I am not really a collectibles type of girl. However, I do have a few Coke items that I’m sure the guys on American Pickers wouldn’t mind getting their hands on.

Years ago my grandmother gave me her vintage Coca Cola tray that she got in 1941 working at a Coca Cola bottling factory.

Paired with my wooden crate, it makes our dated kitchen feel a little more playful.

After a full week in our new abode, we are pretty settled in. Of course, the last box I had packed (with baby wipes, my favorite sweat pants etc) was missing for 5 days. It was finally located in the attic despite being labeled Master Bedroom! 

Additionally, the projects we thought we would be working on are not exactly the same as what the house itself has in mind- yes, she has a mind of her own. Our priorities may have to shift from wall colors to more practical functional improvements. I find myself daydreaming about new windows- where you don't have to open the screen and let May flies in to close the window at night.

We haven't even had a chance to change the kitchen faucet out yet. I keep banging pots and pans on the spout because the old one is low arc. 

We did manage to change the showerhead in our Master bathroom which was as John said was-  "a five minute project that actually only took five minutes!"  We both love our new Moen Inspire Seven-Function Showerhead
