house update

Last weekend, we finally picked the tile for the wall/backsplash behind the sink. We bought several pieces and brought them home, leaned them against the wall and voted on the 2 we liked best. We had a secret vote :-)  Out of 4 choices, I liked 2 and four. The man of the house liked 1 and 2. So we're going with #2. It was a good experiment and turned out to be a really great way to make a decision! I think I'll use it again in the future.

Oh, and in case you didn't notice in the other pictures, we also got new lighting! Yay!!

Many years ago, we rented this little OLD house. When the house was sold and we were evicted, we pilched some of the old furniture stuffed in the attic. We had permission. Sometimes I wish we had taken more because some of it was kinda cool. One of the things was a tall, round, end table. It's very plain but solidly built. We just recently decided we would refinish it. When we turned it over, we found this written on the bottom!!

Isn't that neat??
