Just wanted to share more of the joy that we call our home. (I know...I could make a collage or slideshow - but, that takes more time. So, we're doing it the non-creative old fashion way. In case you couldn't tell - I don't even take the time to edit pictures - pathetic really. But, it's either that or nothing at all.)
We have a real dishwasher! OK - so just ignore the fact that it was installed crooked. But, it's exciting to be able to start the dishwasher and not have to worry about when I need to turn the water off, it's quiet and under the counter - thus, taking up the least amount of room as possible.
This charming cherub clock was found on the wall in our bedroom. Ya...it's true - I don't see the hour hand either. But, it does chime every hour - so, you really do have a good idea about what time it is. Our first night here, Layne took it off the wall and turned off the lovely hourly tune it played. The next day, Rachel pulled off the second hand. Needless to say - we said a fond farewell.
Check out the 'shiny' wallpaper. This picture does not give the wall the glaring praise it deserves. Each room in this house (main/up) has shiny wallpaper (different in each room) and LONG, thin drapes. (Most of it just seems like a large piece of lace.) There's also wallpaper that runs the length of the hall and into the front room - with a different style of wallpaper on the adjacent wall. How's that for style? Can you say, 'This room needs an update?'
This has to be one of the favorites! Is this not THE most romantic decorating you could picture for a 'master bedroom'? Try going to sleep under this every night.:} By the way - what color is the carpet anyway? Is there a name for that? (I know it's hard to tell with just a tiny corner of it showing - but, I think you'd have a tough time coming up with a name even if you could see the whole floor.)

Teresa,
I'm so excited to finally see pictures of your house! You can be sure we would love to come to a "before" party and join you in coming up with ways to work with yellow, etc. You are smart to take some "before" photos anyway, because we've often been in the middle of changing things and realized we've forgotten the before pictures. You can't really appreciate all the effort of the upgrades you'll make along the way without documenting from where you've come!!! No matter what the decor, you've got a house that you can make your own with all your own touches and that's just fabulous!
PS I'm so excited to hear Jeff and Dascha had a baby! Congrats to them!!!!!
wow that bedroom curtain is pretty cool. I do have to say that it would be even cooler if the same theme was used to surround a canopy bed - hanging lamps and all. Very romantic with the added bonus of keeping out mosquitos.
teresa, you are hilarious!!! reading your stories you say things in such a hilarious way, I love it! your home looks very nice, that will be fun to get some updates. p.s. I totally agree... I can't go for all the fancy stuff.. editing..etc either, it's do it or not! it's that simple. I am glad you guys are doing great!
Awesome. But you know what? It is yours! Yea for that! You can do, or not do, whatever you want to it! That, my sister, is the beauty of owning.
