Once upon a time, this was Annie’s room.Since I didn’t know whether she was going to be a boy or girl (I wanted to be surprised), I decorated it sort of gender-neutral…black, white, and red. It was really cute, if I do say so myself. This was (well, still is) KB’s room.The walls are a gorgeous watermelon pink, and the bedding and valances are all shades of pink and green….

More Before-and-After Pics: Big Sis’ Room.
Well, our Ten Year Anniversary came and went last week, and I haven’t posted any sentimental pictures chronicalling the joys of the past 10 years, like I intended to! Honestly that’s just because I’m a little lazy; most of those pics were pre-digital-camera and I’ll have to scan and upload each and every one of them! So, I’m saving that for if and when I ever get caught up on…

More Before and After Pictures: The Sunroom
This room has changed drastically since we bought the house! It was added on in the 1960s by the previous owner, and she had her collection of wicker in this room. It was like The Museum of All Things Wicker…..every single thing, even the birdcage and lamps, were wicker! And the astroturf carpet was a nice touch. Really, though it wasn’t my style, I could see the potential. The ceiling…

Before and After.
Well, I guess now that our house is for sale, I won’t be entering any home improvement contests after all. I may regret that someday, but I just can’t handle ONE MORE THING on my to-do list at this point. So, over the next few days I’ll post before and after pics of my house. I’ll start with the entry and stairs, before:And after:And here’s the front of our house,…

Landscaping. Day Three.

*FiNaLLy………LaNDSCaPiNG!!!*
Whew…..we’re tired! We’ve spent the past two days digging and pruning and setting out plants, in preparation for the Azalea Trail starting this weekend!! Well, actually, I have to admit I’m not nearly as tired as BF and his friend Paul; I had childcare duty today, which makes landscaping on a semi-busy street semi-IMPOSSIBLE….so I had to leave most of the work to them today. Its going to require at…

Where are the PICTURES??
This whole blog was supposed to be about progress on our little house project, since almost daily people ask me, “How’s the house coming?” I wanted to be able to point people HERE to see for themselves how hard we’re working! Well ~ I found a little home improvement contest that I want to enter, and I think we SHOULD after the 3 years of torture that we’ve lived through…

My *FaBuLouS* Kitchen….Before it Was Fabulous!
I am SO proud of this room….I tore pictures out of magazines for years, and saved them, in hopes of having the 1920’s-style kitchen of my dreams someday! After living kitchen-less for 2 1/2 years (I made do with a microwave and a crock pot!), we finally finished, and I am having SO much fun cooking up a storm. I was never much into cooking before; now I’m a Cooking…

Our Latest Project, the Sunroom!
OK, I’m going backwards, I know, but I’ll start with our latest project because its the one I’m most excited about….well, other than the kitchen, but only because THIS project means we are ALMOST FINISHED! For the past 2 1/2 years we’ve used our 570 square foot sunroom as a storage room! We just didn’t have the funds to tackle such a HUGE project and it took us a while…
