a peak at our renovated first floor...a few before shots here. today we have been living here six months and i am so excited to finally start making it feel like a home. we don't have much furniture so it is going to take a while to fill up all this space. my goal is to only bring in pieces we love and try to keep things minimal and clutter free. one of the best new additions so far has been the record player my mom gave us for christmas along with a box of records from her amazing collection. we always had music playing in our house when i was growing up and i plan to continue that tradition with our family.

    I am completely amazed at the difference between the before and after of this room! Obviously much hard work has gone into this...your new home looks so lovely, and I imagine it feels all the more beautiful knowing that you had such a hand in making it that way.

    I love your home! The ceiling edging is just so pretty. I feel the same way about furniture and clutter. Mike and I really tried to get rid of all things that we didn't really love. I can't wait to see it!
