Renovations

When summer started for some strange reason beyond my control I had the urge to finally de-wallpaper my entrance way, and my living room. Approximately 3 weeks later, one really sore neck, 4 layers of wallpaper (including the ceilings in both rooms), and way to much stress, and mess later.... this is what it looked like. ( I will never buy I house with wallpaper again!)

After a month of just looking at the walls like this I decided that the fixing and painting of the walls, ceiling, stairway (and ceiling in the way to high stairway) was not going to be done by me who had just found out that I was pregnant. I am very thankful that I didn't do it myself as it would have taken me days, and there is no way I could have done it with the kids running around my feet!

The before picture of the living room is slightly inaccurate as the picture above was photoshoped to see what it would look like without the wood trim, and silly me accidentally deleted the original. The wood trim was really hard to work with so we did end up taking it down, and are very happy with the result of that!

I haven't hung any pictures yet, only because I'm scared to put the first hole in the wall! I'm sure I will eventually, just want to make sure I know exactly where I want them before I do it!

My livingroom is now my favorite place to sit, so cozy at night! So nice to have it done!
Its not completely decorated the way I want it to be, but that will come in time, and with money:-)
