The Dining Room got a Grandmother Clock that used to be Molly's parents. It is not working but I'm pretty sure I'm ok with that because I remember from growing up that when it works it is LOUD and I hated having to wind it. For now its job will be to look pretty.
The Dining Room also got a silver tray for the buffet courtesy of Molly's grandmother.
One of the biggest updates was to the "Drop Zone". When we were looking at houses we really wanted a "mud room" where the kids could drop their stuff in some kind of organized fashion when they came in from the garage. Dream House doesn't have that, but we created our own "Drop Zone" thanks to a repainted set of hooks for the wall (used to be in our basement stairway in old house) some Pottery Barn organizers (used to be in our kitchen in old house) and a new bench (used to be in the kids' bedroom at Molly's Mom's house). Molly's mom also got that cute little car bin for all of us to drop our keys, sunglasses, etc. So far it works great.
Mr. Molly's office got a new oriental rug (was in storage at Molly's Parents' house) but we haven't unrolled it yet so more pictures to come.
But the coup de grace was an original oil painting for the kitchen. This also came from Molly's Mom's house, though I'm not sure if she had it up or not. She bought it from the artist when they lived in California and had it re framed. It's not hanging yet - we let her do those kinds of things - but this is what it looks like:
It will add a lot of color to the kitchen.
There were a couple other things; a new wastebasket for the laundry room, some clothes for the kids, and homemade Italian cookies. You can imagine it was a very packed car.
Can't wait for Molly's mom to arrive in 2 days and finish it off!
