Autumnal Equinox

Fall is always a busy time for me. It's always the culmination of many projects that I've been juggling all year.

Slowly, bit by bit, things are starting to come together in the house as well. And as a special treat, I got to tour another house, way more famous mine.

In the meantime, back in Atlanta, we finally purchased our kitchen cart from Ikea. It's found a nice home with all of our  cookbooks and liquor, and makes the kitchen feel finally complete. The basket next to the cart is where we keep our cookie sheets, cutting boards, wire racks, etc

I found the silver tray at an antique store for $2. The hobnail was a gift from my grandmother (we have a hobnail obsession) and a few of the items were gifts from our housewarming.

It's still a little bare, but we do plan on picking up bar cart essentials later on. We've also installed cabinet knobs and bars onto the new cabinet fronts. 

Next on the list is finding replacement light bulbs for our fixtures. The previous owners installed the fixtures and they require specialized bulbs. We haven't seen them in any hardware stores or Home Depot, and the company website is a joke. Seen anything like this before?
