New furniture! (and other fun things)
So our furniture shopping trip was successful this weekend - we went to American Furniture Warehouse (not realizing everything was on sale - bonus) and found an entire living room set (sofa, loveseat, chair) and a dining room (table, chairs, and buffet/side-table). Best of all, they delivered Monday, just two days after we picked everything out. Double bonus.

The only problem was, we had a ton of stuff that belonged elsewhere (the nursery, for example) in our living room, waiting for the carpet installers to come (they are here as I'm typing this on Tuesday). So we had to move everything out of the living and dining rooms (much of it into the nursery), and today, had to clear out the nursery and the guest room for the carpet guys (good thing I got up early and got it done, they showed up by 8:00am). I have no idea how long it will take them to do this (it can't take that long, can it?), as there are a lot of other things on my list to get done today. However, instead of doing those things (raking leaves before it snows again, early voting, making my halloween costume), what I really want to do is get in the nursery and build the crib and install our closet organizer (which has been taking up space in our garage since our last trip to Home Depot).

I will take pictures of the nursery after we get the carpet and furniture in there, so it might be this weekend at some point. Above, you can see a picture of our new dining room table (set with six chairs, but we got eight for those big dinners). Click on it for some more views and pics of our living room as well.

Next on the agenda will be to hang pictures and do some decorative painting in the nursery. Oh yeah, and finish flooring the stairs and install that bannister. What a PITA. Lord knows when I'll have time to install trim (or money to pay for it)...
