Wow, the boys are 11 weeks old today! I am used to seeing newborns on a regular basis, but it has been such a wonderful experience for me to spend their first 3 months with our grandsons. I will be returning to Houston (and work!) next week and can't even imagine how much I am going to miss seeing them on a daily basis.
Mike was up last week and we have gotten settled into "the loft." I did a lot of online shopping to get it furnished. We have tried to keep it pretty minimal since we will only be here sporadically, but I did splurge on a few things. I bought this sofa from Ballard Designs an am loving it...really comfy and the slipcover is machine washable! Lots of stuff from Ikea: chair and lamps...
Barstools...
Bedframe and mirror...
The Eiffel Tower print was left by the previous tenant. I wasn't sure about it at first, but it's growing on me. One thing that we did bring up here is the yellow high chair. It was mine when I was a baby! My brother and sister also used it, and then it travelled from California to Wisconsin to Texas. When Kate was born, my father had all the metal re-chromed, and she and all my nieces and nephews used it. My youngest niece will be 16 next week, so it had been in my parents' attic for over a decade. Earlier this year I retrieved it (with the help of my brother). Mike brought it up last week and we reassembled it. Not bad for 60 years old...genuine mid-century modern!
They're not quite big enough to use it yet, but look who came over for lunch today!
