Have you seen my downstairs yet?

I don't think you've seen my downstairs via the blog yet...I don't have pictures taken of my family room-although it's lovely!- but here are some of Katelyn's room. I really wanted to do yellow and white in her room in Houston, but never got around to it. I wasn't going to wait in this home! My angel mother painted this whole room while I was home sick, and I love it! My spring project is going to be to make her a fuzzy, cute quilt, but in the meantime, I finally got to pull one of the hundreds I made in high school out! And check out the new carpet! Thanks to a huge blessing, we were able to get new(ish) carpet in the kids' bedrooms. I can't even tell you how much a relief and blessing this is. I have done gross things in my life, but pulling up the carpet from these rooms ranks in the top ten. I shudder to think that my kids had to sleep in rooms that were that nasty for two months. And I shudder to think what the other carpets in my home are like--the ones we haven't been able to replace yet! But I'm SO grateful that these two are clean and wonderful!
Anyway...






And, here is Josh's room with new carpet and a new dresser...the old one didn't survive so well...check out what happened to it when I tried to move it from his room to the hall for the carpet removal...oops! :)



Hope you all enjoyed the holidays! Welcome back to real life...!
