This weekend I was finally able to finish putting just a bit of order to my living room. It has been a thorn in my side since I moved into this house in August. If you remember, the problem was compounded by a heavy downpour one day, when we got 3.5 inches of rain. I had to move a bunch of boxes off of my screened porch in a hurry.
So, in order to earn more reading time, I really have been making an effort the past few weeks.
I'm going to do this backwards, with the "after" photos first. It's still not as nice as I would like, and I've done more polishing up since I took these, but certainly better than the "before" photos which will be last.
And now, the "before" horror photos:
(Please don't judge me. I haven't had any time at home since I've moved here.)
There. I have bared my soul and revealed the ugly truth. At least now I can walk through the room safely!

Wow. You've been busy! Good job!
Finally, indeed! ;)
That was a lot of work--way to go!
Hey, I think I remember my house looking very much like that when we moved. My craft room is trying very hard to look like that again!
I love your white chairs and cherry rug. What's that which looks like a giant maraca on the coffee table in the before pictures?
Ah, that is a birdhouse gourd. There's a hole up at the top of the neck to hang it from a tree branch, and a hole in the bowl for the little birdies to go inside.
Awww, how tweet! :)
Hi Trixie, I clicked on your comment from Pioneer Woman - I like people with fun names! Thanks for posting your before pictures of this darling room -- they make me feel normal again.
That is one fine looking rug. I just love Red!!

Welcome to The Nester and to SNEBrown! It's always nice to have new people come visit. Posting these photos took a shot of courage, I promise you.
LOL! I can so totally relate! I have a spare bedroom that collects all my catch-all stuff. You're inspiring me...
Is there any truth to the rumor that you have crazy TWISTER parties using your rug as the board? eeek
Hee hee! I'll never tell!
