We have been a flurry of busyness…and I have some evidence!
The before and after of our entertainment center/TV area was a big undertaking that required hours of discussion, thoughts, phone calls, emails, texts, a global summit and more discussion.
I was only part of a few discussions and I was doing laundry during the summit.
The OLD: This was nice…it was great for the last 14 3/4 years.
But the Coach wanted to update our TV…and that required change.
It looked like this for a few days….
Voilà; change!
We actually (I was reluctant!) added a drywall splay…it was a corner before and now it is a 45 degree something or other yada yada….
The TV is outrageous. If our roof flew off the TV could be visible from Mars…for the little green guys viewing pleasure of course.
Notice my stalker dog?
~~~
During our floor renovation the light fixture over the kitchen table took a piece of travertine to the face. The worker bees actually did me a favor…since I never really liked this fixture anyway.
THIS is what I really wanted.
I love it. I don’t think the Coach was thrilled with it, but like the wonderful husband he is, he said nothing and installed it yesterday.
We finished putting our dining room back together yesterday too…the glass tabletop has been outside for 4 weeks! 
The new flooring actually makes EVERYTHING in our house look better…all our furniture and kitchen cabinets look new and prettyfull!
I don’t want to boast too much…but I actually look better too!
Our house is complete. Well, I still have some trim painting to do…and some lil’ tid-bits inside…and the landscaping has gone to poop….Are we ever done? Nahhhhh
How full was your weekend?

oh Suz, looking spectacular!

I'm torn between loving and hating you. Or maybe I just want to be you. I wonder if your husband would even notice? The new t.v. thingy/wall configuration is super clean and streamline. And I am digging the new pendant lighting. You know what, I just figured it out. I'm pretty sure I hate you.Love, m.

Size really does matter:)You'll love that new TV once you have time to sit and watch it. Mines a 60 incher and takes up a whole wall in this tiny living abode. Love the lamp shade hanging from the ceiling too, and the floor and the back end of the stalker and you!Have a great time in all your newness

Bee-utiful! : ) I love how new floor makes all the difference. I've learned that one too…my old whatever looks a lot better if it's sitting on something pretty. And your stuff is definitely sitting on something pretty! Love your gaddywompus wall too. I hate how family rooms aren't naturally shaped to fit a tv and make it look good. Love your tv..I love the big tv now that we have one. I can see the numbers on the weather report now! I'm not as old as I sound. : )

Looks fantastic! We were busy building the kids' playset this weekend. It is finally finished, and we are all happy.We had to redo our tv area as well, when the tv I won 5 years ago bit the dust. We ripped out our gas stove and used the area to set a tv into it. We put up a small fence that would in theory keep the twins back, but it doesn't.I hope one day to have my house looking as fantastic as yours does!
