May 9th: Mom is here to help!

Even though it was mother's day my mom showed up to lend a helping hand and make our home beautiful!!!

BEFORE:

Mom and her tape measure are never far apart!! There was much discussion on shelf placement, but I think we got it just right!  Chris was so wonderful to put the shelf clips in place as I had painted over the holes and it hurt my fingers to try and squeeze them in place.  Got to love his strong hands!

Mom begain windexing the shelves and putting them in place while I began unpacking boxes!  It was like Christmas seeing all my wedding gifts and beautiful things from my grandmother!  We are not completely done as there are still more boxes in the basement that contain more items to fill the shelves and china cabinet, but here is what we accomplished on Sunday.

AFTER:

Please excuse the lack of doors on the lower shelves, but check out those xenon under cabinet lights!! That would be my wonderful husband hard at work again.  

Can you find my silver duck piggy bank in the picture?
