just splendid!

Well, the house is coming along quite nicely. I'm truly enjoying seeing it develop into a beautiful and stylish home. A few more walls need painting, a few more baseboards to go on, a few more curtains sewn, a few more drawers built. There is still lot's to do and we probably will be working on it until we move...whenever that may be. However, it's wonderfully livable and I do love it here. We are making this into a comfortable home and are surrounding ourselves in things we love (things that make me happy!). To give you an example I've posted a picture of our new area rug in the living room. This isn't every ones taste so I wont be offended if you hate it...but I love it. It's a 'shag' leather rug and looks B-E-A-UTIFUL with the rest of our furniture.

I have a feeling that the inside renovations will slow down drastically now that it has warmed up outside. I can't wait to get my hands dirty in the garden and James is excited to build our patio. As I take a look around our first house, at the things we've done or are doing, I find that I'm very proud of it...more importantly I'm proud of James for hacking away at this all on his own!
Go Team Erskine!

one great quote...

"whenever i get gloomy with the state of the world, i think of the arrivals gate at heathrow airport. general opinion makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, i don't see that. seems to me that love is everywhere. often it's not articularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there. fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. when the planes hit the twin towers, i have reason to believe that none of the calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge, they were all messages of love. if you look for it, i've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around." -Love Actually
