Changing and Rearranging

Lots goin' on over here at our lovely abode!  First off, I finally (after 3 months of living here) have gotten up most of our BEFORE pictures!  So click on the "Our Home" tab (see it?!)...

...and take a little tour of this lovely first home of ours! 

I showed you my super Craigslist score that inspired my Craft Room/Office the other day (click here for a refresher!).  In order to not use up one of the guest rooms and to make better use of our formal dining room (which we have eaten in ONCE since moving in), we planned an ol' switcheroo from formal dining to crafty goodness!  This means my PROGRESS shot went from this:

 to this:

I must have hit the decorating "Backspace" button?  Never fear!  My precious desk is in the garage, patiently awaiting it's transformation.  Until then, I'm l.o.v.i.n.g how the Great Room is looking with a now filled in eat-in kitchen (although I can't wait to get a table like this for my space, for now, this'ill do):

Notice my current centerpiece--I love not having to take up counter space for my baked goodies!

Yep, that's a half-eaten cookie, courtesy of the mister!  Anyhoo, I'm pretty stinkin' excited that we'll once again be using our dining room table instead of staring at it with starry eyes and wishing it were just a little closer to the television.  Not to mention, I'm ready to move that desk right on in! 

May your holiday weekend be filled with hot dogs, grilled corn on the cob, and an adult beverage...or two!  Happy 4th y'all!
