Okay, so I'm
extremely frustrated ... does blogger not support mac?? I can't do anything that requires a checked box (and that includes uploading photos to my blog.) So I'm pissed off. And so I can't upload my absolutely amazing photos of our new home's transformation.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
That's all i can say. It's worth all those wows.
The new floors look stunning. My Russian Olive wall is huggable. (even if Jenn thinks it looks like .... well this is a public posting, and I don't think I can talk about that here.) Trust me, it's classy.
I have lists and lists of things to do ... and that's only the immediate ones, not all of my ideas for how to make our fantastic new house even more wonderful and classy and updated and most importantly ... ours!
Carolynn is coming tomorrow to paint polka dots inside the window seat of the girls' room. Jenn and Courtney (Jonathan's wife) are also coming. I'll just point to the list.
Don (Steven's dad) was here today painting (thus the huggable Russian Olive wall) and he'll be here tomorrow to finish the living room ceiling and the new walls.
Right this minute, Steven is hooking up our washer and dryer. They looked fine in our old laundry room, but somehow in this painted, new floors, amazingcan'tbelieveit'smine laundry room, they look yucky. Our new-used fridge is coming tomorrow morning. I won't have to go out on the back porch to get food out of the fridge. Now I just wish the dishwasher was working .... Sheesh. I'm just never satisfied, am I?
So, in case anyone is looking for ideas for housewarming gifts, here's the list:
New stacking washer and dryer
New working dishwasher
Daphne Odora plant for the front yard (and maybe for the back too)
Lowe's gift cards
Gardening gloves for the family
Subscription to Oregon Home magazine
Gardening books
IKEA gift cards
and, as always CASH or CHECK is accepted!!!!
