I was just trying to put away my raincoat and couldn't find a spot. I think the coat closet is the next area to be declutter!!!
Even when I lived in cold climates I only had 4. One was a raincoat and one a long dress winter coat. Reno’s mild 4 seasons is one reason people are moving here in droves. Having lived in 5 states it’s the best weather if you don’t want it warm all the time. The downside of course is the drought and the summers where we get smoke from neighboring states fires but that doesn’t happen every year. If you want real winter you can be in the mountains in 30 minutes to ski.

Lovely! Thanks for sharing these.
Furniture with jewels is a good idea.Quote:

Elegant! I'll have to take a picture of my desk and post it. Similar style, I think you would like it.
Rosa, would love to see your desk.
Attachment 3769The knobs came for my dresser yesterday and I put them on. My bed and living room couch and chair come Wednesday and Thursday. I will post more pictures than.
That is beautiful Terry!
Here is my desk as promised:

that is SUPER cute and pretty. I love black and pink as a combination. This style of retro fitting furniture is much to May liking. I actually was contemplating this kind of treatment for my buffet/server last fall, but then went in a different direction.I wanted mine to be silver with florals and touches of silver leaf.Quote:

Attachment 3778Attachment 3778Attachment 3779Attachment 3780Attachment 3781My bed came yesterday and my bedroom is done except for my gray headboard which won’t arrive for a month. My loveseat came yesterday and my chair comes today and then I can hang the living room pictures.
TT, lovely result! The dresser with its unique mirrors is just stunning and the grey coffee table is one of a kind in front of the loveseat. You must be so pleased. Cute two little 4-legged supervisors blend in very well, too.:D
Very nice! Your place is shaping up into a nice, cozy home! Congrats again.
Razz, my dresser was stained dark oak and I bought it when I moved here 24 years ago. My best friend is very talented and painted the 3 tables for the living room and the nightstand and dresser in the bedroom. The coffee table I bought for 30 from Facebook marketplace. My old stuff was too big for here so my ex took it. My dogs finally started to play a few days ago after not playing for months.
Very nice! I love the pink and grey! the dresser really ties it all in beautifully!
IL, so what did you end up doing with your buffet? Is it a antique?
I love how it's all coming together. I'm fond of certain of the pink shades also.
Rosa’s desk is pretty, but Terry and I might add some pink flowers here and there. Given Rosa’s name I would think she would be open to that idea!Quote:

IL, I think you mentioned the piece a long time ago. Take a picture of the buffet in your city house. I would love to see it.
I suppose this is more rightly termed a “server.”This is not my favorite piece of furniture and I’m going to donate it when we move.Quote:

If I loved it I would find room for it, but I don’t love it.I bought it as a semi-functional piece that has outlived its usefulness when we move.Quote:

My son laid vinyl that we bought so now I can sweep and mop it and if we spill anything it doesn’t go to the balcony below. Meanwhile my son has been busy finishing hanging pictures, installing a new thermostat and shower heads. It’s so nice to have my stuff done timely with no nagging.
Lovely! You three look content.
Cute! Look at those wee fluff balls!
Very nice!!
How nice! I especially love your balcony space!
Rosa, the orange chairs are big and comfortable so I could only bring 2 from the house. I bought 2 tiny side tables for the chairs and had the small wicker table for the plants. I have 2 tiny chairs in the outside closet so 4 people that don’t mind being close could be out there:)). Both my son and I sit outside a lot.
I love the chair and love the picture of you with your "family." :) Great balcony! And the painted end tables are adorable!
You look so happy in your wonderful slippers! The dogs and the condo are very nice, too.
