You ought to be in pictures...

Today I received a call from our kitchen designer asking if I was interested in having our kitchen appear in an upcoming issue of a decorating magazine published in our area. Well, yeah! They are coming early next week for the photo shoot. So much to do before then. I still have a dozen boxes to unpack containing house decorations and my vast assortment of baskets, the drapes in our living room and dining room need to be hung, not to mention pictures. This past week I've been enjoying having a sofa to sit on, so not much has been happening in the way of decorating. Guess I need to put it in high gear!

Our stairway is coming to a completion. I'm totally impressed with the workmanship that our contractor has shown. Because he was not able to get the newel post and handrail delivered within a reasonable time frame, he crafted these from scratch. I'm sure they are better than something we would have received from a factory. Thanks Wayne!

The cap and trim on the newel post as well as the handrail are cherry. Beautiful!
