Dining Room & Reading Room

Whew! I'm exhausted today. I think the move has finally caught up with me. Last night we spent the evening cleaning our apartment. We are officially moved out - handed in our keys and all. We are 90% done moving in and unpacking the house as well. We have some more curtains to put up, but that is about it. Of course, we will never be done with all of the projects we have on our list, but I guess you could say that we are officially moved in. Here are some more pictures of the progress we have made unpacking and decorating.

Dining Room


It's finally feeling like home. :)

We still want a size appropriate rug and eventually a new dining set (not that we don't love and appreciate our garage sale find, Mom), but this is works for now. I like that I can finally use my cabinet as a buffet. It will come in handy for serving guests if we ever have family or friends over for real meals.

We have used this bookshelf as a visual division between the living room and dining room. I thought our floors were going to be nearly as dark as this wood, but boy was I wrong. We LOVE our refinished floors by the way. Totally worth it.

Reading Room
This room was one of the reasons we bought this house. It is so nice to just sit down and enjoy cup of coffee and a good book while looking out the windows. The pictures were another garage sale find by Jason while I was in San Fran. I think they really brighten the room up.

Another view. The book shelf only holds about 1/2 of our books. Eventually, Jason wants to build a new shelving unit that holds more. I am still debating if I want to bring the piano from my parents' house over. If I did, I think I would put it where the book shelf is now and move the books to the opposite wall.

Don't I look comfortable?

Okay, I'm headed to bed soon. I have a 6 am flight to Atlanta tomorrow to meet with a customer. Another long day - and days - ahead of me. I'm looking forward to a quiet Memorial day weekend.

Wow...your nest is looking really good. I love sun rooms. All the hard work really pays off in the end. Part of our new furniture comes in today! So our den will look different too!
