I worked a few hours at the bank yesterday, and I am there again all day today, but I wanted to share a lil' peek at my dining room in the new place. I have moved things around from my old cottage in Reno. The four bunny pictures and the hutch in the dining room are all relocated from my old living room, and the hutch is now filled with all of my white and silver things for a little different look (I will add the Robin's egg blue touches in the spring and summer I am thinking) I am going with a slightly more streamlined look in my new home because it just seems like that is what looks best here.
I didn't do too much in here for the Christmas season, since I was still using the table for unpacking things....
but it is definitely beginning to feel like home to me.
Looking great Tracey,
I spy a new hutch here too! What ever happened to the beautiful bed you bought on Craigslist?
What a new year this will be for you.
hugs,
Donna

I am in the same boat as you. We just moved in 6 weeks ago and it has been nonstop. I am trying to get settled too. Hope you have a great New Years.

Beautiful! My niece just moved to the Portland area this last summer and she adores it. I told her about your blog and how it seems that there is so many vintage places out there. She said that I would be in heaven. I think I just might need to take a trip to heaven in the next year. Anyhoo so happy for you. I have been following your blog for 2+ years. Blessings and best wishes for an even more phenomenal New Year!

You'll have it all together in no time and it's already looking great. I like your idea of the new year being a clean slate... May we all have good things to write on our slates for 2010...ya, I can't believe it either.
Have a great rest of the year.
