The Perfect Sunday

I got my hands dirty with soil and mud today. That just doesn't ever happen any more. But today I did a little planting. This will be Rogier's Sinterklaas, Christmas, moving, housewarming present from me.

It's been a homey day. After too many weekends of packing or unpacking from trips, I've finally had a lazy Sunday at home with a blue sky and bright sun. And bright sun always illuminates the dust. So it's been a day of cleaning.

And to add to the homey feel, I purchased furniture! On my way back in from taking out the garbage and recycling I came across a neighbour moving a coffee table. "Is it for sale?" I asked. And it was. Just the oak it's made from is (I think) worth more than the 35 Euros I paid.

How's that for colour matched? Never mind the bargain and the convenience of "at home" shopping.

Planting and buying furniture. How domestic. You can cook, yes? PErhaps you can put out a sign so the women will know what they're missing?

Hey, Morgan...Good purchase and it matches perfectly. When buying wooden furniture, it should match exactly OR be the complete opposite. A very dark wood would go with your floor also, but NOT a medium tone wood. I don't charge anything for design consultations. I have a PhD from Home and Garden TV and I'll be happy to share. Just ask me...please!...please!...please!

Much love.....Mom

looks good, very convenient and brilliant.

A little tip: use Olive oil and go once over the surface instead of buying polish ;)
