I'd like to get two more of the oval chairs to use where the bench is and just move the bench somewhere else and I'm still pondering wallpaper or at least painting the walls a charcoal color but haven't gone ahead with that. And as I mentioned in the Rolling Cart post a couple of days ago I'd like to eventually find a hutch for in here and move the rolling cart up to my office. Other than that though, it's really starting to feel so much more finished. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK6nY38ubxJlyMYPmm73CSYxES-igjSxMBYidmDuV56FOnu9AZQ5M8CCLD4BU1-YpzQvpfYlB_jjHD-Ox55qYhRhaO2iTDYslxI0CstICg2B3FvX07FAlBNm5bCDO-bo9SrZliO4vxjnyr/s1600/aDSC_2712-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK6nY38ubxJlyMYPmm73CSYxES-igjSxMBYidmDuV56FOnu9AZQ5M8CCLD4BU1-YpzQvpfYlB_jjHD-Ox55qYhRhaO2iTDYslxI0CstICg2B3FvX07FAlBNm5bCDO-bo9SrZliO4vxjnyr/s1600/aDSC_2712-2.jpg" width="436" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNJFyvjbHXtUuTfS-jSQYcFdyvg3AzkyGxXDwlHKc5yakGEfq66-Yfxv-e_2Io5iilH_CTjI3phcfbCnibaOmnTA5moBKBYAFjRMlKBrQV9v9KeYaXUaqeVFAnRLGwFt1TCtNECuKyb6gc/s1600/aDSC_2666-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNJFyvjbHXtUuTfS-jSQYcFdyvg3AzkyGxXDwlHKc5yakGEfq66-Yfxv-e_2Io5iilH_CTjI3phcfbCnibaOmnTA5moBKBYAFjRMlKBrQV9v9KeYaXUaqeVFAnRLGwFt1TCtNECuKyb6gc/s1600/aDSC_2666-2.jpg" width="436" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwcAE5NmM2uXAac6id3Z6Zt75v1tBeqCHKRd3gVB3rQ_6T2ScxTuCiixR23_1D_7OxWKCwlt1xD2OSyqg3EIDv_JM0b39wN_HxmrpBzVBYOsygDevwbgqV1lQds_Rg6Xd741kHxljR16Tf/s1600/DBeforeandAfter5b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwcAE5NmM2uXAac6id3Z6Zt75v1tBeqCHKRd3gVB3rQ_6T2ScxTuCiixR23_1D_7OxWKCwlt1xD2OSyqg3EIDv_JM0b39wN_HxmrpBzVBYOsygDevwbgqV1lQds_Rg6Xd741kHxljR16Tf/s1600/DBeforeandAfter5b.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggz54L8IkTkrTLPrRLbfMUF1t5pd-XQgDOcIAhMf0206sfDJFuCmTj5xWueNdc3_jvUwYfgihB56J0oylII-jUY1z1wmckIQUl16b8CifOJvtkvbaE28_Usu6MjNhAKafQM4o_RO0rGZn2/s1600/aDSC_2731-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggz54L8IkTkrTLPrRLbfMUF1t5pd-XQgDOcIAhMf0206sfDJFuCmTj5xWueNdc3_jvUwYfgihB56J0oylII-jUY1z1wmckIQUl16b8CifOJvtkvbaE28_Usu6MjNhAKafQM4o_RO0rGZn2/s1600/aDSC_2731-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In the photo below you can see the wallpaper I am thinking about going with:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUeTzwy1u4CkETMAAz8WwfRk19RmLRTpBlC91dU98uaUBjSC8ibeo6u48yf5DpN_Gatsi69fCEbDL7TXh0c6TlzNCpDpNQ__P88y3Dl9b9LaiErLvkb74-znqRbmXjE59UJ9M1Jr6waJA/s1600/aDSC_2723-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUeTzwy1u4CkETMAAz8WwfRk19RmLRTpBlC91dU98uaUBjSC8ibeo6u48yf5DpN_Gatsi69fCEbDL7TXh0c6TlzNCpDpNQ__P88y3Dl9b9LaiErLvkb74-znqRbmXjE59UJ9M1Jr6waJA/s1600/aDSC_2723-2.jpg" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnDBFKh-f0WMV8kW-t78drJwJu3czbeOW66VZ2LObrzZ6idLiEHk3Q1ugfeNkxJAkvlvB3Dw70qEoVv3-VNV4qVHxnXtQCxdmA4Iij1nC21T3Hbw8y3PvPBJC4xEDElfChIq1JXSEs0MVz/s1600/aDSC_2702-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnDBFKh-f0WMV8kW-t78drJwJu3czbeOW66VZ2LObrzZ6idLiEHk3Q1ugfeNkxJAkvlvB3Dw70qEoVv3-VNV4qVHxnXtQCxdmA4Iij1nC21T3Hbw8y3PvPBJC4xEDElfChIq1JXSEs0MVz/s1600/aDSC_2702-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a close-up of the wallpaper.

