Our guest room is completely painted and the furniture all in place I am just waiting on the new light fixture to arrive (it's supposed to be here today - yay!) and I need to add a few more accessories. Our master bedroom is midway through being painted right now so it's a total disaster. I finished up painting the trim yesterday but still need one more coat on the windows and then I will attack the doors (there are SIX doors - ugh!) and then walls.  I thought I would share some photos of what some of the other rooms look like now with all the Christmas decorations put away. It always feel a little bare in January but I don't mind it too much because it feels so much more clean and less cluttered after all the craziness of the holidays.  Anyway, I haven't finished going through the pictures I took of the kitchen, family room or other guest room yet but here is our den: </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/AVvXsEg4_rO28e1pTz9M0H80vA9262BbF1zHn29dW3EnNrZNJjGRCM4dJXUxVEdoiulrnrhHVkqMDqxZDTDk_1HO2CyYmYiQ5fapDOEUpzcIYDCKZ07P98J5ZDaoYIGd4HXssKoxQpxWdwpBu7A/s1600/cDSC_3283.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4_rO28e1pTz9M0H80vA9262BbF1zHn29dW3EnNrZNJjGRCM4dJXUxVEdoiulrnrhHVkqMDqxZDTDk_1HO2CyYmYiQ5fapDOEUpzcIYDCKZ07P98J5ZDaoYIGd4HXssKoxQpxWdwpBu7A/s1600/cDSC_3283.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;">Everything in here is pretty much the same. I just added a couple of Target pillows and pulled our Love is Patient Pillow Set back out. I added some dried hydrangeas from the fall to the chest behind the sofa and put our two amaryllis plants on the mantel. I generally use paperwhites and amaryllis for Christmas and then leave them out for another month or two afterwards to help brighten up the rather dreary months of January and February. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiep4G8fOjLQgg2jrmrncSfPDKqpMiFne1tuY35cveqXlkKeCAHw2qhyd-qY9wvLbluPauiBZ89b0yjjJi_kbqEaPsojWDoZXpQIb2yXOPEZkbLdcN3TEKexr6BX1PAHyOiMzgWro_uJOk/s1600/cDSC_3286.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiep4G8fOjLQgg2jrmrncSfPDKqpMiFne1tuY35cveqXlkKeCAHw2qhyd-qY9wvLbluPauiBZ89b0yjjJi_kbqEaPsojWDoZXpQIb2yXOPEZkbLdcN3TEKexr6BX1PAHyOiMzgWro_uJOk/s1600/cDSC_3286.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/AVvXsEg0m7AaM_DuYeDiMJFXTgUvCiUTkgzttR_ED_ty6HHgjuLObQlvoyT_XQqb_1_e9snpGfDn-76lL2b8WElXIO5AcmNigZHjHJSCxZ2hziVmP5uNA-1_DkdOF8liSW4OoJzHgLOpwomBQp0/s1600/cDSC_3258.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0m7AaM_DuYeDiMJFXTgUvCiUTkgzttR_ED_ty6HHgjuLObQlvoyT_XQqb_1_e9snpGfDn-76lL2b8WElXIO5AcmNigZHjHJSCxZ2hziVmP5uNA-1_DkdOF8liSW4OoJzHgLOpwomBQp0/s1600/cDSC_3258.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;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiZAXZRSL1jzvp-l2DJjWYWVjL3snAnYdO_n8PHo3hvlx1jDqpBqXKmguFRiAtsa9sAmM3dCvP6IXDTVJSEfHA0Jn2Wd2urzEYb3ZSo7G1hS-6k-FhYSy9hxah9WUjwT43DPc4Nrpbahs/s1600/cDSC_3244.jpg" width="436" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIkDS4nI10_SkQ0SSL-X_QrKEtCl51loxMLjBLhsxfncqtxVytnE255mSb9SX3kADcybYDnlaMahtZowZE6wh1SDj3Xk8UtcqRR1mbAaUtCv322L_nxoGvEc51vfJGtvYqCg_IEUHzTBA/s1600/cDSC_3253.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIkDS4nI10_SkQ0SSL-X_QrKEtCl51loxMLjBLhsxfncqtxVytnE255mSb9SX3kADcybYDnlaMahtZowZE6wh1SDj3Xk8UtcqRR1mbAaUtCv322L_nxoGvEc51vfJGtvYqCg_IEUHzTBA/s1600/cDSC_3253.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">One project that I still haven't gotten to is to either age or paint the pots.
