Celebrate! Our New Washing Machine

 

 

 

We're sooooo excited to introduce you to the newest member of our Good Haven House family, our brand new GE 3.6 cubic foot washing machine! She's come to us all the the way from Lowe's on Fairfield in Pensacola. She'll be hanging out in the laundry room waiting to help you with any laundry you may have. 

 

 

 RIP old washer and thanks for 20 years of great service. He is in large appliance heaven now.

 

As a side note: the dryer is pretty happy to have someone a little younger to hang out with.

 

 

Finally.............. Slipcover Update

If you remember last spring we had new slipcovers made for the living room love seats.

I finally got to see them (and sit on them) in person.

I'm thrilled!

They turned out better than I could have hoped due to Taube Lansing's beautiful work.

Thanks Taube!

New Slipcovers

There's been a flurry of activity at Good Haven House in the last few weeks, getting the house all spruced up for our summer season that starts in just a few weeks!

Among the many projects taken on were to have the 2 love seats in the living room and the easy chair in the master bedroom slipcovered. They were all getting a little tired looking and just couldn't be cleaned up to my satisfaction anymore.

After some searching I found the best, the most accommodating, talented and professional upholsterer who was willing to tackle working long distance with me. She was happy to use fabric that I sent to her (as anyone who has had slipcovering or reupholstery done, sometimes this is not the case) but she also has a full array of fabrics she makes available to you if you'd like some help with choices and purchase.



Her name is Taube Lansing and she owns Lansing Upholstery and Fabrics over on Bayou Blvd. in Pensacola, 850 206 1771.

Very fair rates, a wonderful attitude, lots of talent, fast turn around and a great sense of humor made it a joy to work with her! The finished products speak for themselves. I look forward to other collaborations with her.

Hopefully soon I will have some photos in situ.

Front Hall Remodel

Well, we finally decided to tear out the closet in the front hall as you walk in the front door. We've wanted to do it for a while but it just wasn't in the budget. We finally bit the bullet and decided to do it before the 'Summer Season' gets officially underway. Simeon Jacobs, our handyman extraordinaire, is hard at work as I write and I should have some pictures for you all soon.

This is the only picture I have of the hallway and it doesn't even show the closet. It was definately NOT the most picture-worthy part of the house

A big bonus will be no more musty smell when you walk in the front door..... Woo-Hoo! Even though you couldn't smell it upstairs, that odor used to drive me crazy.

And now MY favorite part begins, the search for a chest of drawers and an interesting mirror OR a pretty halltree to put against the east wall. Maybe I can even find it in the budget to hang a new light fixture in the hall. Jennifer's, here I come! Hopefully it will all turn out to be worthy of some new photos on the Good Haven House slide show. Stay tuned!