A Little Tour Through All the Befores and Afters So Far

We also now have our bed and rug and I'm working on nightstands in our master bedroom. I finally got a desk and am working on the little office area of our guest bedroom and I think I've finally decided on a wallpaper for the upstairs bathroom (well, I keep changing my mind but for the moment I think I have decided) and possibly the dining room as well so while I am finishing up those things I thought we would do a little tour through the house and show some "befores" and "afters" of each room (well, technically we aren't done with any of the spaces so they are more like "during" than "afters").<br /><br />The first week we moved in we tackled this open space that contains the kitchen and family room.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXU9Yu-G_uTtrLGA58PqRLBgE_CBYmDAcmlMlJs3L8oFOZS4HKF9tfzbhxvTmJiQzQ8RDuz5atYbukHwB5yJZyabyEa0BCgK4NzO2tskwoWRGg0w3uZAiYkRbZXmcfeKLiVwgEikJaaEE/s1600/wFamilyRoom1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXU9Yu-G_uTtrLGA58PqRLBgE_CBYmDAcmlMlJs3L8oFOZS4HKF9tfzbhxvTmJiQzQ8RDuz5atYbukHwB5yJZyabyEa0BCgK4NzO2tskwoWRGg0w3uZAiYkRbZXmcfeKLiVwgEikJaaEE/s1600/wFamilyRoom1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> We kept our cost down on this project by just painting the cabinets and getting new appliances. We held off on replacing the counters and sink last summer but we are finally ready for that! Yay! I am so excited. I got our farmhouse sink and faucet ordered earlier this week and we are hoping to have that installed along with our new counters in the next month. I am still deciding on the backsplash... I will do a more lengthy post with those details in the future. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3GHGyQNxMSRWdlcjst6J78UvXNNKWN8QOq13uX_s0q_GiTGEWD8V8vGKBfTeOrvMhHm3YmG0p9atzr2PgM8A9v4JSWQcwlwLmyGM8XpP4e-58o43UxUJtX3RFEBuMlYkLFWVuB6vhvYc/s1600/wkitchen1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3GHGyQNxMSRWdlcjst6J78UvXNNKWN8QOq13uX_s0q_GiTGEWD8V8vGKBfTeOrvMhHm3YmG0p9atzr2PgM8A9v4JSWQcwlwLmyGM8XpP4e-58o43UxUJtX3RFEBuMlYkLFWVuB6vhvYc/s1600/wkitchen1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-t1ft81mDq2SVx7dJ60rHAp5DO193cJhX6Qm4d9Ggxr_vIlls00qYyfPMF7-dgwldvpEUpKcqZjNnxXLlVJtuZ9DySBqBnMMnR5LWQpGFljJuRWdYhwTEtRJqVju58WCrk7Rw_ea-wgs/s1600/wFamilyRoom2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-t1ft81mDq2SVx7dJ60rHAp5DO193cJhX6Qm4d9Ggxr_vIlls00qYyfPMF7-dgwldvpEUpKcqZjNnxXLlVJtuZ9DySBqBnMMnR5LWQpGFljJuRWdYhwTEtRJqVju58WCrk7Rw_ea-wgs/s1600/wFamilyRoom2.jpg" /></a></div><br />For a full source list for the items shown in these photos of our family room click <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/adding-some-spring-colors-in-our.html">here</a> or <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/p/our-home.html">here</a>.

