Florida Day 3,4,5

Things are progressing at a snails pace right now.  We await our POD (storage container) which should arrive Thursday if it isn't delayed by the hurricane heading this way.  Not likely to hit St. Pete, but we have been having rain and thunder.  We've also had to stay close to home to receive deliveries.  Yesterday we had the jungle tamed and large branches lopped off before the stormy season arrives.  Today we wait for the contractor to look at the disaster of a master bath.(the only thing not redone in this house).  So, I've been wasting time with magazines and blogs. 

Since we sold the cottage sofa with the cottage, I was able to pick a new one for here.  I opted for white because the ceilings are low on the ground floor and I didn't want a coloured sofa to cut the room in half. And the rug is for my Ky, who thinks her mother is afraid of colour......well I'm not...and this is proof....this rug is from my online shop and is called Bed of Roses.  A Kaffe Fassett rug for Dash and Albert....

    I love Kaffe Fassett and have been following his designs for years. The fabulous colors he used in his knitting creations drew me in immediately - what a talented man!

    I could just curl up in that sofa right now! I'm on week 12 of our sofa order and am hoping it shows up sooner rather than the 16 week max they mentioned. Loving your rug :)

    It's all coming together now. Before you know it, you'll be thinking, "how'd my house get so cluttered"?

    Looks good to me, I would say you have been 'researching' rather than wasting time. ;-)

    Your Florida home is coming together beautifully! Keep all fingers crossed, I may have found a winter rental for my son and me in Venice, FL.

    I just want to curl up in that lounge chair and read all day. The carpet is busy, but the room looks so calm and relaxing.

    Love the rug and the sofa. The entire east coast is about to get a vast amount of rain I am afraid.

    Target is THE BEST! Can't wait until it finally makes it's way here next year, fingers crossed.
    These little sneap peeks so far are neat. I love the pops of colour. Can't wait to see more of it come together. You lucky lucky girl.
