Well here it is….the newest addition to my family room…

Not finished yet with this room – still need curtains and a cute little pillow for this beautiful chair…

I am so excited to share this with you.

Have a wonderful day..

Much love,

COMING SOON***********

Well we are almost there – we finished the mold issue – will be having the rugs installed on Thursday ***YEA*** (need to get this house back to normal)

Painted the railings – they look beautiful —— Thanks Hun…..

painted, painted, and painted some more.

Will be redoing the dining room a bit different.

We will be using a mirror on the only wall – so the hutch will be placed near the family room – (you can still see it from the dining room)

Here is a sneak peak of the mirror

We went shopping in our home for this one and saved $350 that’s a bargain – It use to be cream and Pete painted it white.  I love the white..

Did purchase a new lamp for the buffet –

Vienna Full Spectrum

It matches my chandelier.  Purchased it on Lamps Plus “

So until next week I send lots of Love and a wonderful weekend.

Much love,

Rose

Good Morning Everyone-

It’s been a real long time since I have posted anything on my blog.

We have had a very busy summer, graduations, showers, and a beautiful wedding.

To get back home and figure out what we are doing with our retired lives.

We thought we might want to leave New York, so we took a trip to Florida and looked at a house (fell in love with it) but realized we are really North Easterners – we truly love the 4 seasons.

So now that we are staying in NY we decided to change the rugs in our condo.

After Pete removed the rugs we found mold by the door to the deck.

We had to postpone the rug install until Oct 23rd.  We have someone fixing the mold problem – its a bit involved, but the end result will be so much better.

Can’t wait to get our home back to normal.  We are living on concrete floors and one chair and the sofa.

Everything else is scattered throughout the house.

Dust everywhere, but I guess it is a good time to do home improvement, the windows can be opened, for the dust, and I will be fall cleaning after this anyway.

Just a couple of pictures where we are now.

This is my dining room ***

This is the family room

mold by the door to the deck

Another picture of the mold – it cracked the concrete (not good)

But on a good note – it’s being fixed.  YEA****

I will be posting pictures of the new living room and dining room after the 23rd of October.

Have a wonderful day & be grateful for all you have, especially family.

Much love,

Rose

As you might know by now – I love to rearrange – ANYTHING…

So that being said – the other day I asked Pete if he would help me put my desk in his office – it was in the Master Bedroom –

I was able to take my hope chest out of storage, and put it in place of the desk – looks so much better then the desk did.

Close up 

Which brings me to where I put the table that was in the office.  – more rearranging 

This is where the table found it home.

In the Family Room *****

The sofa table found a new spot in the Dining Room

Finally last by not least the little black table that was in the dining room has a new home in the entry way..

I love it here  *****

Hope you enjoyed our new but old additions to our home.

Have a wonderful day

Much love,

Rose

Hi Again –

So today we went to an estate sale – I found this beautiful old table.  It has two sides that fold down – and everything was made without using one nail.

The way furniture was made years ago amazes me.

It will last and last for me to pass down to my children.

Here is the story how we got this home…

The estate sale was down the block from us – Pete used a dolly to put the table on and wheeled it home… I wonder what that must of looked like.  I was not there for that.  What a great guy to do this for me..

Well here’s the table – Isn’t it absolutely beautiful.

Much love,

Rose
