The Week Before the Wedding- Finishing Touches

My daughter's wedding is this Saturday!   I cannot believe it is really here.  My husband and I have hung countless pictures, moved furniture and organized countless drawers during the past 10 weeks trying to get our new home ready for the wedding. This past week was a crazy one with lots of deliveries and last minute projects.  I cannot believe that we got this much done.

Trying to get all the last minute details complete is stressful.   Jay just picked up the newly cut piece of leathered granite for the console in the foyer on Friday.

We upholstered this little bench in a chartreuse this week!

Rearranged and relocated all of the lamps in the house!

Placed pillows around, but still need some more!

                        Built a fern stand out of old lamp parts for the gathering room table.

Polished silver and filled pots.

Cleaned windows!

Met with the chef and chose serving platters for Sunday's farewell party.

Placed flowers in containers-

This foxglove broke off in a storm this week. 

 Received the 2 additional chairs that I ordered for the screen porch on Thursday-

The cocktail table was fabricated from a cypress stump that was pulled from the Apalachicola River. It was delivered back to us on Thursday!

Opened boxes in garage and found old urns for back porch. 

Painted and distressed the finishing frame around the antique mirror tiles in the powder room.

Installed it this past week.

Recovered this little stool for Jay's bath.

 Received this little French chair back from upholstery shop.

Made 4 new pillows for the lower level sitting room.

Received and installed a new modern piece of art on Wednesday!

Layered a new cowhide on top of the olive one below.  Received my old gilded sofa back from the upholstery shop-now in gray pane velvet-

Found 2 long runners for downstairs hall.

Made the beds for guests this weekend.

Put flowers in Julia's bath for this week.

 Julie and her fiancé arrive here in a couple of hours. 

There is nothing like a wedding to motivate you to get your house in order.   Landscaping is finishing up today and I have  a few more tweaks to make.  But the major things are complete.  I need a nap!
