Settlin' in

Our version of a bedroom ceiling fan.

New dining room light, mounted thanks to brother bear - nevermind no dining table quite yet.

Lovin' our new living room furniture - not possible without you, B!

New coat of paint for what will be my spice rack.

Gettin' there's part of the fun (:
