Kitchen

Bret painted the kitchen.

He did a beautiful job!

We are thinking of slate for the floor.

The green will keep it from being just "red and grey".

Dining Lighting

We now have a new Dining Room chandelier:

Map Room Pest Control

Bret took the ball off the bottom of this lamp:

...which used to look like this:

(The ball made it look like an arachnid.)

Living Room

We got rid of the new Living Room rug and are trying again...it looks horrible. Yes, it does, and don't tell me it doesn't (even if you haven't seen it, which I know you haven't because no one but the piano movers, Bret, and Adam saw it.) And don't get me started on the piano restorers (who didn't see it, but are the ones who had the piano movers pick up and return the piano, which is really all very off topic)...

Deer me

Look what I found!

Enlarge this to see the numbers:

(yes, you have to, because I took the time to put numbers and helpful little arrows in it...thank you)

(The formatting is really getting on my nerves, it's skipping lines and other things, so all the awkward layout is not my choice.)

(...like this big space which if I try to get rid of, steals a photo too.)

and I'm not doing it over because I have to figure out why the air conditioning is trying to turn me into an eskimo and I want to get on to something else, like reading a book, because I'm having a menopause moment...which we all know means I'm a LITTLE grumpy.

But I did (and do) enjoy the deer and I am thrilled to share them with you and hope you enjoy them.
