One room down...a whole lot left to do.

We knew when we bought this house there was A LOT that we wanted to do to make it our own. (Not to mention the walls were so dirty we are really better off repainting the whole inside than trying to spend hours cleaning them, cause they won't really get that clean) Well, after almost 2 months of living here we've finally finished one room! Hallelujah!!!! (We've done more painting, but nothing else is completely finished yet)

I've decided that it's hard to get a good picture of a whole room. These pics make it look much smaller & crowded than it really is. I'm really happy with how it turned out, but I'm still too exhausted to finish another room right now. My painting arm needs a break. I'm going to stick to small projects this week. Heaven knows I have a lot of them to do, not to mention laundry, unpacking more boxes & cleaning this house. There's a lot to do, but I'm still thrilled to wake up in this beautiful house every day, and feel so blessed to have had the Lord put this in the plans for us. We love it!
