A few of my new favorite things!!

It is a process to get settled.  Lots of unpacking and figuring where things go.   We have a formal dining room, so that meant we needed a new breakfast table.  I wanted a bench since you can fit lots of little bodies on one.  When I saw this table I knew I had to have it!  Overstock.com is my new favorite place.  Who can beat $3 shipping! 

We have also been busy with new window coverings.  The previous owners were an older couple so the house was barely lived in.  Bonus for us, very clean.  The down side...everything is white...white walls, white window covering ( and UGLY), white carpet.  Paint is in the future, but for now, I am putting some color in with drapes. 

New table and chocolate brown drapes on the patio door! 

We also got a new TV.  We had the last one for 8 years, so we figured it was time for an upgrade....all I can say is wow! 

My most favorite room is the laundry/mud room.   It is so perfect to come into a room like this and not into my kitchen, like our old house.  Of course, I needed some hooks and some bins for shoes. I went with green... I got green plastic bins for random stuff and even a new green laundry basket.  Even hung some pictures since I come in and out of this room ALL DAY!  But, I love it!  (And will love it even more when my new whirlpools arrive next week...ahhhh...)

More to come later....
