The Sitting Room

This is the little sitting room off our kitchen. The room was originally the dining area, but since we have a large dining room right off the kitchen I did not see the need for two eating areas. The first two pictures are the room before. these shots show both sides of the room, although I am only going to show you one side, as the other side is my husbands office area, and its really not much to look at.

The Vestibule

So this is my Vestibule, yes vestibule, not really sure if its a legitimate vestibule, but don't you just love saying that word? Come on now, say it a couple times and you too will want your own vestibule. So this tiny entry way into our home was untouched for a very long time. Covered with layers of flat brown paint, with no personality, it was begging for a face lift. So I added to those layers of paint by adding my own few layers of bright white paint. The door has been replace with a more efficient but still nice looking one. I added plantation blinds to the windows for a little privacy when we want to leave the door open, but also to give the big blank windows some architectural design. And finally, the decoration...

Bedroom Sitting Area

Hi all, so I finally purchased a new camera and can continue to show you the progress on the house.
This next room I am showing you is the little sitting area right outside my bedroom. I originally planned on removing the daybed and making the whole area a makeup table, BUT when I went to take out the daybed I found that there was no finished flooring underneath. So, I worked with it, and I can honestly say I am glad I kept it, its just this cute little cozy area, and I still was able to work in the makeup table, that yes, I actually do use on a daily basis (well, sometimes I don't wear makeup, but don't tell anyone).

Docks

The docks are in, the docks are in!!!! So this past winter we decided to purchase some new docks, the cool kind, you know those ones that you NEVER have to take out of the water, and trust me, if you ever had to do that you'd know what a treat these are. So the marina was not able to deliver them today, so my husband and our neighbor decided to go pick them up themselves.
So here they are towing the docks from the marina.....


He looks comfy hu?
Finally at the house....
