This week is flying by so fast that the days seem to be running into each other and here it is Friday already.
Hubby and I had a late afternoon meeting at the house yesterday. This shot is from the back of the home.
In the family room – The ceiling will be open to the second floor.
Up through the trusses in the family room. The roof is going up quick and the shingles were just delivered.
The balcony underway.
A pic of the paddle boat next door – I like the calm summer feel.
Allow me to fill you in on a little secret…
In all of the years we’ve been together (nearly 12, going on 10 years of marriage) today was a first. Hubby and I split ways at the movies, we’ve never done that before. He’s my Terminator expert and I’m…well not so much a Terminator enthusiast as I don’t like anything remotely scary. So he enjoyed the Terminator on opening day while I shopped.
I went to Home Goods and TJ Maxx just to do a little browsing. I found canisters that caused me to swoon and if they had been the right shade of green or even brown I would have had a hard time leaving them on the shelf.
Aw, this made me think of hubby across the way enjoying his show.
Loved the multi color plates and they inspired me to mix it up whenever I can get back into my pottery studio.
Here’s an inspirational metal piece. I like the idea of adding mustard and yellow hues with the green and brown into the kitchen.
I got so excited when I saw this pear!
That I pulled out my trusty fabric color swatches to see if he was the right color.
It was a no go.
I fancied this box and tried to think of a spot where it could go.
It was love at first site with this pear table.
Especially The top
By the time I finished looking over all the pretties it was time to head over to the movies to pick up my dearest.
I only had to wait a few minutes while happy thoughts swam through my head from all the fun I had.
Soon hubby came from the theater with a smile and excitement from his show.
As he got into the car he said “I told you – I’ll be back”
And that ends our amazing day.
It’s going to be a full weekend with the builder and shopping for more stuff for the house.
Hope you’re enjoying your Friday and I wish you a wonderful weekend!
Debbie. Looks like a fun day…and man, your house is really taking shape!
Get the freezer on the bottom. Really. NO comparison. More useable room. Don’t have to bend waaay down to look in the cramped bottom shelf/drawers of the fridge. You use the fridge more than the freezer every day. I love it!
Thank you Linda. I’m still thinking about it. When I saw yours it made me think even more. Thank you for the nudge in that direction. Sometimes going in a totally new direction is a struggle and in the end we wonder how we ever lived without it. Time will tell as I’m still looking and thinking. Thank you again.
I almost bought that ceramic pear in Home Goods! Also, I saw those same canisters in a beautiful red–I love them too!
Also loved that pear, I have a lot of blue and yellow in my kitchen, gonna have to see if it’s in our store down here. Also loved the canisters, especially the blue ones – loved the shape and style.
That’s so funny Jen, if that pear would have been my color, it would have definitely been mine.
I did see I think just one red canister and some brown but not too many the other day. I just love that style so much too Mary Ellen especially the blue as well.
