It’s official! One room is COMPLETELY finished! Well, except for the AMAZING lamps that Josh created from old tree stumps…they will be featured in a later blog. He has to re-wire the rest of the room before we can place the lamps in there, right now there’s no place to plug them in! Anyway, the living room is DONE! My awesome sis, Deb, visited last week and helped me TREMENDOUSLY by painting my house for me. 
I helped, but it was her expert cutting in that saved the day.
Here’s my messy kitchen nook. Eventually what i’d like to do is have Josh build small pantry shelves on either side of the entry way which I would cover with my wonderful fabric that is currently in my sewing basket. I’m also going to get a white pedestal table as a breakfast table to go in here. Josh will make a bench to go under the window and around the corner. Maybe paint the bookshelf/hutch i have in there white? Right now i have absolutely NO pantry. Nice.
The pictures don’t convey it completely but it is so COZY in that room with the warm wall color, the big HUGE comfy couch, and amazing big thick wood trim everywhere. The ceiling fan which was originally in the kitchen completes the craftsmen style that the whole downstairs has. Once i get my sewing machine in the mail I’ll make the curtains and hang them up on the big windows. 
Now see my beautiful fabric curtain that i made with some of my fabric. It will also get a valance of a different fabric but I need a sewing machine to finish that piece.
Picture the curtain next to the new cabinet color of red enamel for a french provencale style:
That’s all I have to show for today. Next time I’ll go into a triade about the reno in the soon to be powder room formerly the downstairs coat closet. That’s an interesting story.
