Getting Settled

We are loving living in our new house!  There is so much room and it is beautiful yet comfortable and cozy. 

On Sunday, we took down our original window coverings in the master and mother-in-law bedrooms. I know, I know...it was such a waste to buy new ones, the paper ones were just fine...

...and installed the room-darkening roller shades which we had ordered.  We'll worry about curtains at a later date.

We also installed black wood blinds in the game room.  I must not have a pic, I'll upload one for you later.

Shane went back to work on Monday and I have been here at the house unpacking and sweeping the floors....and sweeping the floors...and sweeping the floors.

The good news is that I can see the dirt and promptly remove it from the floor.  The bad news is that I feel like my middle name is "sweeps-the-floors."

I think I've dust mopped every. single. day.
Here are a few pics of how things look at this point:




This is how the couch looks-Minnie is completely loving it.

Today, the iron guys came back to install the iron for the game room window...

It looks so much better with the iron and the cast stone trim above the garage doors.

Inside, they also installed the new wine room door.

Here's the original door and fleur-de-lis...

Isn't the new one nicer?


Sadly, it has a chipped tip, which will have to be fixed.

This weekend some friends came to visit and brought us a housewarming gift:

...and we've stocked the wine room a bit...

In the backyard, the cable line has been buried and this morning some land guys came to fix the swell where our land drains on the neighbors (you can see them in the background), and the stucco guys came to work on the outdoor kitchen.
 This afternoon the stucco guy was back to apply the color coat of stucco; he will finish up bright and early tomorrow.  Tonight, Shane will install the stainless steel doors underneath.

Tomorrow we will have more changes-I'm going to get the accent chair that goes with our couch & our pool table will be delivered, so look for more pictures tomorrow night.

Now I'm just going to relax a bit on the couch.

That is if Minnie will share with me.
