A Week of Re-do's: The Kitchen/Living Room

Alright, alright . . . I know it's been a while, but believe me, I've been working as fast as I can! My "thifting" has been put in overdrive . . . and my sewing machine skills have been put to the ultimate test thus far.

Although we certainly aren't done completely, we've made a lot of changes, and I'm quite happy with that!

I told you I'd post some "before" and "after" photos before the break was over, and I won't disappoint . . .

Before:
( . . . meaning before we even moved in)










After:








HAPPY new year!

. . . more to come . . .

In some parts it was painted over . . . in others it was taken down. It just depended on it's condition. We left it up to the painters to decide.

It looks Amazing! What a decorating talent you are. I can't believe how fast you did it too. I have been looking at my finished bedroom since August and I can't decide what colot I want for the curtains. I wish it was done so much! I just hate to even think about it so I keep putting it off. I am so impressed that you have done so much....
