The Finished Product!

I have been wanting to get the house decorated to make me happy since we moved in. Michael and I have always lived in small apartments and have never bought any decorations anywhere we have ever lived, so now that we are finally in a house, I wanted it to feel like a home and not just a temporary living space. SO, I called Kathy Lee and she came up with this genius master plan for our living/dining/kitchen area and when she came Spring Break, we finally put it all together! :) To see the before, go to this post first and see the pics. Since I loaded the pics on my old computer I can't just post them side by side for you. This is the view starting at the front door and going around the circle...Closer view of on top of the stairs (not sure why some of these pics are so dark):Going toward the dining room:

We recovered the chairs (originally beige-not kid friendly):The kitchen:I am so excited about how it all turned out! It is nice to come home to a warm welcoming house that is fully decorated and something that I can be proud of! I think Michael feels the same way about how the backyard turned out. We feel so blessed to have a yard for the girls to play in and a house full of love to raise them!
