So as I said before this winter we began making some big changes to the house. First we decided to tear out the carpet and put in laminate flooring.They are much cleaner, better for allergies, and I LOVE wood! Aaron is almost finished with that, and will hopefully be doing our room in the next couple weeks. That project led to repaintinting the trim and installing quarter-round at the baseboards. Our trim before was cream and the white has really made a difference. We also repainted the kitchen the same color as the living room, a nice yellow, not too creamy, not too sunny. My plans to redecorate the living room have been brewing for a while. Spending a month in the recliner last year ( on bedrest with Leiv) made me realize that although I loved my living room and the fact that my house has a nice cohesive look, it just wasn't really "me". So the new living room is much brighter and happier! I also think it has a lot more energy and it makes me smile when I walk through the room. Once the floors and walls were done over it was time for curtains, new art, pillows, etc. We are still a ways from being done, but its beginning to come together! We have completed refinishing the dining room table, but the chairs still need some work. I didn't know refinishing was such a chore! I think that about does it for the list of projects. I'll save our plans for the basement for another day. Here is what's done so far, with more pics to come in the future!
Pillows, mirrors from Kirkland's and a house blessing complete this wall. This is my comfy chair, now for some tea and quiet....LOL
