Getting Things Done

Over the weekend, we had a very long list of projects to tackle.  Our rugs arrived last week (we wound up ordering from Overstock for a variety of reasons, mainly the Flor samples didn't feel that soft), and we needed to finally take care of hanging a lot of things, like mirrors. 

 The to-do list

 

New rug!

More pictures and posts will be forthcoming, but we also went to Ikea and bought a new dining room table.  The table is enormous.  I wanted to find a table that was small and extended to fit 8-10 people.  Those don't exist.  So we bought a table that is larger than our old table, and extends to take up our entire dining room.  I've already ordered new protective fabric for the tabletop (Mom) and fabric to make a tablecloth with because they don't make that many tablecloths that are 140" long. 

 

 

 

Go big or go home!

 

The dining room is 13 feet long.  The table takes up almost all of it.  

We also bought a medicine cabinet for the bathroom.  We went back and forth on hanging the old ugly kitchen cabinet that had been in the bathroom, but it was really deep and I was worried that over the sink, it would just be too in-your-face. 

 

The cubbies on the side will hold small square containers that will hold various bathroom supplies.

 We still need to find a place for the soap dispenser.

 More to come!
