OMG!!! It's beautiful, I love it

Thanks everyone.


Mdiver put lots of time and effort into getting this room to look this amazing. He is the best.

Now I look forward to finding items from our trip to make it warm, homey and full of "US".

mdiver said:

Oh dear, actually laughed out loud there.


Your new room looks plush. Loving all the laptops with the org on.

Time to christen both sofa's and the chair.

If there is one thing this house has its bandwidth and access

wooWHOO! I appreciate that little demolition!

by the way, I hope after all the trouble of getting your order you at least got reimbursed for the shipping charges and the chair for free.

chair yes! shipping no.

mdiver said:

Only half of the chair off actually... if I want to get technical.
I still plan on writing a letter to formally complain to the higher ups.

I purchased expensive Brown Jordan patio furniture. This was in the spring. Put it on a credit card. I didn't get it delivered until FALL. Was making payments on it all summer long. This was 22 years ago. Learned alot of lessons on that one!
Next time, I'll charge interest on the $1200 dollar loan.

The best thing about it though.. as I sit here I know that we can enjoy our furniture and it is 100% paid for..no interest. No buy now pay in four years crap.
No worries...ahhh!!!

On second thoughts the best thing is that it is leather and wipe clean

mdiver said:

Very classy Love it!



It'd obvious Val had a hand in this

Thanks Petra. When I first arrived that huge TV was hanging in the window on a black metal bracket with wires every where. I wish I had taken the "true" before pics.
Oh and here is my new rug. Still sorting out the pillows/cushions.

I need to show you the hall/entry way before and afters though that area is
still a work in progress. Waiting for carpet on stairs and artwork and since pics were taken we have switched all of the brass fixtures in the house to stainless steel.

Wow guys....the place looks phenomenal.... really.....

Thank you Kenny

It has been a lot of work especially for Phil. we have been trying to make a fresh start for both of us.

He has been wonderful...he has put up new ceilings for lighting and taken up carpets and stripped the floors for waxing and everything in between.
Right now he is doing some work to the shower wall. The plumber is coming in on Friday to sort out our shower issues. We will soon have two shower heads so we can shower together more often.

HA!!! TMI I know..

shanti0608 said:

Everything looks great!
Now, for his next project, he can landscape the yard. It's never too early to start on a design plan....
The fountain will go here. Honey, do you still have that concrete mixer?

xplnyrslf said:

Ha!!

You read my mind!

Except I have learned that I will get no where with that project if I keep calling it a yard. I think you will find that the proper term here is garden.
I just go along with it though it makes no sense.

After coming back from wedding/honeymoon, I will be in the garden planning out what needs to be done first.
Actually the apple tree needs pruning first that is for sure.

Any new news on your front?

shanti0608 said:

THAT IS SO WEIRD.



i don't think i'll ever get over saying backyard. IT IS IN THE BACK! it has that NAME for a REASON!
