Before and After

Here are a few before and after pictures of our living room and dining room.  When I was looking at these I couldn't believe the difference that some paint and opening up a wall will do!  I am glad we lived in our house a while before doing this because I wouldn't have thought to open it up had I not lived in it a while first.  We are really enjoying the more open floor plan.  There are still a few things we have to do and put away.  And we are hoping to get a new chair soon because the poor recliner is on its last leg but my dear husband loves it so much!

Curls

Anna Riley's hair is getting a lot thicker in the back and is starting to curl especially when it is wet.  (Please excuse the dirty mirror...it was clean at one time but she is constantly kissing herself and touching it so it doesn't stay clean for very long!)
