#scenesaroundthehouse

Sometimes I just like to hashtag things.

Clearly we are not finished with this little project.  And clearly I need to document it on a better camera.  But, here's a bit of eye candy for your Friday.   Although this is more like a half-ass eaten piece of melted candy because of the poor photo quality.

Downstairs Hall Bath

Dining room/kitchen (my before pic is the wrong angle but you get the point)

Another dining/kitchen combo

Living room fireplace

New master bath (was an office before)

Teaser time

Well, Pinterest and Instagram have been consuming my world wide web time, and this little blog keeps taking a backseat.  Are blogs becoming extinct?  If not, I'll keep on truckin'. 

Things have been happening so fast around here that I can't keep up.  Not that I'm complaining or anything.  I'll think of a million things to blog about and then something else gets done and I forget about the other stuff.  Vicious cycle.  And then I get overwhelmed and have to sit down and have a drink.

We went on vacation last week to Kiawah Island in South Carolina.  PGA Championship, the beach, and cake for breakfast.  My kind of vacation.  While we were gone, we had the floors refinished downstairs.  Coming home on Saturday night was almost as exciting as Christmas morning.  We left the house in disarray and when we came home, it was crazy how different everything looked! 

Before and after pictures are at the top of my list of my favorite things.  LOVE THEM.  So, I'll give you a little sneak peak with a before and sorta-after shot.  We still have a lot of small touch ups and little stuff to take care of, but you can't really see any of that in the pic. 

BEFORE: 


SORTA AFTER:  

Damn, that looks good!
