Two years of blogging, and can you believe it- all of 5 posts! TOTAL! I know, I know. I can barely handle it.
I know my posting has been sporadic at times, and I certainly have many updates I need to make, still... BUT I wanted to look back at the original and remind myself of how far it's come. It's hard not to beat yourself up for not doing something every weekend or still having unfinished edges to a room. I also have the silly dream that there are new readers that may not know how much of a dump I got myself into... so there's a little bit of bragging angled towards them. Nannie-Nannie Boo-Boo!
Most of the before pictures were from the virtual tour the listing agent posted, as I forget my camera on move-in weekend. Which was also demolition weekend. I'll try to capture with my eloquent words how these rooms were when I was handed over the keys...

Long-overdue update #2. These bookcases aren't even IN there anymore! I mean, honestly. This room has our DVD collection, our entertainment center, and a fabulous futon.

haHA! This is what the room still looks like! Take THAT, neglectfulness! I hope to get curtains, a new pendant light, and paint the dressers....

More to come on this one.... (yes, that makes #3 out-of-date.)

And THIS one is spot-on! Maybe a little shelf rearranging, but that is it! Totally kicking butt.

Really really out-of-date, (#7,) but at least you see the wall paint and the rug? That amounts to something, right? RIGHT?!?!

many of these should be "CURRENTLY" instead of AFTER...
