Grab a chair and a cup of tea! Our son, Dan from MD made and brought this beautiful oak bookcase to us! I love it!
Picture got hung over the fireplace.
The den with Bob's desk. Messy yet. TV goes in the bottom right hand corner.
Antique phone and sewing machine hung between garage door and coat closet door.
The rug is blue. That is our S&H green stamp coffee table that we got years and years ago! Sentimental. The rug is blue.
This is for my friend Pat to see! It looks like two toned blue but the pile needs to be swept all one way and it is one color blue. I like it.
Bakers rack will hold plants and tea pots. It will be minus the tools left on it and the junk in front!
Dan also made this shelf to set the TV on to watch from theM table while we eat or play Pandora music while I work in the kitchen. Dog pen will probably not stay there but right now it is Coco's place of security when we go away. Not sure where the plant and antique butter churn will go.
More antiques go on the shelf above the piano that Dan made plus one on the other side of the doorway in kitchen area. My antique Zither will either go on the wall beside the piano or on the other side of the sliding glass doors.
This is the quilt rack that Dan made for me some time ago. It is hung in the hall way and I have quilts hung on it now.
A picture of Diana's Sweet Shop from Pt. Huron, MI hung in the
guest bathroom.
Master bedroom. Lots more to do in here!
This will be my sewing and craft space with shelves above and a feminine desk beside it for my computer. It is in the master bedroom.
I have a large master bedroom closet. My clothes will go on one side and around the corner. There is a little place back in there that holds a white chest of drawers with doilies, etc. On the right hand side will be craft supplies on the first upper shelf and I think plastic drawer containers for material along that right hand wall. Dan put up other shelves for us in there for storage also. This gives you an idea of what we have been up to. We appreciate our kids help so much and especially Dan who came for a few days from MD to help us move, make so many things for us including the beautiful bookcase and help get things organized. We have great kids and will continue to work away at our senior citizen pace! Thanks for visiting!

That is going to be such a GREAT place when you are all set up. It is always fun to me to see things all come together. I hope you have a wonderful, productive weekend there. xo Diana
You've really been busy. It must feel so good to be getting settled in.
Good luck in the New Year and the new "digs". Looks like 2017 is gonna be a great year!
I love it! What a great closet to store all of your crafty stuff. The house looks like it will be perfect for you. Just what I want too. Our house is way too big now. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.
Blessings,
Betsy
You have made good progress. Moving in takes a lot of work but in the end it's so worth it. I can see that it's going to be lovely when you are all set up. Happy 2017!
Hi NanaDiana, Thanks! It will be awhile before it is all figured out! Nancy
Hi Sue, Right now we are exhausted but looking forward to a great year! Nancy
Hi Betsy, Thanks! I hope some day you get the small house you desire. I am sure we will appreciate it once we get settled and recover from the move! Nancy
Hi Gloriade, Thanks! It is a lot of work and I hope we never have to move again. I am sure we will love it here after we get organized and recover! Nancy
You've already done so much to make your house into your home but the job's not finished yet!!! I love the oak bookcase that your son made. It is gorgeous. Your walk-in closet is so practical too. Good luck with all the organizing.
This is wonderful. I am so happy for you. The rug sounds pretty and the hutch is beautiful! Your son did a nice job. *smile* I hope your new house continues to feel like a home for both of you. Thank you for making the time to share with us the progress of your moving in. *smile* Remember to pray always. Sincerely, Mommy of two growing blessings & so much more!
So happy you are moved in. It will take time to get things JUST RIGHT! You will change your mind a lot I bet.
So happy for you and your hubs in your forever home.
Have a great weekend.
So happy for you Nancy. Everything is looking good. Love the bookcase and shelves your son made. Wishing you much happiness.
Hugs,
Audrey Z.
Looks like you are making great progress. Moving has got to be harder during the winter season than any other time of the year. I love your rug . . . so pretty.
S&H green stamps . . . I haven't heard of them in so very many years. Do any stores still give them out?
Just a little note. I mentioned you in my post and sent a link to your blog. So, you might have a few new friends drop by.
Happy Moving!
Connie :)
Hi Granny Marigold, Thanks! I do love that bookshelf our son made! I thought the walk in closet was huge but I think I will fill it up with clothes and crafts! Nancy
Hi withhimalone, Thanks! A new house is so nice but it is a lot of work and will take us awhile to get organized. Nancy
Hi Cheryl, Thank you! I think maybe you are right that we will be changing our minds several times! Nancy
Hi Audrey, Thanks! I will be so glad when we get everything unpacked and can start relaxing! Nancy
Hi Connie, Thank you for your sweet e-mail and your get well card! You are so encouraging. Once i get caught up a little and can use my energy for other things I want to catch you up! Thanks for thinking of me! Nancy
What a beautiful bookcase! Your place will be cozy by the looks of it.
Hi Petra, Thank you for visiting my blog. It is nice to meet you! We do love the bookcase and it is so special because our son made it. I hope you will visit regularly. Nancy
Its really coming together, Nancy. What a cosy home it will be!
Gently does it, though. I know how draining those 'messy' times can be when moving house. You have done loads!
Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog. I accidentally deleted all my blog list and have little by little added the names back, from memory. I know there are still some missing. I've missed you and your family and Coco. Your new home is going to be just beautiful. Moving is such a job, but putting everything in place in a brand new home is so exciting. I 'll be back to visit. Henny
I'm so excited for you...wow, you've done so much already!! Oh, I remember how much work it is to settle into a new place and I'm so glad that's behind me now! Wishing you tons of energy to accomplish all you need and want to do in your beautiful new home! xo
Hi Alex, Thanks for the encouragement! I want it all done now! haha Nancy
