Recap of our Before and Afters So Far and TODAY ONLY SALE

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sorry  - I have been a bit behind on blogging! We have been busy painting though and should have some new things to show you soon. We are almost done painting the upstairs hallway (the walls and trim are done, I'm just finishing up the doors) and have finished up with the doors and trim in the first guest bedroom and I'm hoping to paint the walls in there tonight. I also found a sideboard yesterday at a consignment shop so I can't wait to add that to our dining room. And I think I may have found a hutch for in there as well, although I haven't decided on that for sure yet. I also need to photograph our window treatment in the kitchen above the sink that I made several weeks ago as well as several of our new Christmas products. Now that we are starting painting the upstairs I thought that we would do a little recap of the progress we've made downstairs. Except for the family room, we still have projects left in all these spaces but they at least look quite a bit more fresh and updated then when we moved in!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First, here is the kitchen. We still plan on replacing the counters and the sink and when we do that we will have the counter overhang on the peninsula so we can add some counter height stools.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggatl7Zf_bRZU-Yz66FxHwhoSdTBnX8n6yBkZuWWhkk2m6-KMepaUt_YR4f2sQmQAVGqOWgTTrzWgG9mdMd2a64R6oyFAj2jN3k5fYzFhyphenhyphen1ZQXNZsKe4Su9OtoOXKRzwaWo3VV40ptEWA/s640/aDBeforeAfter2b.jpg" width="462" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnRCtWBK6zdMvKF4pzqKsH2bh0q1G6bdnayBPf-CyG1o821FoAHRamB6yoG5-EFuTFDkPujTwOthzfzNBKSC6wH-B5glpCo72GcWS4PXXhPIu6qJwYuDdR7Mfr9JPVfMPTkqT7dzR3R4E/s1600/aDBeforeAfter2c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnRCtWBK6zdMvKF4pzqKsH2bh0q1G6bdnayBPf-CyG1o821FoAHRamB6yoG5-EFuTFDkPujTwOthzfzNBKSC6wH-B5glpCo72GcWS4PXXhPIu6qJwYuDdR7Mfr9JPVfMPTkqT7dzR3R4E/s640/aDBeforeAfter2c.jpg" width="462" /></a></div><br />This room is the only room that I would consider pretty much done for the time being.

I'd love to eventually get a different table for in here and someday wallpaper the upper half of the walls but so far haven't found a paper that I love that's not ridiculously expensive. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQOoKVkp7cbP8Z_zV0minB9cocINOFvJaGkx9z3iseqCrJZJxuH11RfP0NWsQ7NY4qVoHOkPWxVB-rAF8Ysugslbbyg8HGqgXIedV2rjP4-ssHXlsXVUYJBHVOBLSvc8B4AV2iKvsxhK8/s1600/oBeforeAFter.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQOoKVkp7cbP8Z_zV0minB9cocINOFvJaGkx9z3iseqCrJZJxuH11RfP0NWsQ7NY4qVoHOkPWxVB-rAF8Ysugslbbyg8HGqgXIedV2rjP4-ssHXlsXVUYJBHVOBLSvc8B4AV2iKvsxhK8/s640/oBeforeAFter.jpg" width="451" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7n5ytiK_nJSGupvxoYivGePvG2q35GHJDXq4WLau86U639ThTmzDkwG0qyE9wSWFJBjfwx43-HoUFYxpVvmTkgdebaeNMZgT03xxYtZpw0GGDMDQ6Sa4pOkYkyUTvOOPOh8urJwH3yxU/s1600/Hbeforeafterhall3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7n5ytiK_nJSGupvxoYivGePvG2q35GHJDXq4WLau86U639ThTmzDkwG0qyE9wSWFJBjfwx43-HoUFYxpVvmTkgdebaeNMZgT03xxYtZpw0GGDMDQ6Sa4pOkYkyUTvOOPOh8urJwH3yxU/s640/Hbeforeafterhall3.png" width="458" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This room we did the least in.
