ideas vs progress

apparently i like to post my ideas and then not ever 'finish' the room and post some after pictures.  but i have done a few things around the house... and have a couple of iphone pictures (go me).

so in the eat-in kitchen, we hung some curtains.  (i know you really appreciate the staging done for this picture...)

and then got new chairs (went with the ikea lucite chairs).  now i really really need to refinish the table.  b/c the new chairs totally accentuate how ugly the table is :)

vera and i created a succulent garden - or a fairy garden..  i should get a picture of the whole bay window in the family room.  we've got all kinds of plants going on.  (and they are still alive!!)

in the playroom, we are close to done.  painted the walls white (alabaster white by sherwin williams).  got a rug.  teepee provided by grandparents.  hung up lots of art created by the kids.  have tons of toys... still need to get a picture of the room since we hung up curtains.  and we bought a flush mount ceiling light, but need to install it still.  we'll get there.

so there's a quick little update of progress being made.  i'll probably have a few more "ideas" posts in the next few days.
