things to come...

You can't actually tell from my recent posts, but a lot has been going on in my life lately that is fairly blog worthy...

• Our new sofa finally arrived a couple weeks ago, and it looks quite handsome in the custom fabric we chose.
• We bought a pair of upholstered chairs on sale at World Market to complete (for now) the living room seating arrangement.
• We very quickly (thankfully!) learned a helpful trick about how to keep your cats from turning your new furniture into scratching posts.
• We held a fun musical event here the very day after our sofa arrived. (We were beginning to panic that we'd have no where for our guests to sit!)
• I bought some happy fabric from a fabric outlet here in Richmond to make slipcovers for our very worn dining room chairs. (God knows when I'll actually get around to sewing them, though.)
• We recently framed some art we'd acquired over the last few years, and it's now up and looking (mostly) great.
• We've rearranged the furniture in our upstairs spare room, including turning the twin bed into a day bed with a lovely selection of pillows from Target and West Elm.
• I've added some accessories that completely delight me to the upstairs bath. It still needs real window coverings (we've got temporary paper ones up), a glass shower enclosure, and some art for the walls, but the space is really coming along.
• We just spent the weekend in Pittsburgh (we went up for Bob's uncle's wedding), and we saw some cool art and interiors while we were there. A little bit of art came home with us too.

I have a number of photos related to the above, and plenty to say on most of these topics as well. But I've been really behind lately due to the recent computer crash. And now I've been called in for jury duty tomorrow, so that's one more day lost during a very busy time with my consulting work.

But hang in there with me, and soon I'll get those photos and updates up here for your viewing/reading pleasure!
