I love family pieces too! We moved furniture around after my MIL died (she lived with us for 4 yrs) and I just love having her things around me. She was so dear to me... we were closer by far than my own mom and I. Sweet sweet lady for sure... it feels cozy having her antique sewing machine/table in my bedroom, you know?

Enjoy!

That is sweet how close you were to your MIL. I love pieces of furniture that hold meaning like the sewing table. I have my grandmother's antique table and matching hutch. I have the small hutch in my dining room and the small table in my hallway upstairs. Both the pieces came from her family in England. I love them both.. Then I have nesting tables from my aunt's parents in my hallway foyer...
My mother has the trunk that my grandmother travelled with on the boat on the way over from England. She is still using it in her house now. But I wan it someday!!!!!!!!!

GO EMMA GO!! I asked the boys and they have not even seen Emma yet.
As for things to get for the Wii...I think we have it all! LOL One thing that Steve got that we really like is the rechargeable controller stand. It comes with the stand, batteries and new backs so you don't have to remove the old ones to charge it. It's something like Nyko. I am sure once you search you'll find them.

My grandmother turned 87 today. I might be able to go and see her at the end of the month. She and my grandfather moved to Utah nearly 30 years ago and my grandmother has moved back to Ohio this last week to live with her son/my uncle. Now instead of being a full day's flight away, she is just a 2.5 hours drive.

The dryer just stopped and I am ready for bed. I'll see you all tomorrow! Have a good night!

Have a good night Michele!!!!!!!! and Happy Birthday to your Grandmother!!!!!!! it's great that you live so close to her now and see her more often!!!!

We ended up with light oak in our livingroom but maple was a close second. If I had to do it over again I would go with bamboo. Kristin that's a hint for your contractor

I did see the bamboo that is very nice.. I really liked it too!!!!!!!!

 

[pinkygirl]

The contractor told us that too. I think he said anything great than inch and a half I think that is what we got!!!!!!!

oh good!!!! we have the thick stuff in our livingroom and it's really nice..
