The Day Has Finally Come......

We did it.... we finally did it

(sorry the picture is from my phone so its kind of grainy)

So we have been in our house since September. For awhile we ate in the TV room on TV trays (its really our favorite) Then, end of October my mom bought us a table { your the best mom!!} But for the past two months we have been eating on an antique saw horse that is about 6 inches wide..... so you can imagine how comfy that is, and if we have company they get to sit on the piano bench.

So we usually end up eating on the TV trays.

We have been looking around for awhile, just never saw anything that caught our eye

{or fit in our budget.... I have very expensive taste :0}

But then we came across these at Consign & Design for a screaming deal.

So We Went For It

Now we just need to finish putting together the dining room

+ paint walls

+ hutch

+ curtains/rods

+ wallpaper

+ wainscoting

+ big framed mirror

Early December Festivities . . .

About 45 minutes away from our house is a magical place called Longwood Gardens. It was the family homestead of the Peirce family (one of Amee's direct ancestors) until they sold it to Pierre Du Pont in 1905. Pierre Du Pont founded the Du Pont company and bought this beautiful piece of land for his weekend getaways. He transformed it into an amazing garden featuring his beloved italian water fountain that he spent 10 years researching before building. Pierre died in the 1950's and his family turned the gardens into a place where the public could come and enjoy what he created.

We were able to enjoy the Christmas display at the gardens as well as some of the amazing indoor gardens. Here are just a few of the pictures and our kick off to the Christmas season.
