The Lettered Cottage is having a favorite room redo party.
I thought I would share my eat-in area.
It was a train wreck.
But then again, 3 kids in 5 years will do that to you.
For a long time it was survival mode everyday just trying to keep up the the tornado my children created. It wasn't until this last year I have been able to step back, take a look at my surrounds, and really start to put the effort and energy into them that I want to.
Tah dah! Just new paint,a painted table, beadboard wall paper,molding and a mirror, new space!
Next, I have to get those cabinets done....eventually....
And don't forget the 25th for the first new project of the new year party!
And Stop by Funky Junk Interiors for another great party!!
