Seeing Red

 Hello prim friends and all of my other blog friends.

Hope your weekend is going well for you.

Well we finally got our living room completed.

I am loving the color red lately.

Don't get me wrong, I still love my blues,

but red has been catching my eye lately. 

I traded in my blue throw curtains for these red ones.

The true color is in the previous pic.

I purchased two primitive throws for my curtains.

These are a darker red.

Previously I had these blue coverlet throws as curtains.

These were washed and put aside for the back room.

They will be re-used as throws.

We replaced the antique rag rug that was here.

I purchased this red one now.

We moved the white couch back to the other room,

and put this one here in the living room now.

This was a chore in itself.

We had to put the white one into the hall and carry this one

outside the back door and into the front door.

We could not carry it through the house without

moving more cabinets...so opted to do this.

Which meant we had to keep Tundra in the front

of the house while taking it outside,

then closing Tundra back up in the back room

while coming through the front door.

Same when we had to move the white couch back.

Tundra was confused.

This was our previous antique rug.

I really wanted this as a rug.

It was only sold as stair runners. UGH

Now it is on or table in the front of our couch.

Close up of the new rug with the sun coming through.

I decided to place my new table here in the middle.

The blanket chest we had used as a table

in front of the white couch is now in the front window here.

This will prevent Tundra from barking at everything. LOL

Having the table here now reminds me

of some of the houses we visited in the museums.

A lot of them had a table by the front door.

Also you can see our hickory floor 

with the floor rug gone.

We also swapped out tv's.

The small one is now here on the drysink,

while the bigger one is in the back.

I had to fold the coverlet from the guest bedroom

and place it here before my mom came.

She is allergic to wool.

I picked her up on Thursday and she spent

the night with us and then she and I went

on the antique trail.

So now that leaves the back room to redo.

This is going to take forever.....

I still have my Christmas tree, Christmas totes,

and Fall totes stacked up in there from last year.

Bob promised me this Spring those would go

into the garage.....still in the back room.

In other news,

the antique trail was a bust for trying to find

items for the store.

I did find some things for the house.

Will show in another post.

Torrential rains hurt Bob's parking lot sale.

Mom and I avoided the rain while we were out.

We were North of the storms.

Please say a wee prayer for those affected

in Maui. Such a tragedy.

So far the Mad Scientist theme is a hit with customers.

Hopefully store sales will increase.

Speaking of store, heading out to work

the gift shop now.

Seeing Red Blessings To All!
