Cleaning Up

We are starting to get things put away...sort of. We are slowly trying to pick up the stuff that was sitting around in the living room and putting pictures on the wall. Here are some pictures of the living room:

A little bit of a snapshot of the place:


We finally found a place to put our wedding centerpieces:


The very functional table that doesn't match the rest of the living room:


The too big wall with one picture on it...we plan on just putting all of our pictures there in black frames:


The tight dining room...large table + wine buffet = not much space:


We had some issues with our dishwasher. It didn't fit well underneath the existing cracked tile counter, so we bought an inexpensive laminate one to tide us over for the time being. It is a few inches deeper, so we can place our new dishwasher underneath. Andrew has been hard at work demolishing the tile and cutting out a space for the sink in the new countertop.

What was under the tile was DISGUSTING!

While Andrew was working on that, I was busy with something else...our bed! It arrived yesterday and I picked up the India Ink Duvet Set from Anthropologie. It is a great quality duvet and feels so nice! I should also mention that to match, we picked up a Thomasville Renovation chest from Target. It is the Terrace style:



Our bed in our room (if you notice, our curtain rod has balls on it too, to match the bed and chest!) :


And, of course, the newest (and oldest) addition to our family:

HARLEY!


I will post the finished kitchen later.
