Square Foot by Square Foot

I forget so quickly how much

we have accomplished since we moved into our home

and became Southerner's.

My SIL reminded me yesterday that it was

our 3 month anniversary. 

3 months... wow.

It has been so comfortable 

to us/for us, it feels like

we've been here longer.

It's pretty amazing when you put it back into 

perspective.

It's easy to forget accomplishments

when you're living through 

 a whole house renovation.

We had our first "real" visitors yesterday so 

I made Brunch.

Two kinds of Quiche

Chocolat and Butter Croissants

Muffins

Bacon

Fresh Fruits

~Delicious~

Our company was Bruce's sister and husband, visiting

from Pennsylvania.

They vacationed down in the Gulf 

looking for a place to call home

when they sell the farm up north.

It was wonderful having them over for the day.

We drove around town so they could see 

the beautiful homes Cindy had

spotted on Google Maps

then went to pick cotton

and pecans.

Our day went incredibly and sadly too fast.

Surely by their next visit, 

the guest cottage will have been built 

and we can have them for a longer stay.

We were looking at photos last night and 

I forgot what we started with...

There's still lots to do like

kitchen cabinets around the stove and sink.

We are having the hardest time deciding on those!

We were going to color match our appliances

then do some light distressing

but then we came up with a solution for the floor

which is going to be VERY cool so that changed

the cabinetry decision to something

completely different.

Then we have to rethink countertops.

I guess we will wait to fork over those green backs

till we have made the decision on all of it.

All of that is overwhelming sometimes,  so today,

I will pull some of my boxes out and 

enjoy my Saturday playing with 

my treasures and hanging pictures.

I think I will "suggest" to B that he head into town 

to pick me up some "jewelry".

The ceilings are crying for their crown. 

{and so am I}

Enjoy your weekend.

This little girl came to visit again

this morning.

One of the twins got to see her.
