I was thinking about posting my before and after photos of the house and then I received a sweet note from my graini-aunt requesting them so in order to keep her happy, I will oblige. Ha, it doesn't take much arm twisting, does it?
As you ALL know, I'm not much for house cleaning. I do love house decorating or more specifically, house RE-decorating or re-arranging. As a child, I loved re-arranging my bedroom. When I bored of that, I would talk my little brother into changing rooms with me and I had a whole new playground to re-arrange and re-decorate. As I bored with that, it was not uncommon for my mom to come home to a totally re-arranged living room. One of my kiddos has caught that re-arranging bug and before she left for college, I sometimes arrived home to a whole new looking house! I loved it. I don't know whether Mom or Hubby appreciated my changing their environment, but this strawberry was bursting with pride the first day I walked in and my family room was totally different. Ahhhhh I digress.
Our new digs came already furnished! Everything's comin' up roses.....and I DO mean roses. I've never seen so many flowers in one room as I saw that first day we laid eyes on the house. Well, the second thing. The first thing I saw was the baby grand piano in the corner!!!! Can you believe it??? I have a baby grand! (Well, it's not mine, but in my house....well, not my house, the church owns it, but you get my drift!)
Here is a picture of the room BEFORE we moved in. Let's face it; we could have moved in that day before loading up our own stuff. Do your eyes concentrate on all the roses.....or the baby grand? Be honest. Yep, those flower patterns on the couches and the flowers in the rugs and the flowers on the wall and the flowers in the lamps.....YES, there are flowers in the lamps that match the flowers on top of the piano!!!! Gosh, I love these people!
But really; what's a house without your own crap, I ask ya?
Notice my Lone Star throw blanket? YeeHaw!
Now realize, this is a work in progress. My Christmas stockings are on a chair because I haven't found a place to hang them. We don't have a fireplace anymore and wall space is very limited so they might just wind up staying on that chair!
Graini-aunt: this is the only room that is worth taking a picture. If I get off my fanny and get to work, I'll have more photos to show you.
