Wait till you see the silver tree this year!

It's beginning to look a lot...

Like a retro Xmas! Thrift stores are putting out their Xmas stuff.

If you rake it...

The deer will lay in your piles of leaves. The doe is closest and the buck is in another pile behind the tree if you look close.

Hey Squirrel

Save some for me!

Happy Halloween!

Emily and Catherine mugging for the camera!

Well we still have the floor to do but painting is complete. Along with new paint we have all new LED lighting and new island pendants.

Primer Complete!

Weekend Finds

Found some treasures for the house this weekend in my travels. This 60's display case is lighted so we can display some of our Steuben and the glass bottle is the right colors for the kitchen.

Heading Home

Went over the cool suspension bridge on our way out of town.

Our little twins are all grown up

Accepting leaf raking applications

Added another brass boat

To our crazy collection today from the Cohocton Fall Festival.

Dining by Sunset

Enjoyed crab cakes seaside tonight

Charleston!

Made it to Susan's!

Floor choices

We are planning on keeping the cabinets light so I am thinking a darker floor. We can mix and match colors in different sizes also (12x12 & 12x36). This is a marmoleum click tile.

This is the before

We are getting ready to paint the kitchen. It should look a lot brighter in a week. Spackling is done, tomorrow I start caulking. This by the way is the new iPhone panorama mode.

Retro Wall Plate Covers

Beck made some cool retro wall switch covers for the mud room today.

Naples Grape Festival

Wall color is done.

We finished the ceiling and the wall paint the last couple of days. Still need to paint the doors and trim.

Next we have to tackle the floor which will be chiseling up the old tile and leveling the floor.

Still painting

Did I mention what a pain it is to paint knotty pine ceilings? Coat 3, next ceiling paint goes on.

And they all lived happily ever after...

...in Burke, where it snows nine months out of the year and hails the other three..but the pets are amazing!

The Battle

Toothless and Hiccup engage The Red Death in an epic battle.

The Red Death

The bad guy makes his entrance.

Toothless to the Rescue

After Hiccup wouldn't kill the dragon, Toothless came to his rescue when the clan turned on him.

The Dragon Games Begin!

As the second act started so did the Dragon Games.

But not all dragons are bad

Toothless learned how to play nice

And then...

A Nadder attacked

The dragons are here!

A Gronklus Maximus was the first to appear.

iPhone 5

My pictures should look a lot nicer now.

Our mud room has the measles

Painting is coming along. Walls fixed and first coat of primer is on.

Hey there

The deer are enjoying the cold weather as much as I am.

Harvesting the herbs

Time to start drying and freezing some our herbs. We had a great harvest from our new garden boxes this year.

Redecorating

As we have been collecting our vintage clocks, we finally got enough to go over our bookcases. We couldn't figure out what to do with that wall and this seems perfect.

Our 2nd grader!

Inside a balloon

We got to go inside a hot air ballon!

Look at her climb!

She made it to the top and rang the bell.

Fun at the NYS Fair

Well our set just doubled

So the old lady who owned these items got my number from the store I bought them from and offered me the rest if I kept the set together. I now have lots of black walnut with every receipt and artist dating back to the 50/60's on almost every piece!

She also has several pieces of handmade Danish furniture I will be looking at tomorrow. What a score.

Today's Haul

Found an entire collection of black walnut pieces today for a steal.
