A few new things around the house

About a month or so ago we finally unpacked our last boxes! I realize we have lived here 2 years, so this is a little pathetic, but it was only books. Our bookcase did not fit on our moving truck when we left NY, so we left it with intentions of buying a new one when we got here. We didn't want the $20 Wal-mart special again, and we just were not getting around to buying one. Finally Chris's parents got us one for our anniversary this year! It is much bigger than our old one, and we don't even have enough books to fill it yet.
Our other new thing is from Chris's deceased Grandmother, Nani. Chris's parents took it and had it refinished for us and it looks so good! It is a sliding desk- very cool. It is nice to finally have something in our entryway. The mirror was also hers, the lamp we bought, and the runner I found (well my mom found) at a garage sale for 25cents!

You entryway looks beautiful and...almost romantic. Must be the lighting:). It's so fun get new things, and position them in your home.
