It has been absolutely nuts-o the last five days! Contractors finally came over and put our new precious hardwoods in, and I swear, it feels like we moved.
We ripped the carpets out ourselves which was painful. There ended up being this awful vinyl flooring under the carpets - I was so relieved to have it covered up by glowing hardwoods the next day!
The contractors were at our house for over 8 hours. I tried to work from home that day but it sounded like a construction zone - it was a headache.
But entirely worth it!
In the meantime, I was able to move a few of my grandmother's antiques into my house. She is moving into an assisted living home, and these beautiful pieces mean everything to me! It was so much work getting them loaded up, and moved into the the house, but I swear they are right where they are meant to be!
This book case is called a "lawyer's bookcase." The panels slide open and sit on top of the books, it's so fragile and unique. I filled it with her old books, dating bak to 1925.
By far my favorite piece though is the china cabinet. My grandmother kept all of her china in this for as long as I can remember (literally), it's adjusting comforatbaly to it's new home in my dining room. I also grabbed a bit her gold dinnerware glasses, all so fragile and delicate. They are so beautiful in the china cabinet- my heart is so thrilled.
Pete loves it too :)
What a week it has been. Hope you are all having a fabulous week - happy hump day!
