I am still trying to get all the Christmas decor put back in the storage room. I took everything down to the basement and left it there. On Sunday I got about 90% of it put back in the storage room. It took me a few hours to do it since I did some reorganizing on the shelves. I need to get it finished this coming weekend.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures from our previous home.<br />

Last Friday night we had our bedroom furniture taken away. I decided to just put it up for free and say it is yours just haul it away. I put it on our neighborhood site and I was surprised that I had three people interested. I wasn't sure if anyone would want it since it is dark wood, oversized and more of a Tuscan style. We had the furniture for 15 years so I think that we got our money out of it. It was still in pretty good shape since we moved 6 times with it.<br />
<br />
Right now I feel like we just moved in and our furniture is still in storage. There are lamps on the floor and only the beds in the room. We have the adjustable beds so there are two twin beds pushed together. We are still waiting to get our bid on the new carpet but I think I will go ahead and get the new furniture ordered. I woke up in the middle of Friday night and didn't know where I was at since I didn't see the furniture. Funny how sometimes you can't wait to get rid of your furniture and then when it's gone you miss it. <br />
<br />
Saturday morning we had our new refrigerator delivered. I am so excited about it. I never thought I would be this excited about a refrigerator. I love the window panel on the door. You can just open that area and reach for what you want and not have to open the door all the way. It also lights up if you knock on it twice. I think that it blends in well with the other appliances. It definitely changed the look of the kitchen.<br />

We found some carpet at Lowe's and we also looked at refrigerators. We inherited ours with the house and it has a leaky problem in the freezer area. The ice maker is in the bottom freezer and for some reason the water leaks a little bit on the bottom. I don't like having the ice maker in the bottom and would rather have the water/ice feature on the upper door.<br />
<br />
Here is the refrigerator we picked out. It is suppose to be delivered on Saturday.<br />

Here is what our current refrigerator looks like. It's ok but as I said earlier it leaks on the bottom and I miss having water and ice on the door.<br />

On Tuesday someone is coming to take measurements for the carpet. We only need carpet for the four bedrooms upstairs. Our mail level is tile and wood. The carpet in the basement is still good so we don't have to replace it. Once we find out when the carpet is going to be installed I can order my new bedroom furniture. This is the set I have chosen.<br />

I already have the new bedding. Right now it is sitting in my formal living room since I wanted to wait to use it when I get the new furniture. I have been waiting a long time for new furniture. We have had our current furniture for 15 years now.<br />
<br />
Here is what our current furniture looks like<br />

It sure is hard to find a charity that will pick up large furniture. Right now I am trying to get rid of it for free on our neighborhood website. If that doesn't work I might be able to get one charity to come and pick it up.<br />

I had too much to do at work and a lot of errands to run on my lunch so I didn't get to do any shopping. I did get to shop on Thursday and Friday on my lunch. I am sharing a video of my finds. I am going to be vlogging as well as posting on my blog.<br />

I miss sharing my birthday with him. The last birthday we shared was my 30th. My mother always told me that I was his best birthday present. My parents waited a long time to get me. The lady at the adoption agency told them that she just knew that I would be the girl that they waited so long for. They were excited when they got the phone call the night I was born and just happened to be my Dad's birthday. 12 days later they took me home.</span><br />

