A Beautiful Weekend

Wow - what a beautiful weekend!  Saturday we walked/hiked through a park near our new house called Duff Park.  The walk started along a small river and then we took a left turn up some hills through the woods and back down to the river.  It was so nice to be outside for a change.

And since we were right down the road from the house we took a drive there.  We were shocked to see that they had finished all of the brick and siding.  We peeked in through the windows and our kitchen cabinets are installed as well as some of the hardwood (I'll post inside pictures later in the week when we walk through with the painter).

Decisions...Decisions...

Alright, so I can't decide which area rug I want to put in the dining room.  The walls have chair rail moulding about 1/3 of the way up the wall.  I'm thinking of painting a beige color above the chair rail and a very muted blue below.  The furniture is a rustic restored pine wood.  Here are the choices so far.  Let me know what you think...

Amity Rug

Arcadian Area Rug I Beige

Arcadian Area Rug I Brown

Chaparral Area Rug

Dappled Area Rug

Elaine Area Rug

Serenity I Rug

Making Headway

Sorry that I haven't updated this in quite some time.  The progress on our house is tremendous.  We are expected to close on November 2nd and will hopefully move in on November 12th (after we pick paint for the walls...ugh).
