Re love sconces and musical furniture pieces

 

Ok you need to pay close attention to this post.  There are going to be a lot of movement of pieces lol!

It all started with a fireplace mantel we got from our Michigan trip.  Terry took it apart and made the top part into a shelf for my kitchen.
I love it.  You can see in this picture the counters are in but backsplash is not.  Tomorrow the backsplash pieces will be installed and this kitchen will be done.  I will show more pictures in the future.

Ok this is one of the side leg pieces to the old vintage mantel.  Terry made them into a pair of sconce holders.

We found these old metal candle holders.  Perfect to make into a sconce.  The legs of the mantel and these chippy rustic candle holders were married to make the best sconces.

The sconces sit on each side of my old arch window above the sectional.

Now onto the musical furniture part.  This is the piece we found in Michigan.  I loved it but when I put it in the living room with all my chippy white cottage it just seemed off.  More farmhouse than cottage to me.

Years ago I got this old alter piece from Liz Marie's old farmhouse.  She is one of the owners of the Found Cottage.  Liz Marie as many of you might know is a big blogger in blog, has grown her name and appears on several home shows.  
I am honored to have one of her pieces in my home.
My daughter had this piece when we moved into our last house because I had not place for it.  I loved it and so did she so she hung onto it.

My daughter and I were talking and she said she needed a small buffet piece for her house and she loved this one I had in the back of the kitchen.

As some of you might remember this is the buffet we had under the TV when we first moved in.  It looked nice but when we got the farmhouse piece it was moved to let that piece hold the TV.  
Are you keeping up with all of this lol!

To make a long story short my daughter took the small buffet I had in the kitchen and the farmhouse piece for her house.
 I got the old alter piece back for the TV.

The larger buffet piece that once held the TV is now in the kitchen being used as an actual buffet.

The buffet has a new place.  The old alter is now back in my home and holding up the TV and my daughter is happy with the smaller buffet and farmhouse cabinet.  
She has a long farmhouse table in her dining area and the farmhouse cabinet matches almost perfect with her table.  This all worked out so nicely for both of us.

One more day and the backsplashes will be installed and then the kitchen and bathroom will be done.  

We are settled in pretty well.
The only room left to do in this house is our office areas.  
Found a good desk and chair for Terry and we will begin to fix his area and mine up soon.

As soon as I have the kitchen all done this weekend I will post pictures on the new counters and the finished kitchen and bath.

It has only been 6 weeks since we moved in but it seems like a lot longer.  It is nice as the weekends and holidays approach we do not have to be painting or redoing something in this place.
It is feeling like home.
I went to a ladies party night at our clubhouse with some friends and it was so much fun.
Learned to play a new game that was a lot of fun for cash prices. 
We ate and drank and played 8 rounds of this game. 
I think at my next girlfriend party We will added this new game.

It was nice to get involved and meet some new women that live in here.
Have a great rest of the week.
Praying for all of you in Florida that were in the path of Martin.
Hugs,
Kris
