Grace and my dining room

I am finally working on getting my dining room functional once again. A few years ago, I thought I was ready to go to a condo - I started packing things and putting them in my rarely used formal dining room.

Well, I'm not moving. So I am starting to unpack - what treasures I am finding! There is a wonderful hand carved oak fireplace mantle and over mantle in the background. Lots of beveled mirrors in it too.

Grace is clowning around and showing off her new long nails. It's the first time she has ever had long nails.
