I just spoke with Mom and Dad

They just crossed into Arizona and intend on being back in Palmdale tonight. Yesterday they drove for 11.5 hours, so if they keep that up, they'll have no problem.

Home Decor

We also spent some time improving our home decor. We have had two of these dining room chairs since we were married and decided to reupholster them. Our selections in McPherson we very limited but we were able to find a cute color patter to match the rest of the living room.

Before

After

I also thought it would be fun to make some of my own wall hangings. I had a lot of fun making these beautiful pictures for my walls and fireplace mantle.

I have a few more vases to pick up and then the mantle will be completely accessorized. I'll post a picture once it is completely finished. The family tiled I made a while ago at a super Saturday, the tall paisley prints are what I made this morning before mom and dad took off.

New Lights!

Well we have had too much fun (video coming soon) and now it is time to work! We started with the outdoor lights. All three of our outdoor lights were brass and so we exchanged them for black wrought iron lights! I think they look beautiful and one more thing to help modernize our cute home!

I'm going to learn how to paint this someday.

This is John Singer Sargent's Rio dell'Angelo.
