Family Room Project

Will went to Scout camp about a month and a half ago.  6 days, and 5 nights without him, was a very long week.  However, I thought I'd stay busy, and redo my kitchen and family room.  I thought to myself, I can easily finish this project while he's gone.  Well, it only took me 6 weeks!  Anyway, here are the before & after pics!

1. Never paint when you are pregnant, you'll just end up redoing it later!

2. Take on smaller projects when husband is at scout camp!
