More Color

When my co-worker and his wife came over a few weekends ago, they commented on how we really must love color. :) I don't think it's obnoxious, but indeed it's obvious when you step into our house. Yes. We (especially I, and Adam is supportive!) love color. This red shelf is the newest addition to our home, as well as the cup shelf above it - both from a really great antique shop here in town. I love decorating with items I will USE, too - dual purpose. I really will use both of these shelves because our kitchen is pretty small.




I bought Monty a new toy today because last week he destroyed two of his favorites - first a ball and then a lavender monkey thing Mom had gotten him for his birthday. The most recent (pictured below...) looked sturdy enough, but -- alas. Not a match for Montgomery. He had fun with it, though.

He even brought the remains under Adam's desk. He never goes under there, but---- That's where he is as I write this. Adam put a fluffy purple blanket down to encourage Monty to visit again, and it worked. The poor dog... I think he gets lonely out in the living room when we spend so much time in our office. In our old house, EVERYTHING was in the living room, so Monty was always within about three feet of either of us at any given moment. He's not used to the space! Anyway, he's a sweetie.
