Before & After: 6 Month Update

I cannot believe we have only been living in our new home for 6 months. We've owned it for 7 months now (we waited about a month to move in), but it feels like we've been here forever. Even though there is still a laundry list of things to accomplish, it amazes me how much we have accomplished in such a small amount of time.

Here are the Before & After photos of the house after 7 months of ownership:

So there is also a kitchen and another bedroom, but we've made little progress on the kitchen and NO progress on the other bedroom. (Not to mention the kitchen looks like a hot mess at the moment.) Therefore, we won't be viewing those right this minute. I'll give you an update on those soon.

Not bad progress for 6 months, huh? We're pretty proud or as Nate would say..."house proud".

Until next time...

Inspired: Design*Sponge Blog

It may be Wednesday, but before I post a "That's so Wrong" image I HAD to show you an inspiring room I found on my new favorite blog.

Now it may be my love for grey paint or my new found appreciation of making wood paneling look amazing, but I am in love with the "after" in this featured Before&After image.

OMG. I want to live in this room. Just look at those floors! I'm so in love with this shabby/chic room transformation. The best part is that it was done over a weekend for the grand total of $6.95. That's what I'm talking about. 

This room was created by Lucianna Samu who's blog I will now be checking in with to see what other mad-skills she has to show off. I'm ready to be impressed, Lucianna. Ready to be impressed.

Do you guys dig the shabby/worn-in look?

Until next time...
