Hey Karen,
How did the move go? I hope smoothly.
When do we get more pictures of your beautiful new home?

Lynn, we are moved in and unpacked and now the fun begins! We are pretty much remodeling the whole inside including removing some walls. Today they tore up the carpet and next they will scrape up the floor tile so there really isn't much of the inside that is fit to photograph!
All I can offer so far is the new roof that was finished up this morning, they have been hammering all weekend!

Karen, thanks for the update. You will have to keep us involved in the renovations. You will have a lot more hammering going on for a while.

Today I am working on finding someone to do custom drapes. I don't think I can buy some this long in the store ;)

ditto Betty. Calico Corners did a great job for us, not cheap but worth it for such a huge selection of fabrics.

Karen, I can recommend JC Penney for custom drapes as well. I have taller than normal windows too and have to have them custom-made. Debbie
