We've been living in our home for over two years now, we had our offer accepted when Molly was just two weeks old and moved in May 2011. I always planned to do before and after posts on my blog but never got around to it. Over the two years we've rearranged everything a lot but I've never been happy enough to do the 'after' photographs.
We decorated the living room the day we moved in. I still love the colours, green and slate grey, though I do wish I'd painted the fireplace white rather than the off-white which looks almost lilac against the grey. We still haven't put up any pictures despite my new years resolution, all we have is the canvas my sister in law had made of our hands for Christmas, so we really need to get some framed.
We recently moved the televsion from the corner near the window to the wall opposite the sofa. This has made SUCH a difference. The room feels huge now! Molly now has her own play corner, which she thanked us all for when it was done, bless her. We're planning on getting her a play kitchen for Christmas (shh don't tell her!) to go in it. I'm so excited to see her little face! We're thinking that an arm chair might go nicely in front of the clock bookshelf which will cosy up the room a little more and create more of a divide between the play area and the seating space. I'd still love a rug, but I'm terrified the dog will 'mark it' so I'm holding out on that just yet.
