Our house was move-in ready...

...until my beautiful momma said it wasn't! With my dad suffering from the February stomach flu that ravaged all of the C Clan in the LOE, the massive room stringing together our house was painted a new color.  Can you guess the name of the shade?  Put your guesses in the comments section!

Lucky for the Colorado C Clan, they chose that weekend for a visit.  Look at Uncle B - his clothes were spotless until he started this project!

Using every available wall-mount in the whole state of New Mexico, several pictures/plates were hung.  Don't look now, but we have made a house a home!

Yep!  Eagle-eyed readers will acknowledge the new curtains put in place.  For a better view look at this...

What is missing?  Yes the built-in china cabinets.  Elmo is so proud of you!  Turning our gaze a little further reveals...

For those of you who enjoying watching my dad hot-tub it while eating - you will be sorely disappointed.  Disappointed that is until you realize that it's a roman shade capable of being up or down.  This image above shows the down position.  So many changes.  Big thanks to Uncle B, Aunt K, and Heavy D for their help in making my beautiful momma's vision a reality.  Also, thanks for taking the stomach flu to Colorado with you!
