Housewares

Our living room space is finally starting to come together! Although this is not the best photo its the only one I have that shows most of the living room set up.

As you can see we finally got an armchair, although we need to get a second in order to arrange the room the way we want to.  I am also on the hunt for some amazing art and/or something that inspires me to make my own.  We have a 6' x 6' empty space that is just calling out for some art or something to be put up on the bare wall.

Domino totally approves of the new chair!  

I also picked up these crystal salt and pepper shakers.  They're the exact same kind that my grandmother has.  I love everything about them, the heaviness, the way they feel in my hand and the feeling of familiarity, of family, of being home whenever I look at them.

It's surprising what makes a house feel like a home. This Christmas we're going to get a Christmas Tree.  I haven't had a tree in years and am so excited to have one, to decorate it and to acquire new and different ornaments each year.  It will be Domino's first Christmas tree too.