my kitchen. Let's just say that ever since I have been putting away the
Christmas decor the kitchen has suffered. Sure I kept the sink and
stove top clean but the kitchen table and island served as a catch all.
I also did some new decorating on the counter tops.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JRIGSDDFVng/XESg2stqCLI/AAAAAAAAI3I/SOkB8iIiIl84VbqqA-G9eWSAkywWZvsJwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_8022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1600" height="428" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JRIGSDDFVng/XESg2stqCLI/AAAAAAAAI3I/SOkB8iIiIl84VbqqA-G9eWSAkywWZvsJwCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_8022.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Now most of the time I sugar coat my pictures when it comes to the kitchen. I always remove most of the appliances and of course the famous bag of plastic grocery bags hanging on one of the cabinet knobs. I decided to leave most of my everyday items except of course the bag of bags.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KyDDOVW3b8k/XESiOfXIasI/AAAAAAAAI3Q/4Wwd2jKiJQohCOi5UYlZINbl9hdLBlNDQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_8036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1029" data-original-width="1600" height="410" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KyDDOVW3b8k/XESiOfXIasI/AAAAAAAAI3Q/4Wwd2jKiJQohCOi5UYlZINbl9hdLBlNDQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_8036.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Normally I would take off the basket of my husbands protein powders and the coffee flavors and sugar dispenser.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-trNLdfan_CY/XESiP2pYOoI/AAAAAAAAI3U/AB6DKIexcvItAlvlcMnEZ4Rn9tJ6rFuEwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_8037.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-trNLdfan_CY/XESiP2pYOoI/AAAAAAAAI3U/AB6DKIexcvItAlvlcMnEZ4Rn9tJ6rFuEwCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_8037.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And of course the blender and can opener here.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GS3FPA9zh5o/XESiRdLpKXI/AAAAAAAAI3Y/dB_U3_sgMwI-eoXdbUudrBclt7fvQR5PQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_8040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GS3FPA9zh5o/XESiRdLpKXI/AAAAAAAAI3Y/dB_U3_sgMwI-eoXdbUudrBclt7fvQR5PQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_8040.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I changed out the display in this corner. I used to have a rooster plate and some vinegar/vegetable bottles.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Le1ZBVdbCaE/XESjKOcSPuI/AAAAAAAAI3k/46GyePn9d98_CHoRv1FJgqMwlBOv8xv4wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_8034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1421" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Le1ZBVdbCaE/XESjKOcSPuI/AAAAAAAAI3k/46GyePn9d98_CHoRv1FJgqMwlBOv8xv4wCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_8034.JPG" width="568" /></a></div>
<br />
The red rooster was on the opposite corner display. I decided that he looked better over here with the red lamp.<br />
<br />
The opposite corner I added my farm fresh pig. I would normally leave out the can opener and pen container for pictures but I decided no sugar coating today. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I also changed out the decor on my tray that is on the kitchen table.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On the wall by my rolling shelf unit I added some touches to my hanging wire basket.<br />
<br />

<br />
I added some kitchen towels and a little bit of greenery.<br />
<br />

My new project for the kitchen is to redo the upper niches and to paint the chairs and table. Here is how the niches look now. I am thinking about removing some of the items, possibly added a few new items and rearranging the other items.<br />

Now for the chairs and table I am thinking about painting them like I did the kitchen island. I have had this table set for 15 years. I believe it is time for a change. They are very sturdy but I am not loving the color any more. I did redo the upholstery on the seats a few years back.<br />

I now would like to share with you the great deal that I got the other day at Pier I. I had to use my $20 reward coupon but they didn't have much Spring decor yet. I went looking back at the clearance items and found these Fall flowers stems that were 90% off. They were originally $12.99 and I got them for $1.28 each. I ended up getting twelve of them. I know they look small in the pictures but they are actually about 45 inches in length.<br />

Well that's it for this time. I am not sure what I will be doing today. I still need to put all the Christmas decor away in the storage room. Right now it is all sitting in the basement family room. For some reason I just can't get the energy to get it all put away. It must be that my storage room is a crawl space that I can stand up in but have to go up steps to enter. Please excuse the mess as I will be organizing it when I put the Christmas bins back.<br />

<br />
Getting the storage room organized and purged is another one of my Winter projects. After looking at this I think I will probably rest today.<br />

I sure wish that I would have done it earlier. It took me two weekends just to get everything down to the basement and there it sits. Slowly I have been getting the rooms back in order. Let's just say that every room has just a little bit of normal but not all the way.<br />
<br />
I have decided to add some lighter colors in the family room. We have dark furniture and with the room on the North side of the house it doesn't get much natural light. I started by replacing some pillows on the loveseat. Here is the before picture.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I kept the two dark brown pillow and replaced the other three with lighter colors. For now I just kinda of threw the pillows on there. I will do some more tweaking when I get the rest of the decor done. <br />

<br />
I did get the fireplace mantel back to normal. With this decor I can easily add some Spring to it.<br />

This past weekend I decided to get my craft room cleaned out. I had been using it as a catch all room ever since we started renovating the master closet. It was also a good room to store all my normal decor when I started the Christmas decorating. I was going to take some pictures of the room before I removed some things but I was just too embarrassed. I am still a little embarrassed to show it now but I decided to. Before I started you could only walk in about three feet. At least the floor is clear.<br />

