We rarely have company and when I have family parties, there's so many of us that I use paper plates. As for the window frame, no, not new. I've had it for many years. It's shown up in other blog pictures of my living room. You are a rare woman if you don't have problems with jeans fitting "just right". Did you know the average woman tries on 15 pairs of jeans before finding the right one?! For me (and I have a feeling, a lot of women), it's not the size...it's the particular fit of the brand and style. I've worn the same size for years too, but all jeans are cut differently. This 2nd room that I was showing in this post was Phil's room. I call it my "office" but it's simply a beautiful room. There's a TV in there and Phil's memory shelf, as well.

I've been a bad blogger lately...life.<br /><br />Your Goodwill finds are fantastic! I love the plates, how many did you get? And is that a new window frame? I may have forgotten, I am such a ditz lately. I don't have a problem with jeans, I am always in the same size and I'm not fussy about how they look. As long as they zip, I'm happy!<br /><br />Your rooms are looking great! Is the 2nd room an office?

My kids are still little, though, so I'm sure I have a lot of slamming ahead of me, especially since their dad is kind of a slammer himself. :) I love your Goodwill finds, it's all much better than anything I ever see at Goodwill!Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-83205861722319106342013-08-14T17:31:15.994-07:002013-08-14T17:31:15.994-07:00Silas doesn't slam doors closed, he slams them...Silas doesn't slam doors closed, he slams them open.

I always bought mine at Penneys, but they discontinued the brand when they change things around. I did stock up on some before they got rid of them though.
