that Early American style? Good luck with this coming week. Such an exciting time.

    1. No...not early American. The color is not really maple. I called it more "traditional" but I'm not a furniture period expert by any means. My mom had early American when I was growing up and this is not like hers was.

  13. Veeery attractive, Terri! I mostly like the tile and hardwood juncture. We had someone come out and give us a quote last night, but Tom's having difficulty imagining how it's going to look.

  14. Nice furniture! I prefer squared off tables (like yours) over round or oval. Placemats tend to work better with tables with corners.

    So glad things are going well. Sorry about the closet people...

  16. The dining set looks beautiful. A blank stare from the closet guys? Aren't they the ones you hired for that kind of job before?
