Dining Room...again

My inspiration more...2 years ago. I hated the little tiny mirrors though, wanted simpler crown molding, and to personalize it MY way. There are 2 things left undone...I'll give a prize to the first person to notice which 2 things still need done! (And if you find something that I hadn't noticed, I might have to hurt you!

before...

after...(i really wish I'd shown the crown molding in this picture! UGH!)

Here's one with the crown... the mirror (and in another pic you'll see 3 small orange canvasses) are from Kmart...(i hate Kmart!) the sconces are from ebay. It took me HOURS to find the right ones. The curtains don't match but I bet you'd never notice (and no, that isn't one of the 2 things), one set is from Amazon and one from JC Penny...

Here's another random pic...notice my 2 huge pans hanging between the windows. I was nervous about that idea...i LOVE it. So convenient.

kitchen...(notice my collection of utensils on my countertop has grown exponentially. While I don't like taking counterspace, I do love me some Pampered Chef!!!)


Notice the carpet in this one...

NO MORE CARPET!!!! (also, here are those 3 little canvasses...fake canvasses is what i mean)

anther random...

These last 2 are really hard to get good pictures of with a point and shoot camera...but you can see a big difference still.

All in all, i think I kicked the original inspiration photo's BUTT. Better mirror(didn't know all along what i was gonna do, but since i did do a mirror..it is better...)Better crown. And personalized perfectly "A messy kitchen is a happy kitchen" (even if it does drive me completely nuts!!!) And to finish it off...my hubby used a ceiling pan rack so I could hang my pans in the cupboard. I LOVE it.

My kitchen might not be big, but I think I have the best one.

Before and Afters! (Finally!)

This first picture is just an example of how badly our house needed siding! (For those who think we just had an extra $15,000 sitting there ready to pay for sidding. LOL)

Before...this was literally taken the day before they started tearing the house apart.

after...we need some house numbers!

before...

after....this one shows the great need for shutters!

Now when I'm at the park with friends and they ask which house is mine I can say "The green one!" instead of... "well...it kinda looks like the others..it's the 3rd one in if count starting with the blue one...etc.."
