I've been extremely busy at work and extremely busy with moving, but here are some photos of my progress:
The living and kitchen areas are all I've worked on so far. This room used to look like this:
It's hard to see in these colors because I took them at night, but the wall color is a soft gray
My country kitchen.
I love this pot rack from IKEA
I love the country feel of my sink. It makes me happy when I'm doing my dishes.
I got my table at IKEA for $149 and am very impressed with the quality. I thought these would be rickety chairs but they are quite sturdy and the table is nice and solid as well. I hung my washboard and have a plate to hang on the other side.
This morning, I had a visitor at my backdoor. There is a family of cats living under my shed and every day it seems I see a new one. There are at least six!
So far, living in the country is just what I imagined it to be. Every morning, my neighbor's rooster wakes me up (at 5 am, no less). I hear horses neighing out the window, and goats are bleating in the background. Even though I have a long commute, coming home to my area instantly relaxes me.
Will you please come over to my home and decorate it for me? :) you have such a knack for making a place look homey. I am so happy you have been able to find a place you feel relaxed and at-home. My husband and I are also contemplating a move which would bring us a little further into the country, and I'm very excited about that idea.
