Big Plans

Apologies once again for a long blogging hiatus, which wasn't really a hiatus so much as a top secret mission. But more on that later...

For right now, I wanted to show you our new rug!

It was more than we wanted to pay, but it went with the rooms - dining, kitchen & living room - so beautifully. And after months and months of searching with no luck, we decided to go for it. Then, of course, the kitties started digging in their claws... Lesson learned. No more pricey rugs, no matter how pretty or perfect they might seem! Oh well...

So now our downstairs is (almost) completely finished. Time to move upstairs and on to the next project!

This bedroom has functioned as simply a catch-all for our mismatched, crappy college furniture. It's functional as a basic guest bedroom, but perhaps it's time to give it a little TLC.

The south wall - the door to the room is just down a short hall on the left.

The west and north walls with the two windows in the corner

And the east wall with the closet and the short hall to the door

So I've got some ideas thanks entirely to the help of the lovely McGee. Greg and I hope to make serious progress and have the grand unveiling soon. We are in for a busy couple of months!
