OMG, I love it. I hadn't realised how dark and dreary the house was but my life was dreary so it all just blended. I'm not even sure which room I like the best but I know one thing for sure I will be showing them all off. Right now the dining room is a catch all for my purged but not yet removed from the house crap, so you won't be seeing it.
I don't take before pictures. Most of the time I suddenly just decided to do something and it isn't even planned so I don't think of it in, before and after, terms. and the other reason is, I like to move forward and look forward, not backwards. I have been scouring my blog looking for some good before photos but there aren't any. I realised that I hated the way the house looked so I would pull the subject matter in close so as not to include a lot of background. But now, things are different, Oh yes, very different.
Before.

More old person green. |
After:
We love it |
The wooden sign was a gift from my seester |
I love hearts and found these irresistible |
The girls made these as a Valentines craft but I love them and think I will mount them to some wood and leave them up. |
Spray paint is my best friend.
I was shopping at Aldi months and months ago and I spotted the clock. I have been eyeing the big clocks but they were not something I would spend that kind of money on. This one was a bargain.
Now when I open the front door I am so happy to be home.
Next up, my room.
