So, we're getting there. There is actually color on the walls. Never got an official before shot but there wasn't much to see. Before the green wall was white with that little welcome wreath and that's it.
Now it, hopefully, is a warm welcome to our house. Sean built and stained the little table. I had a little fun shopping. :) One of the photos (our hands held...one of my favorite photos ever) was taken by Tara Whitney and the other one I caught of Mac on the beach this summer. The ivy topiary is real and will probably meet it's demise soon enough, but I decided to try it anyway and hope it'll grow. Two of the dining room walls are a buttery mustard-ish yellow. I love how it sets off the red hutch we have...made it my favorite room even more now.
What I carefully cropped out was the disaster the house is right now. You can only see a corner of the Pier One bags sitting in the dining room. You can't see the two valances that are laid out on the floor since we're painting another wall right now. You can't see the pile of stuff to hang back up...so much left to do
...slowly but surely we're getting there.
