Dining Room progress

 Hey guys!  How is everyone's new year going?  I'm getting back in the swing of things after the Christmas break.  

I love having off for the holidays but I never get as much done as I would like to.  

For example...the dining room.  We really had good intentions to have it ready to go so when our table gets delivered it will be ready.  But, life got in the way.  



Here  it is before new paint with the floor sanded.  Toast always likes to help.  As long as there is sun to lay in ;)
 

It worked out that we didn't get as far as we planned because our table has been delayed again.  We now expect it by the end of the month.  I hope it actually shows up this time.   




Nate is a rockstar and finished the floors.  They look amazing!  I painted and now we are still working on finishing the molding, building the cabinet I bought for in here.  Then we need to hang the curtains and decorate.

I really hope we have it finished by the end of January.  We'll see!

For now we have the floor refinished, the walls painted, and the grandfather clock got moved in and fixed so that is ticking away.  

This is what it looks like now:


(I'm building the cabinet I bought for here.  It's coming along nicely!)

I am very happy with how it is going to turn out!  I just can't wait to see it finished.

What do you think so far??  Do your projects ever get done on time?  I could definitely use some tips.

XOXO,

Heather

Things I Think I LOVE

 Happy New Year!!!  Have you made your resolutions?  Hopefully we can all stick to them this year!  

Today I am sharing things that have been on my mind(or in my shopping cart) lately.  Here are a few things that I'm pretty sure I love :)

1. Leggings - These are so soft!  They are a bit on the thin side but with a tunic top - like this one - They are perfect for staying home and staying comfy!  


 2. Central Vacuum covers - as you know, we have been working on a dining room renovation.  The central vac outlet in this room has never worked and was old and ugly.  I ordered these replacement covers and now I want them for the whole house!  So much better!

3. The one and only Ivan - My niece recommended this book for me.  I haven't started it yet, but it is next on my list!  



4. Cabinet - I ordered this cabinet for dining room storage.  I haven't put it together yet.  I will let you know my final thoughts on it when I post the dining room reveal!  I did order these knobs to replace the ones that come with it.  


What are you loving so far in 2021??


XOXO,

Heather
