Finishing Touches

It is coming down to the final pieces to complement certain areas of our home. We have been looking for an area rug for the formal living room. It is not an easy task because I am either too picky or in sticker shock. I am hoping to find a rug soon under $200. If anyone knows of a sale please let me know.

Crown molding throughout our home along with shutters. This is a huge project and it will take us the next two years to complete. We spoke to four companies and each claimed to be the best shutters, and each were made from different materials. Shutters need to be custom made and take anywhere from 4-8 weeks. I would prefer the shutters to be made locally so that business is generated and put back into our community. The crown molding we have not had any estimates and will look into it in the next couple of months.

The garden and vegetable box will be the next outdoor project. I came up with a garden design in my mind but need to jot it down. I am not a landscape architect but have a good solid idea of what I want. A trickling water fountain would be perfect with a cute bistro table & chairs among a plethora of aromatic flowers. We also need to learn what to grow and when for our vegetable box. Agreeing upon what we want to grow was a chinch. Carrots, cilantro, tomatoes, rosemary, chilies, zucchini, squash, pumpkins (seasonal), bell pepper, watermelon, and the list goes on. This may be a full time job.

These all can be done in time and might take a little longer than we thought. The finished product will be here soon. Watch out!
