So much left to do! Landscaping, kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, molding, paint, new furniture... I have big plans for 2012 (and beyond).
Happy New Year! :-)
WOW!!! What a great home! You did a fantastic job. Each room looks great. The bedroom is my favorite, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
What an amazing transition. It looks great! I love the wallpaper on a single wall in the living room. It's beautiful and really opens up the room.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE what you did with the WHOLE house! Looks amazing! I especially love the curtains in the bedroom!
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a comfortable home...~ Great job.
ReplyDeleteLove the wall paper. And the color of your room.
ReplyDeleteWow. Just WOW. You've done a ton of amazing work with your home!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much! :D
ReplyDeleteimpressive how much clean walls and hardwood floor can make a difference, but the b&w details and jewel tones make it pretty freakin amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful house you have! You are doing a very very good job! It's so beautiful! I wanna move in, lol! Keep the great work in 2012! :D
ReplyDeleteWell done. I love the before and after comparisons.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, everyone. I really appreciate the comments! :D
ReplyDeleteI adore your home! It's inspiring me to actually do some work on my own...I've been in there for 3 and a half years and done almost NOTHING. I hate the paint on the walls, I need new windows, my husband wants to finish the basement...and what has happened is minimal. I think I'm still in a rental mindset...and a lazy/poor mindset...and a busy-during-useful-months midset...must change it to something I adore!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Painting the walls is a good kickstarter project that is inexpensive and can be done in a weekend. A change in paint color can make a huge difference and encourage you to do more projects.
