Good thing I don't have a large blog following, because they would have declared mutiny long ago. Sorry for the long hiatus, but being a new homeowner, mom and full time student- oh, and wife!- are proving tough to juggle (more on that another day.)
For now, I give you some much anticipated before and after photos from our house:
Living room: notice the lovely "faux finish" on the walls. I think it was applied via the spl;atter paint method with some sort of broom.
The little babe's room- I was getting paid back for all of the wallpaper borders Mom and I put up a decade or 2 ago!
Our sweet friend helping us strip wallpaper in the early nineties kitchen from you-know-where
said kitchen again
aaaand- the striped wallpaper of the dining room- alternating velour strips, of course! We debated taking that one down ;)Here's the dining room after:
Mom's chairs recovered in funky 50's-esque print, rug from PB outlet and some fun paint- once we get art and a light fixture up we'll be ready for some dinner parties!Well, folks, I'm having a little trouble with Blogger photo uploading, so this is the only "after" you get this time! (or is this my ploy to get you to read my blog more often?)
Either way, I will take some more pics and let you see the changes- the biggest thing we're excited about today is that our coutertops are in and we now have a gas line for our new range! Thank God I have made it this long without a kitchen- now I'll really need the prayers of St. Euphrosynos to cook for my family!
