ta-da!



then last but not least the finishing touches

 I finally found the finishing touch to my fireplace this weekend - the hand blown glass vase sitting on the mantle. One of our many projects complete!

I also got the last piece of furniture I needed for the living room, an accent chair (thank you Pottery Barn floor sample clearance!). I got the last accessory I needed to finish the bookcase too. Almost another room to check off the list as soon as I can find the perfect jute rug. Pictures to come.
