When
we bought this house over 3 years ago, we went out and got
this gorgeous fabric to re-cover the couch. In fact, this
fabric is the reason the living room walls have been this
color for the past 2 1/2 years! A couple of weeks ago, some
friends gave us this couch and we decided this was the perfect
couch for the fabric.....so I took the plunge and covered
it. Doesn't it look great in the room?

Here's
a slightly broader view of the living room. I painted the
lamps bright yellow, to go with the yellow in the upholstery
fabric. Eventually there will be a wicker chair to replace
the antique wooden chair that you see.

This
is blurry, but here is the wall over the entertainment center.
A large ugly mirror used to hang there. To the right is a
paper lantern that really gives great ambience to the whole
room.

The
dining room has one corner that has various purple plates
and a calligraphy print of "When I'm an Old Woman I
Shall Wear Purple." That seemed like the perfect spot
for this painting that Miranda did for me for Mother's Day.
It looks even better there in person than it does in the
photo!

I
also finally framed this leaf print that Marshall made in
school a couple of years ago. It looks really good on the
dining room wall.

We
pulled up the icky carpet in Miranda's room and found the
wood floor in pretty good condition underneath. The room is
a bit of a wreck in this picture, thanks to Rick, but at least
you can see the floor!

A
few months ago, I decided to start painting, even though
I have no artistic ability whatsoever. Here is my very first
painting. While it was drying, Sissy (one of our cats) peed
on it! Everyone's a critic....sheesh....

|
Here's
the second one. I was kind of proud of this one....not to
mention shocked that she actually looked like what she was
supposed to be! LOL
|
|
Here
is the second heart I did, at Miranda's request.

| More
to come as we progress in our redecorating! |
