I'm not even going to go into details of what we've done since I last posted. There's been a lot of work done. And the important thing: we're all moved in. And have been for 3 months, lol!
But I wanted to give you the before and after pictures of the living room since that is the room that is the most finished. It's not totally done, but it's nearly there.
BEFORE
The flooring was not in great shape and a color I didn't like. I know it might seem like a sin to paint that wood trim around the windows, but it wasn't taken care of and had paint smears on it. And look how dark it made the whole room...
Yeah, I have no idea what was in that white square in the wall... And there is the handsome hubby!
The people who owned the house before us were foreclosed on. They took a few things when they got kicked out. The fireplace was one of them...
AFTER

Sorry for the low quality image. With so much back light I had to do some major lightening of the image so you could see anything. But there are my beautiful books, our lounging chairs, and the handwriting curtains that I made a few weeks back.

That wooden door will be painted white when the weather gets warm enough to paint outside. And I am still undecided about the fate of the wood behind the fireplace...

There you have it! Our living room thus far. There is still work to be done but it is coming along. This is absolutely my favorite room in the house. It's a room we can sit and talk in, a great room to read in, and I am so happy with how it is coming along!
