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.


xo, Amber

  1. It's all looking so wonderful Amber! Congratulations on your 3 month Anniversary!
    Love that you are able to enjoy the wild life too. We always have deer here to enjoy - just had 7 run out from the apple orchard next to the house the other day. I'm always running out to shoo them across the road before a car comes flying down the road. :)
    Curious, where in PA is your SIL from?
