MORE PROGRESS!

My furniture is now in the front room. I am so excited about it. It looks fantastic! Thanks to Myrna & James for storing them for me for the last 4 years! (It worked out well because I as able to see my couches up against her kitchen walls and knew I had to have that color in my front room because it goes with the couches perfectly.) But first, you have to see the "before"...
This is the way Kent had his front room.

The buffet & dinning table & chairs are projects that Myrna and I re-finished. That's the results of all the sanding, dusting, painting and finishing that we did. We went to Wal-mart after a Ward Conference Leadership training on Saturday and bought the PERFECT material for the seat cushions on the chairs. (they're not on right now. Once they are it'll break up that big mass of black in that area. lol!) It's a dark red with swirls in it that are almost the same color as the curtains. They go beautifully with the couches.

I can't wait until the curtains are hung on the front window. It'll really make that bench pop. There's a night stand at the end of the bench now, but that's not staying. That goes in the craft room. It's just sitting there for now until I can find the perfect table to go there. I can still kick myself for not getting myself tables like we got for my parents house. They would be perfect in mine. Oh well. Something else will be found.

These pictures really don't do the room justice. You'll just have to see it to know how great it has turned out. I am so excited to move in- even more than before! Now, if we can just get the bathroom done so we can move on to the kitchen and have all of the major projects done... It's going to be fantastic!
