Sit Down and Relax





This is our family room and it also has great light!
Curtains and artwork will be our winter challenge.


Take A Seat



We first thought our dining table would never fit in the space, but it 
works!  Yahoo!  We are still loving our new light fixture.

Let's Get Together

          
 Before                                                                  After

The white paint really brightened the whole house!
All of our furniture from our last place fits and looks great!



Move It, Shake It

      
Before: Most of our furniture was in the front room
It had yellow walls with fluffy curtains.  Just not our style!

After: We have freshly painted walls and can finally put furniture in place

After: Here is the front living room so far.  We are loving all the bright sunlight!

Small Changes - Big Impact Part 4

Sometimes, all it takes is a good washing.
Now the lights for the ceiling fan will look brand new.

Bedroom Haven

I Need a Haircut






Our Lavender needed a haircut.  Looks a lot better and they are ready for next year!

Guest Bath Redo

Before

After:  We are loving the double curtains and new valance.  
I made the valance from one curtain panel.
I added a satin ribbon to the edge to finish it!  What do you think?


Be Our Guest


Here is where we started!  Love that green carpet...kidding!

          

We refinished this antique bed last winter and it turned out great!  
The picture on the right is what it looks like so far.


Time to Relax

It's nice to have a hammock to sit back and relax!
But not for too long - have to get back to work!
Those weeds aren't going to pull themselves!

Bruce working on changing the kitchen lights!  He had six lights to change.
It's a pain in the butt, but worth the work!  We had the whole house painted white, 
so the old lights really stuck out.  It was time for a fresh change!

                                 
                                        Before                                                             After

Bring in the New


Before:  Old, stained, green carpet in our guest bedrooms


After:  New, fresh, light tan carpeting in our guest bedrooms
Such a great change!  Looks and smells much better!  haha!

How Does Your Garden Grow?


This flower is wild looking!  It is growing like crazy!
I finally looked this up and it is a Elizabeth Passion Flower.

                    

Lots and lots of flowers in our yard!  Loving all the colors!

It's Getting Brighter





Here is our new dining room light.  We started out with a ceiling fan and now 
we have a cool modern lamp!  We love it!

Here is another small improvement, but made such a difference!  Thanks Mom!

Stop and Smell the Roses




It's always good to stop and smell the roses once in a while!
We have some beautiful rose bushes in our yard.  Tons of vibrant colors!!
