Our new car! (Eric is still deciding on his license plate)
Thanksgiving was filling and relaxing and the drive home in our new ION was uneventful save for the rain for a few hours on Sunday in NC. We have a few photos up on flickr from the trip and Eric made a map of our 14-hour route below...
Since it was raining and cold all day yesteday, we postponed picking up a Christmas tree until today. It took us three hours to finish painting the living room last night and it looks great. I need to touch up some of the corners tonight and then I'll post some more photos.

Eric spent Thursday through Saturday in Atlanta and when he came home he noticed something was different...
I won't even go into how bad/sore my nails look/are after scraping off all that backing paper, but the whole project took me three solid days of hard work. It's a small half bath, so even though I took various pictures of the project along the way, they were decidedly uninteresting. We are going to apply a sponge effect over the flat color to hide some of the wall imperfections and lighten it up a bit in there after Thanksgiving.
On Sunday I got to relax and watch the Bears show Carolina what good defense really means. Eric worked on a transformation of his own... :)

Eric had to do some paperwork at Shaw University yesterday morning, so at lunchtime he came with me to pick up towels for the bathroom (we finally found chocolate brown towels at Kohls to match the rugs in the new bathroom... and why do most dark brown towels have a purple tinge to them?!?!) Anyway...
We also bought paint for the living room! We finished the one medium blue wall and plan to paint the other three a lighter blue in the same family. Photos below!

yea for fall! Here's the view of our house from the road and the view from our house of the front yard.
I have taken on a personal mission to document places around where we live that offer wine tasting opportunities. I figured if I have to search all over the place to find these things, other people may as well benefit too, so here you go.

The bathroom floor and walls are done, time to shop for a rug, towels, and new hardware! See the project from start to finish here.
