Lots of changes are happening at our house which is why I've been MIA. This recent score is creating quite a stir in several rooms!   Ever since I embarked on upgrading our son's/guest room closet... I began to look around to see what else could be improved upon.   These pieces are headed for the dining room and toile room but I've made a few changes in the kitchen, master bath and family room as well.     I can't wait to show you!!!   Here's a glimpse for now...

One thing led to another and the next thing I knew the entire house was in disarray.   In fact, one trick or treater asked us if we had just moved in!     We had track lighting installed inside the closet which required a handy man. You know how that goes...    While he was working on the closet, I was making a list of all the little things that needed fixing. So happily a lot of things were taken care of in the process.

It couldn't be more perfect since our son...

I don't do Halloween decorations anymore, but I always look forward to seeing the trick or treaters! (My friend Maggy made this beautiful Fall arrangement for a dinner party I went to this week. Isn't it lovely?) We are going to cozy up with some comfort food while switching back and forth between the football game and scary movies listening for the doorbell. How about you?
