Decor Update

Progress is moving very slowly on my living and dining room areas. My girls are taking their sweet time. Because the rooms are empty as well as void of carpeting now, we have had furnace issues. The furnace knows it will never get the temp up to the setting so it just shuts down. Because of that I have taken some things into my own hands. I ordered an area rug. That is my financial contribution. My older daughter bought a second hand cabinet and refinished it. It's a good height and depth to replace my china cabinet (they don't like my old china cabinet but are not getting rid of it). Though she did a good job, the doors are wonky on this cabinet and no one is listening to me when I say I don't like it. I was told they were TRYING stuff and if it didn't work they would do something else. She worked hard on the cabinet but I don't like it. Maybe I will post it in a comment below. But these bookshelves.... Oh, I can't wait to fill them up with books and photographs and birds! They still have to ground them so I can't do that yet. When are they going to ground them? After the new light fixture goes into the living room (we only used lamps in there before). And when is the new light fixture going in? Who the heck knows? They put an identical one in the dining room and it looks really nice. And they have new curtains on the front window (nothing on the side/dining room window yet). I sort of like the new arrangement in the dining room as the dining room table has more space and is now centred under the light fixture. Pictures of those will come later. The bottom of my china cabinet is still in use, just the top they are removing (to storage) unless I insist on using it. Hopefully this will all be done by spring.
