Reno-cation: Here We Go!

April 19, 2011 By Lena

In case y’all are wondering what I was up to yesterday… I was watching this:

Turn into this:

On the plus side, I’ve learned how effective dropsheets are at catching wayward cookie crumbs. No sweeping for me!

    I can't believe you have that white of a house with two little guys! I purposefully decorated my house the color of dirt! :)

    @she – that furniture was purchased before we knew we were pregnant with our first! Funny thing… the delivery truck arrived on the same day that I got the call from my doctor's. Hubby and I looked at each other and were like… UH OH!@Shauna – thanks for the vote of confidence! We're switching around our living arrangements… if you think back to the charity raffle, when I had temporarily moved the sectional into the living room – well, I kind of like it there. So I'm making the living room/dining room a "great room", and making the family room our dining room. Cross your fingers for me!

    @Farah – ha ha ha, I'm hoping the "after" is up to snuff! It was the room immediately to your right when you enter my house… but it's quite easy to just pass it by.
