Blessings From Home

Getting caught up and some pictures

I've been diligently working on getting caught up on my housework. I blame Deanna (handsnhearts) for my motivation to get started.  I was able to take my kids to spend the day with their grandparents and get to work yesterday. I went through each room  and worked top to bottom. I finally got around to unpacking the rest of the girl's room and hanging pictures. I dusted, polished, scrubbed, and vacuumed every room, all but my bedroom and bath, my sewing room, and the kitchen. But I scrub the kitchen every day. I'm also trying to simplify, but the survivalist in me seems to not be able to let go of anything, especially clothes, but how many stuffed animals does one need to survive. lol. I definately got rid of a lot of toys and will be going in for more before we have a yard sale. So here's a few pictures. For some reason, they didn't turn out as good as I thought.

Here is a picture of my girl's room, their beds. I don't love the princess comforter, but I couldn't pass it up at a garage sale when she needed a comforter, we didn't have one. I'm in the process of gathering fabric to make her a quilt. The headboard and footboard and rails in the picture were free, we just painted them and they turned out great. We have another one very similar to it for my 2 year old, another freebie. Right now my 2 year old sleeps in the pack n play. The little valances on the windows are dish towels I bought at the dollar tree, not too bad. I also made a bedskirt  out of them for my daughter's toddler bed she used to sleep in.

And another view of their room...

And here's a picture of our family room. From this view you see our new couch and loveseat and secondhand recliner. The door to the right is in to the girls room and the other door is a coat closet.

This picture is in the family room still, taken from the girl's door. Past the banisters is our office/den.

And here is the office/den. This is also where we've been doing some our homeschooling. I'm looking for a medium sized table and chairs to set up in there so they can do most of their work there. Don't ya love the cast iron fireplace? That's one of my favorit things about this house.

Another view of the office/den. Our bookshelves, puzzles, activities, etc. We also just got a keyboard from my parent's house where we're all trying to learn how to play.

And the last picture I have for now is of my dining room. My wonderful hubby just bought me that beautiful new table when we moved in. I just love it!

Well, I hope you all enjoyed a peek into my house. Hopefully I'll be able to post some more pictures of the rest of the house as I get all done.

Blessings,

Sara

Your home is lovely! Everything is so neat and clean. I love your big dining room table and chairs. I have a fireplace that kind of reminds me of yours.

How Beautiful!

I love peeking into other's homes! Thanks!

It looks great! I love that you have a den that you can use for homeschooling. Our homeschool area is our kitchen, mainly. I so wish we had another room that we could use just for schooling. Our house seems so small at times!

Seeing all the hard work that you've done is inspiring me to go do some cleaning up too!

I can't wait to see more pictures from you!
