Well, it's been a few months. I have the best intentions to post more often but being a mama of four is quite busy! Full of crazy, fun, challenging and very sweet moments. My house is a constant whirlwind of kids and kid stuff...everywhere. The logistics of it all, especially with the twins allows me to push the house cleaning aside. Then I don't take pictures which equals no new posts. I can manage the basic cleaning but the deep cleaning doesn't get done as much as I would like. Well, I couldn't look at it anymore, (I am a Virgo) and spent some time cleaning, like really cleaning, the stuff I've been ignoring for a loooong time. I quickly snapped some pics of the house before it was once again demolished in record time. Here's a few photos of our dining room when we bought our house last fall and how it looks today. It's still a work in progress. Other than the light fixture and curtains, everything has either been passed down by a family member or bought at a garage sale. So nothing is perfect but it's definetly progress and it functions well for us.
Dining room as we bought it.
Photo is taken from the living room looking into the dining room on the left and kitchen on the right. Lots of brown shag carpet. Nice.
After the carpet was ripped out prepping for the floors to be refinished.
After shots. I apologize for the quality of my photos. I use my iPhone to take them and write my posts on my iPad. I know...
Looking out to the screened porch.
From the dining room looking out. I'm planning on doing a post on the living room as well. It went through a decent transformation.
I've already started pulling out some Christmas decor. Other than the garland on the fireplace I've managed to keep it from the photos. I'm way too early... Until we meet again! Kelly
