Living Room!

The living room/dining room is finally (almost) done!  We went with a blue color on the walls, which I think turned out great!  We wanted a green color but couldn't find a green paint that didn't look like mint ice cream.

View from the dining room, the curtains were from overstock.com and two panels on each side of the massive window worked out perfectly!

Slightly different angle, I love that the Kermit lamp found a home on the bar next to the front door! 

This awesome lighting fixture was original to the house, Michael found a lamp store that restored to it's former glory!  It looks amazing over the dining room table.

I'm SO happy with how this room turned out, such an improvement from when we first moved in!

Skunked!

Is anyone suprised that out of all three dogs, Toby was the first to meet up with a skunk?  He got sprayed right in the face by a skunk that was hanging out in our backyard the other evening.  This was the one time that he gladly jumped into the bathtub!
We took him to the groomer's to get a professional bath, and they had to clip off most of his cute facial hair.  At least it will grow back!  Hopefully he learned his lesson, because this was an experience I never want to repeat!
