It’s a really quiet day here on the Day of the Dead. I started taking down Halloween decorations and M. asked what happened to them. Their (the G. family) fridge is not working, so she’s a little distressed. Her parents went to Lowe’s. Hopefully they were successful in finding a replacement. Their first effort was the wrong size.
I decided to just commit to some 4x6 rugs for the future dining room and order them now. I picked out three Oushak, so they aren’t too expensive, and they are each from a different vendor so if one or more doesn’t work out, hopefully at least one will and I can order more of those in a pinch. I hope they all work — they look very cool individually and I think they’ll look very homey together, and less “designed” and more “hey we found these over the years and liked them”. Crucially, if someone spills something horrible and the stain is not fixable, they are not fantastically expensive.
I then moved onto the Music Room, and I think we’re going to use the current dining room rug in there.
I walked with M. It’s a gorgeous day.
ETA: we had dinner at Woods Hill Table with the B.s Fun! I wore the cardigan from Soul and wound up handing it over to M. for I. We also gave them the Keilhouer (probably spelled that wrong) pink office chair for I. Decluttering! Making a Teen Happy! Woot!
I had leftover cauliflower and duck fat potatoes. Mmmmm. Also, coconut sorbet for dessert.
