Our House is a Very Fine House . . .

We've been in our house for a whole month now and today I finally hung more than just clocks and 1 or 2 pictures on the walls. I even spent some money and purchased 1 new print to go above the stairs. I bought it at that fancy art store called Kohls.


The greatest feat of the day was not only hanging the pictures, but then moving all the boxes (tons) of extra frames and pictures downstairs. Their previous home had been in front of this railing. This is the first time we've actually seen the space in front of this railing and been able to vacuum the carpet there since we moved in. I might eventually decide to put a small table or something here (or maybe a Christmas tree) in the future, but right now I just like the fact that we got some of our floor back!


Additionally, we had our first house catasrophe yesterday (not really a catasrophe, but the first thing to break). One of the drawers/shelves on the inside of the refrigerator door just fell off. Luckily, none of the bottles inside it broke when they hit the ground, but the shelf thing cracked and it's plastic trim fell off. It's really not that big a deal, but the fridge is covered under warranty, so I called Lowe's today and they are going to send us a new part.
