Home Reno post #1

I have neglected putting up "Before" and "After" pics of our home. We bought our first home in May of this year, and have been working out butts off remodeling and re-doing. Our home was foreclosed and was previously rented before we moved in. With that being said, it had not been cared for at all. Right when we walked in the home, we instantly had a vision for what it could become. I am proud to say that we can see the light at the end of the tunnel! This, my friends, is our special treat. :)

Many rooms are beginning to be checked off the list of being done. I will focus on one room at a time...for now...here are the before and after's of our dining room. We painted the top half red and the bottom half white. In the future, we'd like to put window boxes on the white...but that'll come in time. We bought our table off craiglist (steel!). My Mom's good friend (she does all my Mom's curtain, reupholstering, etc. things) made the curtains and reupholstered the big dining chairs. I bought the fabric a while ago (around when we moved in)...it was on super sale and I fell in love with it.
