I finally got these rooms ready for photos and here they are. I’m very glad everything looks fresh and very decluttered but it was a lot of work. We gave away stuff, took 3 loads to Goodwill and 2 loads of boxes to the recycle center. There are still a few things left on my to do list but they will happen as we have time and energy.
The biggest change was the new carpet in 3 bedrooms and hall. It is Stainmaster from Lowe’s and we are very happy with the carpet but the process went so badly, I won’t spell out all details but the manager refunded 30% of the purchase price. So that kind of the made up for the terrible customer service.
This is the grandchildren’s room. It has a new trundle bed and new curtains.
And new coffee tables with edges around the top to keep the Legos and Calico Critters corralled.
The bed and table are from Amazon.
The guest room/ “just in case” food room is hard to photograph.
I ordered lamps for this room, but we liked them so much, we put them in the master bedroom and have reordered the same ones for this room.
Lots of food, checked curtains from Amazon
Also in the guest room - nothing new though
This is the sewing room and computer room. 3 of our vintage Ethan Allen pieces were moved in here and they are great storage.
The work table is new and from Walmart
The desk got a coat of paint, check curtains from Amazon
This rolling cart is for the grandchildren when they want to freestyle craft.
It’s from Amazon.
These hall photos show the carpet
Breakfast room has new curtains from Vermont Country Store and a dining set from Walmart
Formal dining room had no changes except we took the leaves out of the table several months ago. -no big family meals have happened here since covid anyway
The living room is not finished - we need to repaint and change around the art but that will come later.
And yesterday I decided to just go ahead and decorate for Christmas too.
The braided rug and check curtains are new.
Living room from the other end
Close up of these Santas because I think they are so cute
When I visit blogs and try to comment, it tells me I am not signed in. ☹️ I try to sign in and then it still says the same thing.
I will try to get it figured out this week
Have a good week everyone - anyone else already decorated for π Christmas?
