I have Wednesday Brown Bag Lunches today and am sooo busy. I'm serving either:
A) healthy low sodium subs on multi grain bread with baked chips, pickle spears apple slices and low-sugar cookies or.........
B)Organic mixed greens served with chopped free range chicken, wheat crackers, fresh apple slices and low-sugar cookies........
I have twice as many order's as last week and I'm really happy about that!!
I'm posting a few picture's of our makeover......
Our barn out back........we haven't even started on it yet. Prince is painting it red with white trim because he loves the barns in Amish country....
This is the blah dining room before we painted it. It was that lovely shiny blinding white. The kind that kept bleeding through so much that it took four coats of paint of cover it........
Prince and I stopped for a little photo after we finished this room and before we brought my Gran's antique dining room suite in. I love my old dining set. It's a solid mahogany table that seats 8 and the chairs still have the original covering on it....an old brown and goldish-beige pattern with ribbons running throughout. The chairs themselves are hand carved and very ornate. The set is date stamped 1942 and say that they were made in Tell City, Indiana. The old buffet is mahogany as well with old brass handles on the drawers and the inside of one is lined with old green felt for silver wear. When I open the old drawer's and cabinet's I can still smell my sweet Gran's house. I also have my great-grandmother's old ornate mirror that I hang over the buffet. I wouldn't take anything for this set and the memories that go with it........
I'll post more picture's of the before and after next week I hope. The house doesn't even look lie the same house that we started on. We love living out here in the country. We're close enough to the city to run into town for a quick bite of dinner and far enough out that when we sit by the pool on these last few warm evenings that we hear crickets chirping away by rubbing their legs together and frogs calling out to each other. We love our lives each and every day!!!
