I picked up the other one and it said $20, which I thought was a great price. Then I saw that was for both, which was even better. When they rang them up, the clerk said, they were 50% off. So this darling pair of Fitz and Floyd chickens was only $10! </span></div>

Most battery operated lights have large battery packs and these were no exception. I tried putting them under the runner, but they were too big. I came up with the idea of hiding it under the table. With hubby's help, I was able to put the wire between the leaves of the table. Then we put velcro and attached the battery pack to the underside of the table. </span></div>

It still brings me pleasure to set a beautiful table for friends and family and sometimes, just for me! Here are some of my favorites from the past. </span></div>

I scouted every Home Goods for a second set with no luck and eventually found a set on Ebay for 3x as much as I paid at Home Goods, of course!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Before the renovations we had a typical early 80's ranch, but inside it had a few quirks. The two windows on the far right of the house were not usable. The house looks like a single story ranch, but b/c of the hill, the garage was dug out and placed under the master bedroom/bath. The original builders wanted the windows all level so those two right windows are partly upstairs and partly in the garage. That meant the window went through the floors from the upstairs to the downstairs. A box was built around the windows to keep people from falling through to the garage. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This dining table & chairs were used by my husband's grandmother (Mama) for years on their farm in Memphis. With no air conditioning and the hot temperatures, the shellack finish on the chairs melted in the summer, trapping lint and thread from everyone's clothing. I refinished the chairs when we brought the set home, but the table has it's original finish. Mama, kept the pads and several table clothes on the table at all times, so the table top was like new. It is so wonderful to give Mama's table a deserving space and to finally be able to use my wonderful dining room. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have fretted over the final reveal of our newly remodeled home. I wanted everything to be perfect, but 15 months after demo started, I have finally surrendered to the fact that things will NEVER be perfect! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I wasn't very good about taking pictures of the before. Our old house was so dark and confining, I tried not to capture any images of it, but I did find some. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I want to give a big shot out to my sweet husband who works his regular job all day and then comes home and install lighting, towel bars, sidewalks, shutters, etc, etc, etc.! Without him, this 10 month project would have taken 20 months. I it so wonderful to have a handy hubby. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The interior painting is completed and the porch ceiling is finished. It is the same color as the kitchen cabinets. Eventually we will have four ceiling fans across the porch. We are waiting for the estimate on the columns, corbels, and screens. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We were supposed to be finished in October and here it is January. I think another 30 days and we should be finished. We still need exterior paint and the front porch finished. We are ready to move furniture to it's proper place. We started the process of converting our construction loan to a permanent mortgage which is very exciting and scary. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I know everyone is tired of seeing construction photos at this point and so am I! I am hoping for some finished photos very soon! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Nothing like a week off from work, company, and three parties to make you whip things into shape! We have been working like crazy to make a few rooms presentable. The island is beginning to take shape. Still some work to do, but I wanted to share a view of the beautiful walnut.</span></div>

The drywall dust will be everywhere all over again. Oh well this is the way a remodel goes. It will all be over very soon. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. </span><br />

Look at that face, those eyes, the hair! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As if starting a total home remodel on the same day as bilateral knee replacement wasn't enough, I had to have my gall bladder removed last Wednesday.

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We have had some progress on the exterior of our house! We waited forever for our contractor to find a crew to do the block and brickwork and nothing happened. So Mr Creative took matters into his own hands and went to a man that used to work for him. They came last Sunday to check it out and started on Monday!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJmtSfQ7SngAdM7v9SwRtKd-kzoJ3CpWQtxvubDYHh_1LNLp5Ra5OWeGBWYJA7bliWJtAH8VLu1l5ZdlyPshRjdGC982EziuJpfKjx_4Y2ra8TpfuqQBO59p1PY5QxNGZiUp8P7i-hmoPh/s640/beforewithlandscaping2.jpg" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">House before</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig5f1TJAEYnjN6FcldUD31NHpv9kcTbuatllWzQapJLXQrLavtiG86G1_h7_sGtZ55_Qly3ksJ1Qym4SpWc47tkkJR65NOpvYOkum0_cC_hWEJhi6qP2dqbkzA9nFLHAf02yN-kSifMFF6/s1600/roof+before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig5f1TJAEYnjN6FcldUD31NHpv9kcTbuatllWzQapJLXQrLavtiG86G1_h7_sGtZ55_Qly3ksJ1Qym4SpWc47tkkJR65NOpvYOkum0_cC_hWEJhi6qP2dqbkzA9nFLHAf02yN-kSifMFF6/s640/roof+before.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The windows across the front of our house were all level with the roof line, but b/c the house is on a hill, the master bedroom/bath was above the garage. The windows you see here were actually partially in the master bath closet and partially through the floor into the garage below. These windows were boxed in with sheet rock on the inside so you could only see them from the outside. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our design was to start the windows closer to the bathroom floor and then go through the roof line with dormers so we could reclaim the windows. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The framing crew built the dormers in the same space as the old windows, but closed up the bottom where it went through to the garage. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here you can see the old windows from the inside going through the floor.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Another view, but with boards to keep Daisy from falling through to the garage. This entire space was our old bathroom with a narrow closet across the front to hide those boxed in windows.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now we claimed that closet space with one new window in the new bathroom the other in the laundry room. </span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiRo5kgZn36ph2Hc1oZp5miPz8qfoacwwsRm_Wyi8KZSZHV_BTlIBAUhK2JWUVjVo0Qf_xNt0XsUT3Io0hDycAWStwxJct1vvmgnb412zPFRIPlMsqBHNP9wpymsdaRvMfyOXdi2qHUhcR/s640/DSCN3591.JPG" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;" /><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The finished dormers. I love the herringbone brick. All of this ugly brown brick will be painted. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We have also had some major changes on the other end of the house. The masons also built the base of the new front porch.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The arrows point to the old porch steps in front of the new front door and the side of the old porch under the window. We increased the porch size considerably!</span></div>

They work until about 8:00 PM and disappear until the next day. Today a couple of tons of gravel will arrive to fill in the porch. Stay tuned.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is the house before we started. The two windows on the far right were boxed in with sheet rock. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The house is on a slope so the master bedroom is three steps up from the rest of the house and sits on top of the garage on the far right side of the house. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When the house was built they wanted to keep the windows all the same level across the front, so they installed the windows starting in the garage and they went up through the garage ceiling into the upstairs floor in a closet behind the master bathroom. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">New roof! The new color is actually slate grey, but is showing up green in these pictures. The color looks terrible with the brown brick, but we will be painting the brick cream. I am just so happy that things are finally moving again, they can park in my flower bed anytime they want! </span></div>
