You don’t have to spend a fortune on wicker furniture in order to benefit the most from it. Instead, you can follow these 3 dos and don’ts and wind up making the most out of your wicker — and your budget!
Dad and I completed mounting the new window where the old back door used to be... it's VERY nice to have things where they ought to have been from the beginning. This leaves us with more flexibility with the kitchen, and some good ventilation. And, as a bonus, our first REAL window that isn't old and drafty. :) The challenge now is finding tapered Cedar siding that is 5.5" -- hardly anyone stocks it, and when they do, it's usually 8" or 10". This means a lot of lateral ripping on BOTH sides to preserve taper angles if we can't find 5.5".
Dave worked all afternoon on Sunday to pull up the old carpet that came with the house and expose the beautiful hardwood floors.
Curtain rods are an essential part of best-designed windows, and they certainly can’t be overlooked.
The new (not totally unboxed) vanity (a clearance Allen + Roth combo model from Lowe's, marked down on clearance to $138 -- plus I had a $10 coupon to take it to $128). The granite top and bowl combination alone is easily worth the price paid, but the cabinet is nice also.
The assembled center speaker stand. A groove was routed with the exact thickness of the TV.

This is kind of going to be my lounge, whereas Natasha has reign over the dining room, which will be more like a parlor/studio combo. In person, this color ranges from coffee ice cream to a more greenish tan depending on the light.
