AW: Awesome Day! PIP
Today was awesome! I made delicious pumpkin waffles for breakfast since I had the day off.
I
also finally organized our new china cabinet and got all of our new
china in it! Yesterday, I went to bed bath & beyond and bought a
champagne glass to replace the one I broke, and I got the little felt
protectors that go between plates to protect them.
Here's a picture of our china cabinet:

I was so excited to finally unpack our boxes and get everything displayed nicely. Feel like such a grown up with our fancy china and crystal! 
And when I went downstairs to check the mail, I found a huge box from my
grandmother! Not sure why UPS didn't ring our buzzer, but whatever...
She
gave us a huge pastel sketch of the Williamsburg Bridge, like the one
she did for our invites! We have it hanging above our couch.
Great
timing too, since I was thinking about ordering photo canvases to hang
above our couch. Her sketch is so much prettier and less ego centric
than putting up huge paintings of ourselves. Way cheaper too!
Here's a picture, I couldn't take it from straight on, since the chandelier was reflecting off the glass:

I need you to share your pumpkin waffle recipe. I used a recipe I had and the waffles were pretty bland. They weren't worth the effort.
China cabinet and picture are lovely!
Haha, it's not much of a recipe! It's a premade mix from Trader Joes! 1 cup pumpkin waffle mix, 1 egg, 3/4 cup water, 2 tbsps butter.
They do taste amazing though! If you have a trader joe's nearby, I'd definitely recommend it.

It's from Ikea! They have a lot of great china cabinets and storage options. And since our dining room table/chairs are from there too, they match perfectly.

Thanks! We actually haven't looked there, so I guess I should. We have a small space foe one and haven't been able to find one that fits.

Everything looks great!
