Living Room Updates

Is this week flying by for anyone else? I cant believe it's already Wednesday.I am in the middle of freshening up my living room. Let me show you where I am.
I purchased another Turkish rug from my favorite Ebay seller. He is so nice, and always types "nice to hear from you, again". You know what I'm thinking......you don't remember me.

When it arrived, there was a free pillow cover included.....thanks Turkish rug dude!

While shopping Internationally on Ebay, I also bought this vintage Kantha quilt.

Here's the other side.

I bought it from this Ebay seller. It came from India and arrived a week early. It did smell a bit musty so I washed it on a gentle cycle two times and hung it to dry. It is fresh and clean. Now if I can just figure out how to fold it. 

It reminds me of that Martha Stewart video on how to fold a fitted sheet

Yeah Martha, that ain't happening in this house. #Overachiever

I went to my local hardware store to see if I could configure a creative way to hang my light fixture. The guys that work there are so helpful....well, one of them is helpful, the other one keeps telling me "it can't be done"... so far I am 4-0. Do you find that most men can't think outside the box?

Here are the pieces I brought home. 

And now they are gold.  That bending piece goes into the sheetrock, so you won't see it.

Do you know how to install a toggle bolt? It's super easy, and I will try to get a tutorial up soon.  I'm not sure I am going to use all these pieces, but if I didn't take them home....I know I would need them.

I think that's it for now. Oh, I also managed to get four loads of laundry done and cooked two dinners. I'm a on a roll!

I almost forgot, I don't want to break up with you when Google Reader goes kaput. Do you know what the social media buttons on my sidebar are for? Here are some ways we can keep in touch (KIT).

Now where are you at with your TTD list?

Happy May Day!
