Home Sweet Home - Mid way Photos

I say midway because there's always something to improve on a home.  I finally emptied my craft room of boxes, I even brought a rack to hang my embelishments from a closing scrap store.  Slowly getting the pieces were I want them but this is pretty much what my room looks like.  The cabbage patch in the chair is one of the original all cloth pieces from Xaiver Roberts, my grandma had purchased one for each of her grand daughters in the early 80's.  there's also a desk to the left centered under the window but my camera is not that wide angled.

On to the bano (guest bath) Picked up this sweet little shower curtain at target.  Giving it a try, its a little shiny for my liking but the color is dead on!

Our Bedroom

Kitchen
My mom worked really hard to help us pull together our country kitchen look.  Just waiting on a few more personal touches.  Hubbys great grandfather actually peddled milk!  Can't wait to put up some authentic milk bottles and canning jars.

View from the other side.  We'll be hanging some lanterns on the wall soon.

The Den, curtains and art hung!

Love that the ceiling fan has a matching Edison light bulb to the pendants in the kitchen.

There's only one room left to do now, its our front entry/parlor area. 

Move is a four letter word

I've come to realize there are more 4 letter bad words, they include Pack, Move, and Demo.
This past weekend we officially moved...to a box fortress. Kidding.

Here's a few up date pictures of the demo process and what our home felt like before we took over.

Home Sweet Home - Before Photos

This is the house I grew up in, the house we will be moving into hopefully by next weekend depending on the work that needs to be done.

From the front door on your right theres a living room that was converted to a bedroom.  We're going to UN convert it and open the space back up.  We also want to take down the funny stone half wall to widen the entry way.

The Kitchen - New Cabinets eventually

When we remodel the kitchen the pony wall will be knocked out to open the view to the den.

The Den

The hallway:  leads to 3 bedrooms, laundry room and bath.

Left Bedroom: Going to be Hubby's new office

Right Bedroom: Going to be my new scraproom...and then hopefully a nursery.

The Master:  Needed the most work.  Tearing out the old A/C, patching holes and ripping wallpaper.

Updated Photo: start of tear down.

last but not least our cute little patio.

So the carpet's been ordered, right now the delivery date is next Thursday.  If that all goes well we can move furniture in next weekend.  In the next 2 weeks I should have some good after "face lift" photos.
