It's frigid out. Ice and snow blanket the ground surrounding us. And what do you find me doing indoors? Yep, cleaning and getting better organized. Cutting clutter with a vengeance, perpetually seeking storage and making order in the house. My hopes? That my husband will follow suit and make the same changes in our garage which doubles as his woodworking area. That my children will see order and come to love it for themselves. And I am happier with a revitalized abode! There is still much to be done but I persevere in finding pockets of time opportunities to continue making progress with my plans.
And then some..........in the foyer - some rearranging and painting.
A wall of our names in Chinese characters done by some Taiwanese students who lived with us for two weeks a couple of years ago.
And here are some views of entryway into our dining room.
These walls were built by my husband and he cut the two openings that house the statues, added trims, pillars and did all the electrical and plumbing work for our house while I design, decorate, choose wall colors, etc. Our house is an old colonial style built in the early 60s, very dated and very much a skeleton of a house when we purchased it. Our goal upon purchase was to transform the space into our own so we added warm colors, trims, changed out doors, gutted kitchen, bathrooms, etc. on very small budgets. It's always a work in progress here at our home so much so our friends know that they'll find something new/changed when they come by next. :-)