Besides paint and changing out the light fixture this room didn't need as much work. I am still on the hunt for a hutch for the wall you don't see in these pictures and I'd like to wallpaper the upper half of the walls and change out the table eventually but here's what we've done so far:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFlNkeM4Ze6eZbxnLC_0G0y4-qpUq6s2nypW5URxTZGQPa1PKGQsjq4MOsPYkbL0fdMOv27tM7ftH5kf1sCeIDhgyT7j5riCIezSBK6QJufb-q-NQXx_oB7mXaxwoSC8zqkzUiER-D6ao/s1600/wdining2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFlNkeM4Ze6eZbxnLC_0G0y4-qpUq6s2nypW5URxTZGQPa1PKGQsjq4MOsPYkbL0fdMOv27tM7ftH5kf1sCeIDhgyT7j5riCIezSBK6QJufb-q-NQXx_oB7mXaxwoSC8zqkzUiER-D6ao/s1600/wdining2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Y_eLmTZvHB4uAHOFRD0OJM82vV31tInsq_Jbpq8NUfNc9cxjDa0LcdU02piEjaoLdBl9sKlK2Oah7WpAZdpHn2XzgNwsCUqIBVGJgxQuqyEm4zyUSKtDdQhoz8DJn0d1TKH4TRe_XZk/s1600/wdining1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Y_eLmTZvHB4uAHOFRD0OJM82vV31tInsq_Jbpq8NUfNc9cxjDa0LcdU02piEjaoLdBl9sKlK2Oah7WpAZdpHn2XzgNwsCUqIBVGJgxQuqyEm4zyUSKtDdQhoz8DJn0d1TKH4TRe_XZk/s1600/wdining1.jpg" /></a></div><br />Full source list for the items shown here in our dining room can be found <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/updated-dining-room.html">here</a> and you can find all dining room related posts <a href="http://www.dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/search/label/dining%20room">here</a>.  <br /><br />And here are the updates we've done in the den/study. This room required the least amount of work so far seeing how we have decided to keep the dark woodwork as is in here. I painted the walls a creamy color (they were a pale peach) and then just did some basic decorating in here using pretty much all things we already owned. Eventually I would like to put quite a bit more effort into this room and make it more masculine for Jon. We've talked about possibly moving a TV in here and I've been considering doing kind of a vintage sports theme but at this point we aren't in any hurry seeing how we have plenty of other projects ahead of this room on the list. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWoVtuQpT3uwndtIxPPLcOvIlPmx_DpD67wnvWY3SNyFoWfykuttI0fTi_LoV1Xxx7sDjUuD795PQiAxCJ4FfExX0en09VlT744DAESpTZHcVhboEA-3WAH1OSrdA0fmGuIsT6YEsrmAM/s1600/cDSC_3270.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWoVtuQpT3uwndtIxPPLcOvIlPmx_DpD67wnvWY3SNyFoWfykuttI0fTi_LoV1Xxx7sDjUuD795PQiAxCJ4FfExX0en09VlT744DAESpTZHcVhboEA-3WAH1OSrdA0fmGuIsT6YEsrmAM/s1600/cDSC_3270.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifoUuLRad1BLm1UYivtoSXoUqO3kqL-rg1sDxIGrsfvK2E5TXSqaJn8LVTQqK1-6EUmQXphx_nNALKMMhG16BPIkrfY83nwF_9zBoDtgxyk98Z0_4MQuaanMOlpnt5nseb6qJlWYpRdf4/s1600/cDSC_3284.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifoUuLRad1BLm1UYivtoSXoUqO3kqL-rg1sDxIGrsfvK2E5TXSqaJn8LVTQqK1-6EUmQXphx_nNALKMMhG16BPIkrfY83nwF_9zBoDtgxyk98Z0_4MQuaanMOlpnt5nseb6qJlWYpRdf4/s1600/cDSC_3284.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Full source list for the den can be found <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/01/january-in-our-den.html">here</a> and all den related posts can be found <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/search/label/study">here</a>.<br /><br />And then here is the powder room.

I showed a little peek of our new bed on <a href="http://instagram.com/dearlillie#">instagram</a> last night.

