Four Months of Improvement!

So, I thought I would share with you all some of our hard work on our first home.  I'm about to show you pictures of the house before we moved in, and our current decorations since.  I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

I also just completed my latest Blog Design (One Fine Blog Design) and I'm in love!  Go check out Susan's blog:

Great job! We are working on a few rooms right now, and all the mess is kind of driving me nuts. So much to do and not enough time to get it all done! Guess I am actually on my own clock, but it all gets overwhelming after a while.

I have a question, you can smack me if it's a stupid question, but, I'm seriously used to that already! ;-)
The cabinets in your kitchen, are those wood or laminate?
I've been toying around with the idea of painting our cabinets, but they're laminate (or whatever, they're not real wood... LOL)We bought our house a year ago and haven't done ANYTHING to it really other than move our furniture in and hung some pictures on the walls.

WOW! My favorite is the music room. We are in the process of buying a house right now, and we are planning on having a music room VERY similar - an upright piano, etc. I have been trying to figure out what kind of chairs to put in there and I LOVE the ones that you have. Did you make those or buy them? THey look very simple/clean, yet also comfy, and they are small enough that the room still looks very roomy. We are going to frame record covers and put them on the wall. (-:

You have been busy. These photos are great. I have the same "before" kitchen cabinets and I want to paint them so bad.

You did a great job! I wish I had a room to put my piano instead of it being stuck in the dining room! Very pretty!

Heather said...

Beautiful home!! You have done a great job on everything, so glad you shared!

Just jumped over from Kelly's blog. Is there a flute player in your house? I am one that doesn't get to play much! I love your beautiful home. Your before and afters are amazing!