One thing that we did was get a new light installed. It is nice to have a hubby who is an electrician. There used to be a ceiling fan in this room. I forgot to get a before picture but the guest bedroom has the same fan so I am going to show you that. It is a little hard to see the true color of the blades. They are a cherry wood color. Let's just say that it didn't look good in this room. You really don't need a ceiling fan in here either as this room is on the North side of the house and stays cool in the Summer if you keep the blinds closed.<br />

In the first picture of my craft room you can't help but notice the natural wood dresser. This was my parents and it has a beautiful carved flowers and vines on it.<br />

Unfortunately it has seen better days. The top has a large crack going across the whole thing and one of the sides also has a crack along the bottom panel. I plan to fill in the cracks and paint it. I will be be painting it white and glazing it so it looks antiqued. Once that is done it will go with the rest of the furniture that I use in this room. This is one of my many projects that I hope to get done this winter.<br />

I had posted a previous set that I liked but my hubby didn't. I went ahead and ordered the new comforter set and it got delivered yesterday. Today I found another bedroom set that the hubby approved. I will be getting the bed, 2 nightstands, the long dresser and mirror. We don't need the tall dresser since we put a closet systems in with drawers and shelves.<br />

I think it will go with the new comforter set that I got. <br />

Now we just need to get rolling on getting the new carpet for the bedrooms upstairs and I can order the new furniture. I need to get my craft room in order before we can get the carpet as right now it is a catch all room. I plan on working in the room this weekend. I am bound and determined to get it all done this weekend even if it kills me. southern seazonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03263858149633014458noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022133200984083486.post-34796002798612434082018-12-29T15:04:00.002-08:002018-12-29T15:04:33.675-08:00A New Year DreamingFor 2019 I am wanting to get three things done to our upstairs. First is to get my craft room organized and downsized. Second is get new carpet for all 4 of the bedrooms. Third is to get new bedroom furniture for the master bedroom. My first goal is the one that will definitely get done. The second goal might not happen. The third is the one I want the most. I have been living with this furniture for 15 years now and I need a change.<br />
<br />
My current furniture is oversized and dark. The way that our bedroom is designed all of the furniture doesn't fit. We had to put one of the dressers in front of the window. Since we re-designed the master closet with drawers we don't need it anymore.<br />
<br />
These pictures are when we lived in our previous home. I just wanted to show the color and design of the furniture. I didn't want to take pictures today since my bedroom is mess right now. If I happen to get the furniture I will have some before pictures taken.<br />

<br />
This is the armoire. It wouldn't fit in the bedroom so I have it in the formal living room.<br />
<br />

We have a king size bed. It is actually a four poster bed. You can remove the posts and the metal frame. This is a picture I took of our dog Kolby. He likes to hide in the pillows.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here is the bedroom set I would like to get. I would get two end tables and eliminate the tall dresser.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I would also add this bench that matches the set to put at the end of the bed.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I was thinking of getting this comforter set. Even if I can't get new bedroom furniture I would at least like to get this bedding.<br />
<br />

I will be starting to work on the craft room in a couple of weeks. I still need to get all the Christmas decor taken down and put away. That usually takes me a couple of weekends to get it done. southern seazonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03263858149633014458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022133200984083486.post-85137994965060267292018-12-25T07:26:00.003-08:002018-12-25T07:26:46.131-08:00Merry Christmas Merry Christmas from my home to yours and a Happy New Year.<br />

As you come in you are greeted with my ledge in the entry. I love to decorate this for the seasons.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next we will take a step down into the formal living room where I have the tree.<br />
<br />

On the bench I put a throw, wreath and some presents to coordinate with the Santa.<br />

I wanted to do some garland around the front door but didn't get around to it. At least I got the greenery drops under the lights.<br />

I didn't get much done as I was running out of time and energy. I did manage to get the tree up and decorated. I also added a few items around the fireplace.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used all my woodland items since I already have a woodland theme in the basement. This is my skinny 7 foot tree that I like to use in tight places.<br />
<br />

<br />
I got this woodland Santa at HomeGoods this year. I just couldn't resist buying him.<br />
<br />

<br />
On the other side of the fireplace I added another small tree and some faux fur presents.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I added another woodland Santa, a small tree and some deer on the coffee table.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On one of the end tables I added another Santa. I already had the antler bowl filled with the natural balls and greenery on the table top.<br />
<br />

