Can YOU Spy...

FYI: for some reason I can't get the blogger to space between certain paragraphs, so I had to do something like this (----------------------------) so you can see they are separated. Such a pain! Anyone know how to fix it?

This weekend our house experienced a few small changes/additions.

Can you find them?

------------------------------------------

Did you see the subtle new things that have been added/changed.

Oh...I'll tell you! Ryan put up a new light in our foyer!! Here is a picture of the old one....

It's gold, square, and I believe cost about 10 dollars for the contractor to put up. Nice huh? I'm so happy to see it go!

----------------------------------------------

The other addition is the pillows (striped and teal green) in our living room! I have been looking for new pillows for a long time and finally found some that were reasonably priced and had red, along with many other colors! I like red, but I was getting a little tired of it! Now - I can add some yellow, orange, light green, blue, etc. into the room! I think a large colorful vase will look great on one of the end tables AND it doesn't have to be only red or green!

-----------------------------------------------

I initally was looking for fabric to cover the pillows we got with our sofas (they were so ugly!), but the fabric cost so much $$ and I don't have a sewing machine or know how to sew. So there went that idea. Anyways - I'm so thankful for my friend, Jess, being so patient and willing to shop with me to find them on Friday!

-----------------------------------------------

She was also willing to go to Chick-Fil-A for lunch! I know I was just there on Tuesday, but I LOVE THE PLACE! The chicken and fruit salad is fabulous :0) Other than a lovely lunch we did some shopping, I gave her highlights (well tried o:-D), and chatted. It was a perfect afternoon.

BASEMENT UPDATE:

Ryan and his buddy, Stutz, put in a full day of dry walling on Saturday. Here are some fruits of their labor:

Hallway - done!

Closet at the bottom of the steps- done!

This area - done!

Another view of the hallway - done!

Ryan showing the camera how he really felt at that moment about blocking out that rotten pipe (and it is done!)

-----------------------------------------

I'm so proud of all the hard work he's been doing on the basement! More to come as it really starts to get finished up!
