Home Improvement Blog!

So everyone is posting all of the great changes they are making to their homes. I feel like I'm out of the loop! I wish I thought of blogging about the little changes we've made, so we would have some comparison photos and things. I found a couple pictures from when we bought to the house and then some good "now" pictures. What do you think?

Here's a cute runner I made for the "telephone table" in the corner. The fabric was on super sale at Joann's Fabric, so I was able to make 2 pillows, cover the circular ottoman, and this runner. Now everything matches, which is nice. I also got a light aqua blue faux suede fabric for the other pillows. The best thing about those is the fact that they are Scotchgarded, so I don't mind if company uses them as plate holders for their laps.

I will continue to take some pictures of our new windows and downstairs pantry closet, which is awesome now. I just have to clean the house first, so the rooms are presentable :).

I'm not sure replacing a pool table with a dining table is really an improvement.

I actually didn't want to get rid of the pool table--just move it to another room, but we didn't have another room that would fit it. I can say, though, that this dining room table gets used ten times more than the pool table did.