<br />
I was planning on doing more to the mantel but like I said before I was just to pooped out last weekend. The basement is still a work in progress for decorating. After the holidays I am going to get all the decorating done and hopefully lots of organizing through out the house.<br />
<br />

If we are still in this house next year I plan on getting more Christmas decorating done in the basement. We are planning on selling our business and possibly moving out of state if all goes well.southern seazonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03263858149633014458noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022133200984083486.post-31858497771075180552018-12-17T06:07:00.001-08:002018-12-18T06:30:14.192-08:00Believe Christmas MantelI usually do more of a gold and bronze theme in the family room but this year I went with the classic red, white and greens. I went a little more simple this year so I could get more done. I started with the wreath and then added the greenery on the mantel. I just added my Believe sign (which I added hooks to so I can hang stockings from it), three candle holders and a jar with ornaments. The greenery has lights and all the candles are battery operated so when they turn on at night it makes a pretty scene. The bell that I have hanging from the greenery is from my childhood. It plays Silent Night. My mother would always hang it in a doorway and I loved to pull the string over and over again.<br />

<br />
On the table to the right I replaced the lampshade with this white and plaid trimmed shade, added a wreath to the metal work on the wall, added my candy balls, a sign and a snow globe.<br />
<br />

I didn't know where to put the Nativity this year so I placed it on my trunk under the windows. This was my mother's. She always put in on the hutch in the dining room every Christmas. I am not sure how old it is but I know that is is older than me. So it is over 52 years old. It has a light inside and plays Silent Night.<br />

One of these years I am going to revamp the manger. I would like to make it bigger. On the coffee table I put my new snow globe with some greenery and an battery operated candle in a tray.<br />
<br />

<br />
The snow globe lights up and blows the snow around. I tried to get a picture here of the snow blowing around. It is really fun to watch. It blows the snow every few seconds.<br />

I started with the kitchen table. I got some new plates from Pier 1 that I thought would work well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sGf6Diz1tfo/XBVVVvy2a9I/AAAAAAAAItM/9emhYy-Z98QWfS5CeZSZjMhzxrdm9jgywCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7730.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="1600" height="478" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sGf6Diz1tfo/XBVVVvy2a9I/AAAAAAAAItM/9emhYy-Z98QWfS5CeZSZjMhzxrdm9jgywCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_7730.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I used my small baking Santa for the table center piece with some real candy in the jars.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2m3OseHRd08/XBVVnqYK1OI/AAAAAAAAItU/M74rzIVp7P8i4tEmqfwIr9ut9I_h-8woACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7731.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1384" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2m3OseHRd08/XBVVnqYK1OI/AAAAAAAAItU/M74rzIVp7P8i4tEmqfwIr9ut9I_h-8woACLcBGAs/s640/IMG_7731.JPG" width="552" /></a><br />
<br />
The salad plates that I got have four different scenes. This one is a candy theme. I also got the black and white and red and white striped plated to use under the salad plates. I used my black plaid napkins over solid red ones and added jingle bells napkin rings. I also added a red, white and green berry pick tucked under the napkin ring. My candy wine glasses work perfect on the table. <br />

The gingerbread man ties in with the baking/candy theme.<br />

The last plate is a Christmas tree.<br />

<br />
Here is the overall look.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Just a few touches on the wall and shelves behind the table.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-inkODk9GKNE/XBVXOgnEKvI/AAAAAAAAIuA/lPJ5YKMMgGk1PJxd2cqstyZo036x1jp-QCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7734.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1217" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-inkODk9GKNE/XBVXOgnEKvI/AAAAAAAAIuA/lPJ5YKMMgGk1PJxd2cqstyZo036x1jp-QCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_7734.JPG" width="486" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
For the chandelier I added greenery with red, white and green beads and berries and a few jingle bells.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n1koo4hDajg/XBVXehITsrI/AAAAAAAAIuM/jW7YfIQWykcxCLBH5CrNt_vjkgXbkoMjwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7736.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1400" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n1koo4hDajg/XBVXehITsrI/AAAAAAAAIuM/jW7YfIQWykcxCLBH5CrNt_vjkgXbkoMjwCLcBGAs/s640/IMG_7736.JPG" width="558" /></a></div>
<br />
I added my Merry Christmas sign and mailbox with greenery on top of fridge.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Behind the sink I added my new baking Santa, a tree decorated with small utensils, measuring spoons and some candy picks. I also thought my eggnog sign worked out well in this corner.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
