Finishing touches 1-24-08

The temporary home base is pretty much finished…at least on the inside. The drapes for the living room are perfect and really finish off the room, the inexpensive lamps I found worked out great, even though there was a huge dent in the base of the floor lamp, but you can’t really see it so I didn’t worry about it. There would be no guarantee that the next box wouldn’t have something worse wrong.

The curio cabinet is lovely and Larry anchored it to the wall before I filled it up…earthquakes and grandsons are equal threats! The light in the case is inadequate but my crackle glass collection looks great anyways.

The mattress swap went off without a hitch yesterday so now the guest room is finished. We got some pictures hung and a lot will get packed back up, they just won’t work in this house.

Larry is working on the garage still and putting up shelves in the laundry room and a closet. We got our library cards today and I checked out books on Xeriscaping. That will be our next project some time later this year.

Blog entries are probably going to get a little thin unless we take a field trip or something. I’ll try to check in a least once a week or so.
