Whew! Looking back on nearly two years of blogging and I just can't believe how much my house has changed.
I blame that on blogging.{It's a good kind of blame, really!}
So many wonderful people and amazing inspiration out there.
This is the result of two years of hard work and trying to make a house pretty on a nothing budget.
For the sake of not scaring anyone too much, I am going to show the "afters" and then the "befores"
Perhaps my favorite {and cheapest} project is my kitchen:

~Living Room~
Before
~Dining Room~
Before
~ Bathroom~
Before
~Bedroom~
Before
~ Porch~
Amazing isn't it, what a little bit of time can do?
I started off not having a great eye for it, no money, and no experience. Each project has been so much fun and such a great learning experience for me!

The changes are remarkable and you must feel so good about giving new life to such a precious old home! I think that these houses need to be preserved by people like you and your husband, who realize their true value and worth that goes far beyond monetary. Congrats! Hugs, Leena