I still haven't found any mirrors although I have been searching! And I keep changing my mind on the wallpaper. I think I have decided this time but we'll see if I actually pull the trigger and get it ordered...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgifFADzqTBZn6xLPlu3lCvhem3N-6qRQpHZABKqG3cL3z-NFtDFAYB2hfD1eV_PYfP7_38NKRJuw8S2-NhAOhYCDV01fRIQ3fvGxd9bq4rxL3qEO2bJAGNU2zDCynz0YIEP9WjyQULQBk/s1600/xupstairsbathroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgifFADzqTBZn6xLPlu3lCvhem3N-6qRQpHZABKqG3cL3z-NFtDFAYB2hfD1eV_PYfP7_38NKRJuw8S2-NhAOhYCDV01fRIQ3fvGxd9bq4rxL3qEO2bJAGNU2zDCynz0YIEP9WjyQULQBk/s1600/xupstairsbathroom.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>More details and a source list for what we've done so far can be found <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/progress-in-our-upstairs-hall-bathroom.html">here</a>.<br /><br />And then here are the quick and inexpensive updates we did in laundry room until someday when we do a proper makeover in here.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjndDGD-O2fJnq9OGQfLq2pIGNE36fqmH1BGBJ44M11lqBMITKItKNQ74pEh5lQDSC7ehy2hU4LGoyAByHLYexvHas2G3Cju_2170pFmv5Acuwk5B1mX9JWdnsuf54vyhIUE5gF4Lqj-pg/s1600/xlaundryroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjndDGD-O2fJnq9OGQfLq2pIGNE36fqmH1BGBJ44M11lqBMITKItKNQ74pEh5lQDSC7ehy2hU4LGoyAByHLYexvHas2G3Cju_2170pFmv5Acuwk5B1mX9JWdnsuf54vyhIUE5gF4Lqj-pg/s1600/xlaundryroom.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>You can read a little about those updates <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/entryway-laundry-room-back-hall-and.html">here</a>.<br /><br />And then lastly here is a little bit of the playroom. We've been working on it like crazy the last few weeks from painting to cleaning and organizing and it's finally starting to come together. The wallpaper is actually going up today and then I plan on hanging curtains, recovering the ottoman and a few other little projects and then I will share a post with all the details. I have to say though, this room is not at all what I would have chosen to do in here. =) I pretty much let Lillie and Lola help with all the design decisions so we ended up with pink, pink and more pink. I thought we could mix in some other colors but they both think the more pink the better so it is pretty much as pink as a room can get.  This is just a quick cell phone shot on the right so it's pretty grainy but at least you can get a little idea of how it's coming together. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZBjvplBh57uCDxwfjOVylQ3E_195Af5tdzZknywgDPJk2Q-792VaoSSrE8hF5zUEaWUYVMIUWf6J3-NHN-Axu6UI1dRTTJp5aLS8uQj5mQM8BKne-1fMuq4BeVJPuR1g9LY8FH5H6zn0/s1600/xplayrom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZBjvplBh57uCDxwfjOVylQ3E_195Af5tdzZknywgDPJk2Q-792VaoSSrE8hF5zUEaWUYVMIUWf6J3-NHN-Axu6UI1dRTTJp5aLS8uQj5mQM8BKne-1fMuq4BeVJPuR1g9LY8FH5H6zn0/s1600/xplayrom.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />So, there's a little tour of the progress we've made so far! And hopefully I will have some posts soon with updates on our master bedroom, the playroom, our guest room/office, the guest bathroom and our porch.

The last few weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind and I have barely opened my computer between painting like crazy and lots of traveling. I did take quite a few photos though before we left last week so now that I finally took the time to sit down on my computer last night I was able to go through and start editing several posts worth of them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today I thought I would show you how the guest bedroom/office is back to a more neutral more year-round look after adding some <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-little-more-progress-in-guest-bedroom.html">bright pink in there earlier</a> this year in honor of Valentine's Day.  It's probably a little confusing to call this the office at this point seeing how I haven't gotten a desk yet and started setting up the "office" part of the room but I figured I would start referring to it as that to help differentiate it from the <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/our-gray-guest-bedroom-and-full-source.html">gray guest bedroom</a> now that that room has been updated. I am hoping to get started on the office part of this room in the next month or so the next time I share photos of this room it should actually be a combination office and guest room. Or at least that's the plan anyway! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I moved the pink pillows into Lillie and Lola's room for now but think they will eventually end up in the playroom once we finish painting in there. I am hoping to get the walls painted next week and then start playing around in there decorating and organizing. I added a few neutral accents that I already owned and that was about it for changes in here.
