Home Show

Never in my life did I think I would attend a home show willingly. Mom is probably so proud. And the fact that I actually engaged in conversation with vendors about windows, basement renovations, area rugs, and front doors...well, the people who know me best are probably falling out of their chairs as they read this! But I really did those things- and I learned quite a bit in the process.

One of the first places we happened to stop was the Miracle Broom booth. Nick noticed the of pet hair covered carpet on his display and said "I want to see it clean up that!" We ended up buying one...I admit, it works well, and Nick is now busy raking Pepper hair out of the carpet.

But my most exciting find at the show (besides the wonderful array of hot tubs) was at the Pella Window/Door display. You see...the house originally had a rounded door. When they decided to replace the door, they had a regular front door installed. But look what I found at the show!!

Not only would it tie in so beautifully with the arched doorways in the living room- one continual arch from the front door through to the hall- but doesn't this door just say "Welcome Friends and Family! Come in!"? It's going to take several quarts of strawberries and several cases of eggs- but I think I can save up the dough for this door. It's so pretty...
