@nidnay here are the gnomes I saw. Truffles or cherries. Aren’t they cute.

Adorable….and YUM!

I agree, yum! Here are other options that are adorable too.

Now I’m in the mood for chocolate!

@zazfuzzroc thank you! i ended uo finding 3. crazy one was $34.99 and the other two $39.99. i mentioned this to the check out gal at Homegoods and she said pricing at their stores is dependent on location. not that i minfef paying $39.99 mind you, still a deal but these stires were within 10 miles of each other.

in other news our sweet Georgia has gained a lot of her hearing back. not all but she is doing so much better! the vet determined it was a one dose ear infection medicine sbe was given. Georgia is now part of a control group for Bayer. so far only 1% of dogs have had this reaction to this med. in this 1% many have gotten their hesring back within 6 weeks.

i am thrilled to have today and tomorrow and friday off!!!! well fingers crossed it stays that way! i have to finish up my christmas shopping!

@Molly those chocolates are too cute to eat!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Such good news about your puppy.

Yes i am feeling such relief she is recovering. it was truly heart breaking. thank you @Theresa Janssen

Merry Christmas Pink! Such great news about your puppy, so glad to hear that. :)

Enjoy your days off, I hope your shopping goes well.

That's crazy about the stools, I'm surprised they didn't do a price adjustment for you...especially with the stores being so close. I'm glad you ended up finding them though.

Now I'm wondering how much I paid for the ones I bought? I bought them fairly early, so I don't remember.

Thank you!

this is the first year ever i thinn my christmas decor (or lack of it compared to years past) didnt go up dayvafter thanksgiving. didnt go up the next weekend eitber. didnt go up afyer that either. today i actually threw some touches on what ive been trhing to do for a month but had no time. nothing new just used items ive had for ever. except for tbe cute $3 trees from target. Feeling a bit merrier today! have let all calls fo to my voicemail!

Beautiful Pink!! Really pretty... 😍

Love how you displayed your target $3 trees in the pots.  Love that you love blue in everything you design.

Pretty! Merry Christmas to you and your family Pink!

FINALLY received my tile samples and happy to say I LOVE them. It only took three plus years but hey I think I still have @User beat! LOL!

online the shoe them with the ”stripe” vertical but i like them horizontally mich better

That should have read ”they show them” and ”much better”

LOL Pink, on Nidnay... ha ha (Hi Nidnay.. 😘 laughing with love)

But hey, you both have gorgeous homes... tiles or not! 😍

pink-peony...I love love love them! Happy & healthy new year.

Oh yes! Worth the wait! Going to be stunning!

@pink_peony…Haha….you only beat me if you get it installed before I do! I really like those….maybe I’ll just copy you and do the same!

@zazfuzzroc…haha…..I feel the love :)

Just getting over Covid here (day 10). What a strange sickness. I never get sick (flu), so have nothing to compare it to, but this flattened me! I’m finally on the upswing.

Nidnay, right? same thing. it was unlike any flu or sickness I've ever had. And I don't get the flu either (prob been over 20 years or so). Just extreme fatigue is all I can say. Glad you're on the mend.

Pink, I like your tiles!

Beth, and Nidnay, glad to hear you are feeling better. Pink, I think you made a good choice, but I like most of your visions.

Oh @User and @Beth H. : im so sorry you got it! both ky kids are quaranting currently and awaiting test results. both their room mates have it. hope youre on the mend.

Looks great, are you going with white grout? Nidnay and Beth sorry your holidays were ruined by this darned virus! I’m glad you are on the mend. Nidnay did you get tile for the scullery, you had hinted you might.

@User, lol ... I can't toss stones, I take forever and a day to decide things. I am sure whenever you decide, it will be beautiful.

And ...Pink, I totally forgot to say... I absolutely love the tiles, can't wait to see them installed. I like them horizontally too.

Sorry for all who are sick, hope all of you feel better soon...

Yes @Molly white grout! this time they will do the wrong color LOL!

Pink I wondered if that was your backsplash tile you had on your IG and now I know! I think it’ll look fantastic.

That tile in that setting is perfection.

For all of those who were here from the beginning…….its finally happebing

tomorrow they will seal the marble and then grout.

Yay.!!!..not here from the beginning, but still excited for you! 😊 Looking forward to the progress shots. :)

Beautiful choice, btw. :)

wow! I love it so far!!

pink-peony ! It is beautiful. I have been here since the beginning. I just haven't been on here as much. Not like when we were doing nidnay's new build and your new home. Fun times. Dingleberries all around ! :)

Can’t wait to see the finished product!

Looks great so far! What color did you choose for grout?

Artic White grout Molly.

Absolutely beautiful! I love your bar stools, too:)

Oh Pink - It was worth waiting for. It looks awesome. You've done a fabulous job. Enjoy!

love that kitchen Pink! the tile is beautiful. I also love that color blue on your island.

That looks so nice

@Beth H. : im considering painting my office that color or soemthing similar . i just painted my front door. i love the Van Deusen in my office but its very dark

pretty! what's the siding? and the name of the blue door?

I like your office. bring in more light if you have to!

Ive maxed out on light . windows are east facing. have a large chandleier and two other lights and can lighting. it is just too dark for me. not saying its not beauiful but after four years of feeling like ots dark i think its time to act on it. door is SW sleepy Hollow. siding i need to look up. cant remember. maybe Network Gray?

@Beth H. : I was wrong. the siding color is SW Moonrail Silver SW 7663

New backsplash is so much better than that gray subway— looks great! Did you change your island color or is it the pic lighting?

@swrite The island color hasn't changed. i truly believe the gray subway was casting a gray shadow /cloud on the island. im telling ya the flooring and island look brighter. much happier overall!

Looks FANTASTIC!!

What a beautiful kitchen, well done! The backsplash tile is simple yet stinking, very very interesting! Would you mind sharing the details? I love it!

It was a special order through Lowes. designed to be vertical i just flipped it horizontally for install. It is marble.

Beautiful

Love it, thank you. And I meant striking, not stinking. :-)
