before+after

on Tuesday, May 18, 2010
though it's not really a "before" because none of that stuff was ours...this was before we moved in

and it's not really an "after" because I can count about 27 things I've moved, changed, hung up, installed or bought (like a piano and a giant coffee table) since I took these photos a month ago and it doesn't include the projects waiting to happen (like installing cupboards in the horrible laundry room, finish painting various rooms and a kitchen tile backsplash)

and I didn't even photograph some halls, the bathrooms or the basement because they're about the same in all of their seventies glory

so this is more of an
"entirely different+during"
than a
"before+after"

and today I made my bed

    Wow! You guys have sure been busy! Love each one of the new rooms. So much better by far. I am curious to know where you put the piano though, and if you like it, and what color it is, and how it sounds...... :)

    I love all of your creativeness...love it and would love to pick your brain- in a non scary kinda way ;) So my question is 1. what is hanging on the door in your hall closet? and 2. What/ How did you paint your kitchen chairs....I have those exact chairs and have painted one only to find out that $20 a quart can of paint I used- didn't work!!! I can scrape it off on the edges with my fingernail. BTW- thanks for keeping it real and showing us what a "real mom's" house looks like and not a spotless show home!!!
