Mor is better
Baby Todd is getting bigger. Soon she will be mobile which I'm sure will create wonderful situations. There's a list of things that we have to do so we can be prepared for her next stage. Electrical outlet covers, picking up the scissors that are laying around, & of course moving the xbox up to a higher level so she can't reach it. I also get to reattach a railing at the top of the stairs which will keep Ellie from falling. I know this because her head is far too large to fit through the slats. The next problem was our table, coffee table, & bakers rack. There were pretty cool. Iron type trip with individual slate tiles as a surface. Jessica pointed out that the bad part was the danger of Ellie suffering a Higgins type event. Higgins is our male min pin. When he was a young pup he jumped out of my arms, bounced of Jessica's head & nailed the edge of the table with his head. He is now slightly retarded with a completely changed personality. So softer we had to go. We successfully unloaded our stuff, that I still much enjoyed, to some friends. We hit some furniture stores: Mor, Bassett, Ethan Allen, LazyBoy, & Dania. Mor remains my favorite. Everything else was hugely overpriced & will probably end up in a 70 yr old womans house. There was one exception. A sofa/chair at Dania. It was phenomenal. But not this time. So at Mor we found stuff we liked & most of it happened to be on sale. With my higher than yours credit we financed & it was delivered. Jessica is most pleased as seen by her smile in the picture.
My work on the yard is at a momentary standstill & I have moved to the interior so new paint can be applied where needed. The dining room is finished. That leaves the kitchen, living room, & 1 wall in the family room. I titled the rooms myself with no scientific method or thought as to why. It doesn't matter. I like home improvement. I don't like paying for home improvement. Maybe there is a government grant out there for someone like me.

Sign me up for the grant.
Or better yet you could itinerate . . . Be a home improvement missionary . . .
Nice picture, my friend . . . Looks like place is really coming together.
Mor is our furniture store of choice as well. Seriously, no interest for how many years???
the color looks good. Great pick on the table
I prefer the furniture stores (warehouses) where the salesmen don't insist on talking to me.
I would have to say that the store with the worst salesman was LazyBoy. The guy greeted us & followed us with his clipboard, not really saying anything, but shadowing us. When people do this, I make it a point to make lots of turns & double backs in hopes of causing frustration. It seemed to work, but we never shook him. At Ethan Allen, I'm pretty sure they looked at me in my shorts, t-shirt, & flip flops & saw me as "a stroke." A stroke is a person who makes the salesperson believe they are buying when they have no intention of doing so, or a person who is just a waste of time.
murdoc- you & your salesman lingo. BTW, the room looks like a great improvement over what the previous tenants had done. Weirdos.
mor is awesome. so was ric's furniture warehouse, but i think they went out of business
Love it! Love the dining room decor. And your story about your dog. I'm so sorry. But I laughed so hard. Thanks for a good laugh :D
