moisture problem.

we have a serious "moisture problem"
some might call it mold or mildew or dampness.
we have a lot of closet space.
 i use almost all of lea's closet, 
 (yes, our guest room is named lea's room)
half of our bedroom's closet & the hall closet.
with all that space, and the recent wet weather & our sweet 
old house's inability to "air out" i have found some 
of my beloved material objects fury & gross.
i placed a bunch of shoes in their boxes up
there in the closet thinking the would be safe..
my wedding shoes & much loved boots & booties 
(see there, i still have my sixpence in my shoe!)
got the mold! i flipped and quickly read how to get rid
of mold/mildew...they say a good vinegar scrub
 & direct sunlight should do the trick...
luckily we had a few very sunny days.
i'm so looking forward to cooler weather so 
hopefully i can clean everything out & get rid of
any residual moisture that might be growing.
my fingers are crossed.

new mattress.

slim & i got a new mattress to go with our fresh & shiny
refinished hardwood floors!
we went to the original mattress factory
after hearing my parents & many others rave about it..
so glad we did because it was so easy & the
mattresses were priced just right.
we got a tour of the factory- they make all
of their mattress right there in store. buy local!
we tried out about 15 different beds
before finding our perfect fit.
there we are in the pic above trying out beds..
we got it set up and slim tried it out,
and we had to double check to make sure we
got the right size... slim barely fits on a queen.
i think that ole' boy is still growing!
more pics soon to show off our floors...
