Housework

   It's coming along! Slowly, but surely.
      Cori gave me a hand (thank you!) with the basement family room. I somehow never took pictures of the basement, so you'll have to use your imagination. It was a very drab and scuffed up beige when we moved in. Here's the after pictures. Well... mid pictures. I still have to decorate and rearrange. Decorating seems to be where I stall in each room!

 

I would like to make over the fireplace. I really hate that tile!!

 

Here's my bathroom before:

 

Yuck.

Here's after (mid):

                It might be hard to see, but that's a very light blue on the ceiling. Thanks Pinterest!

 

I was in need of cute curtains in the living room, but couldn't find anything I liked that was a reasonable price... So I bought a set of sheets! Another Pinterest find. Thank goodness other people come up with good ideas for me!

 

 

 

We hung a couple pendant lights.

In the entry way;

 

And over the dining table;

 

 

And that's that! Next up is the main bathroom, laundry room, basement bedroom, and then I move on to the outside of the house. Lots of trim to be scraped and painted! I plan to paint the stucco on the front of the house. We're going to put up a fence soon. We have another round of weed killing to do this fall, and then we can finally start landscaping. (And by landscaping, I mean planting a few things around the house that can survive me.) Maybe I'll even manage to put some things up on the walls in between these projects!
