We moved, finally!

We moved on Monday, Nov 19. I thought we didn't have much stuff but it took three movers, who had a big truck, more than ten hours to get the job done. Needless to say that we're way over budget for the moving cost.

The house is still being renovated. But it's looking nice. The kitchen was done two days ago, and the wood flooring was done yesterday. The two chandeliers, one Nelson Bubble Lamp, the other Hundi Lantern, in the dining room and entryway were also installed. They look terrific.

We still haven't figured out where to place the red Chinese cabinet, which is huge. We'd like to make the front room a library. Our current book shelves don't go well with the dark wood floor, so we have to get rid of them and get dark or white book shelves.

The railing between the kitchen and the family room was done yesterday. Wood frame with wrought iron bars. It looks beautiful and matches the railing along the stairs. We have to find a cool wood mantlepiece for the fireplace. It can be costly.

Called the tree service and set up an appt for tomorrow morning. A guy who does pool fences came over to give an estimate this afternoon. He seems good and his price is reasonable.

There's so much to do......
