As you know, we have been painting a ton this fall and then we decided to add a project to the list when we knew the room was going to be torn up anyway. So we finally pulled the trigger and added paneling--something we have been wanting to do for the past year. And we couldn't be happier with the results! I have a meatier step-by-step post coming up; but, I wanted to stop in and share the progress! We still haven't put back the dining room table ...

The Power of Paint: Our Living Room Before-and-After
Most of the work we have done on the house has been painting. We are lucky to have bought a house that for now, just needs aesthetic fixes which can all be accomplished with paint--the budget-homeowner's favorite tool.

How to Add Color to a Neutral Nursery
This past weekend, Jack rolled over for the first time! So the vintage table/ changing table had to lose the changing table part. It would be way too easy for him to flip off. Instead, I have been changing him on a blanket on the bed or on the floor. While I still store all his diaper supplies over there, it now houses his toys as well. We put the shallow bookshelves up which store all the books--post to come later this week; but, we still needed some place to store his toys. Bringing out the ...
