Making progress ....

Lots to do around here as we settle in to our new home

on this little sand bar called the Outer Banks

We have been here 2 weeks today

here is my Virginia wall

the top picture is our previous home in Glen Allen

Jacquelyn and Bucky had an artist draw this as a gift to us at Christmas

the little picture is a cool picture of the state of Virginia done

by a local OBX artist. Our awesome real estate agent gifted us this

and the long picture is the state of Virginia that I cross stitched

many years ago when I used to do that a lot

Jacquelyn and Bucky said I need to paint that frame

Carolina blue so need to go get that

I have lots of family pictures that I just love

at our previous home, each room had 4 walls so lots of space

to hang pictures. But the living space in our beach home has

4 walls....living room, dining room and kitchen.

So I had to be a little creative, with the help of Jacquelyn, on

deciding to do family pictures along both sides of the staircase. I do

have room to add more pictures and I'm really happy with how

it turned out

Ignore the big blueish painting leaning on the wall

haven't gotten that up yet

and note the textured walls, love them

everything smaller in the beach house...including the pantry.

I was used to a pretty large one in our other home

and this one is small, and you can't really see what is in the back.

So I organized each shelf and labeled it so there is no

need to ask where something is....hope it stays straight!

the builder did the TV / cable connections on the wall

in all 3 bedrooms and the living room. Nice to get at least one

up today...thank you Babe!!

The master bedroom now has a TV instead of it

sitting on one of the bar stools

Notice there is still no furniture...haven't gotten that far yet

Just a bed and a TV!

later....
