 Hey y'all, it's Tammy with Collard Valley Cooks and Real Southern Women. I wanted to share with you guys around the house today since we've got more done. We have spices in place now, my measuring spoons are hanging up. I did clean this cooktop for the first time today and I have to say it was a pain in the rear. I may get my gas stove but first we want to do some renovation on the garage and that's where we got to put our money first. So I've got these little hooks at Lowe's and they're holding my measuring spoons. You'll see I have this nice white sink so I've got to be careful and not mess it up but I'm excited about that. So we've got our play button up high now and we've got the CVC put up. Yesterday I got this cow at Bell's and I also got a little pig that's really cute at Bell's yesterday. So now let's look in here, this is our dining room and we've got our buffet delivered and this is the buffet. I mean Chris went yesterday to at home and purchased most everything you see of course except this platter. I also got us a little Easter platter to make deviled eggs on so I'm excited about that and of course it says in this house we will serve the Lord over our buffet because that's what we do. We brought our china down with us and it fits in this buffet real well so we'll get that out at Christmas time. And y'all know that Danny got me these dishes and how much I love them they're beautiful and then we went and got the thumb print green from a local thrift store called Alexandria's Attic. Depression glass. Yes. That's depression glass and this is the, what brand is that? You mean the plates and stuff? It's Wedgewood made in England, Wedgewood made in England. It is called Queensware in Boston, it's really pretty. So whenever you buy Wedgewood it is stamped on the back you can see that they actually put an indention in the back that's actually stamped and dated as well. And that's pottery that's not china, right? Yes. Then they got me a mushroom this week at a thrift store so when me and Chris went into at home yesterday we got another one to kind of go with it and these rocks came from the house. I thought these were really cool, they hold candles but they're just so pretty I think and so I got these, I may leave them in here and I may not. We don't have our tables, our end tables yet but we did get our lamps and so we're still waiting on end tables but we did get our coffee table brought in but the living room is starting to look really pretty. We're not going to do anything on the TV wall until we bring in our larger TV once we move for good and we're also going to put this cabinet in the foyer but we're just leaving it right here to keep it out of the way for them bringing stuff in for now because we got to put the piano in here and then we got this black piano note made out of iron to go over the piano and then I've got a couple frames for the heads, senior pictures for over that too. We all have seen my bedroom, I haven't done much in here since y'all seen it the last time. I did put a little greenery in there this week and that's probably about all I've done in here so since y'all have already seen this room. And we don't have our mirror yet for the dresser, they broke our mirror. Yeah it was broken when it came in so they're supposed to bring us another one and install it and let's check out the pantry a little bit I guess. This thing holds a lot more than I ever thought it would, you can see of course we're not officially moved but you can see how much room I got in here and I'm already trying to figure out how I'm going to cook so I went ahead yesterday and put my sifter here which I use it constantly and then my flour and my cornmeal in this section a lot of people would use this for spices but I have so many spices I rather use this for stuff that I use I mean I'll use these almost every day so and then I've got a spice rack in this one but of course we don't have all our spices down here yet and I'm not going to go buy a ton. Now I did buy these yesterday at Bell's and they're blends and they look really really good and I'm going to look and see if they're available online but they're made by a company called Dan Gold Incorporated out of Flushing, New York so I'm hoping that I could find something y'all might get something like that if I like them. Okay in the laundry room I'm washing clothes this washer is a washer that doesn't have the center thing in it just like our old one and it already smells that so I'll be cleaning it with a bleach cycle today if you have one and it wants to make your clothes smell mildewed make sure you run it through a clean cycle and you can just this one says itself cleans so I'll just add bleach and use that cycle it makes a big difference so if your clothes are starting to smell or your washer don't smell good make sure you use the clean cycle and so anyway this room the only thing that's got me a little bit crazy is we're getting a desk to go here and this is all gonna be color belly cooked side and then Chris tools I'm gonna give him a couple little cabinets but the thing about this room I'm not real crazy about and I guess I might use this closet it's where do I put my dirty clothes so I may have to put bins in this closet underneath for dirty clothes because it's gonna be too much of a pain I don't want to really leave them in my closet in the bedroom so that's the only thing that's got me wondering what the world I'm gonna do with this room but and these are the oh this was the old kitchen and these cabinets are all solid wood these are very nice cabinets very nice and they have like a big like a shelf down there underneath them and all that so yeah so anyway we hope you're enjoying seeing the house did you show them this in here too what let me show them the top of this cabinet on the top of this cabinet I want to put some greenery and floral and so I've got to put that together but I really think our serving table looks really nice and I'm excited you know tell them what we're gonna do out here on the porch oh yeah and then I'm gonna cook a meal today so y'all will see you soon I'm gonna make chicken france a this is our porch and it smells kind of musty so I'm sure that the windows aren't sealing that great this one looks like it's kind of this one's warped so I gotta get out here today and brush out the windowsills brush down the boards at the bottom and I'm gonna spray them really good with some bleach water because they stink and it's not gonna hurt the women if it does it's wood and then I'd like to go over all this wood with something to seal it and stain it but I've got to decide if I really want to do that or not but you can see at the top of these windows you can see water stains see them and that means they didn't flash the tops of the windows it looks like it's just on this side so we may have to do something about that Chris might could just call them good on the outside and we're gonna put our big table the door that we have in our kitchen yeah that's gonna go yeah it's gonna go right here on this side and then we'll make a sitting area on this side so we got a new we call it hammock I got it for like 20 bucks at bail because it was a reduced markdown from last year so I'm hoping Chris puts that up today if he does I'll jump in there for y'all thanks for watching colorballoncooks where we cook like mama did and a real southern woman love ya
