Here's the auction chair in it's place next to the Frankoma fireplace. Ignore the shelves in the background - they haven't been given much consideration yet.


Mister Scooty Boots (right) and Dinah Saur (left) love the auction chair.

Jeremy and I carpooled to work yesterday. When we got home we discovered a Target delivery on the side of the house. As we were standing over a very heavy box discussing big trash day* we hear a "meeeoooww". We were both a little confused because it sort of sounded like Dinah... but not. For good measure we called out both of their names. A couple of seconds later we hear another scared "meeeoooww".

We head inside to find Dinah sitting on the auction chair. Check.

A few minutes later Jeremy comes walking through the front door holding Scooty saying "look who I found." Apparently Scooty had been hiding under Jeremy's car. With a little coaxing he got him out.

Together again.



So how did Scooty get out? We think he got a little too brave and snuck out the door while Bob the Builder was working on our cabinets. We're glad he made a safe return with no scratches or bruises. And fortunately, he's been fixed so he wasn't out there making babies.


Note the drawers on the bottom, door frame on the uppers (they need glass inserts), and solid doors at the very top. Only a few more doors and they'll be done! Then painting will ensue.


Oh la la.

*About big trash day. Here in Oklahoma City on the Wednesday after the second Monday of the month you can take anything non-hazardous out to your curbside and the garbage men pick it up. How convenient.

Also, that big box from Target contained this:

We really needed a new media console. We tried to find something local and vintage but it just wasn't happening. We got this piece for a steal and were pleasantly surprised to find that it is solid wood. What wasn't pleasant was discovering huge cracks in the wood on some of the major exterior pieces. Hopefully, Target will send us replacement pieces.


In general, we've just continued to unpack and clean as we go. We still have a somewhat daunting to-do list that is slowly getting checked off day-by-day.
