Isn't it amazing how long we can keep going when it is all pure joy? <br /><br />And to have a fireplace now, that is wonderful. It is one thing our new house does not have so we're thinking some gas logs by next winter in case we lose electricity sometime. <br /><br />Enjoy it all, Melanie, I know cooking is going to so much fun now.Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-21417020295392221412017-02-01T13:18:34.169-08:002017-02-01T13:18:34.169-08:00Oh my gosh, Melanie, it looks incredible, you must...Oh my gosh, Melanie, it looks incredible, you must be beyond delighted!!

Sometimes companies are spread out on jobs and pop in here and there. Like when they are waiting for paint to dry.<br /><br />I agree with going slow decorating. I have often thought about what I'd do if I decided to take a picture down, spackle, and then wonder what color paint it was. I'm smarter now and have a record of all my paint colors but not many here at this house. Hubby used some of those stick on hooks by 3M to try out pics for the bathroom he designed at the lake. Nice and temporary.<br /><br /> I'm glad all of this worked out so well. No more having to escape to coffee shops! lol!<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-64387266732434721352017-01-23T21:13:44.366-08:002017-01-23T21:13:44.366-08:00I can't believe it's all done already and ...I can't believe it's all done already and mostly put back together!
