Speaking of projects

This is just a lot of randomness of what we have been up to concerning the house. (click on pics to make larger)

Took down this chandelier and put up this one from daughter's kitchen. Don't think that I like it, not sure, but will leave up until I find what I really want because that brass one is one heavy sucker. Any thoughts? In speaking with my best friend, Ginny, I thought that if the size and style looked OK in the dining room, maybe it just needs a zap of oiled bronze spray paint...what do you think?

Got these cute placemats at The Christmas Tree Shop for $1.00 each. Can ya tell I am anxious for       FALL!

This fan/light was over the breakfast table and we moved it to the covered porch and all summer I had just a box with wires hanging out until we scored this beaut at Lowes this past weekend. Was such a great deal that one of our daughters got one for over her table too. Pretty sure she decided first (my indecisiveness again) and I took the lead from her. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

Then I changed up the pictures and frames in the half bath from the flowers/silver to black and Vintage Good Housekeeping Covers. Like it...hate it?

Hubby had to make this to raise the pups dishes because our one little gal was not to bend her head down to her dish that was on the floor. She had to go for a recheck yesterday and there is no improvement like there should be at this point and we (meaning the Vet and myself) think it is because she has escaped our clutches and jumped either up or down on the furniture and has put her recovery in the toilet. So now this sad little gal is kennel bound for a few weeks

We pray that she makes a good recovery that won't require surgery, but her neck/back will always be weakened of which we will have to take extra care and precautions.

Update: Gave her a travel pillow so her head isn't down and she seems to like that. What we won't do for our fur babies.
