Like I mentioned before, I am super stoked to have a dining room adjacent to the kitchen. Take the food out of the oven, put it on the counter. We’ll be eating like real adults and hopefully teaching Blinn to do the same. (I realize Blinn is not even 2 yet, but really, can we keep a little more food off of the floor, the ceiling, the clothes, down the pants???! We’re working on it.)

So the new apartment has a dreadful-looking ceiling fan in the dining room, and that’s one of the first projects I want to tackle after painting. I love the look of these large, chunky, modern pendents. I think the last one (which is from Ikea) fits our budget more. If we don’t go to Starbucks for a month. I might need help convincing Greg…
