Xmas is early this year!

Today was a little bit of everything. From finding our "X-Mas B" christmas tree, to fixing up our dining room, to getting new lighting for the living room. Pics say it better than words so here they are!

First, introducing, our BLACK X-Mas B Christmas Tree:



Yup, the tree is black. The pot has base board moulding and the lights are simple white. I just love this tree!! Its so nice to have a little bit of xmas already. I think we're going to keep it up all year round, its so cute.

Also added to our living room is a new floor lamp. The cool thing about this lamp is its 150 w. So it brightens up the room. Exactly what we were looking for. Tuboo found the store on his bike ride home. Its the cutest little 'shop around the corner' type place.

Here is our new lamp:




Cute isn't it? For those detailed oriented people, yes, we rearranged the furniture in the living room.

Here are some before and after pics of our dining room:

We ended up putting up a new light fixture, again. We used to have a cute little chandelier but decided to put that in the basement and put this one up. This is the one I mentioned before about getting the free medalion. hehee.

I put that pic of the dining room up b/c it was the best one that compares to the "before" pic. But, you can kinda see the pattern on our new chandelier better in this pic:



We still have to do the baseboards and put up the wainscotting...but that'll have to be later.
