Noto Family Adoption: Mi Casa

Thanks to my wonderful mother I have made even more progress on my house. What was our "crap collection room" has now actually turned into an office. We spent a night organizing and I now have a place to pursue all of my crafty ambitions. I would love to put some paint on the walls, make the shelves more pretty, paint the trim around the bulletin board, take on more projects than I have time for...you know. But in the mean time, I'm excited that I have unpacked a room in record time (I unpacked my basement three months before I moved out of my last apartment). Everything in the room is something that I already owned.

Here's my one and only before picture:

And after:

Nothing matches perfectly, but I loved the curtains from my last living room and had to use them somewhere!

Do you see the gobs of organized fabric. It's been in boxes and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

It's so pretty.

I love the antique Ferris wheel. The hub-ubs tells me it's creepy.

I also put some other touches in my living room. Here are some before pictures:

I like that there are three different colored doors. Very zen.

Some progress:

Still rocking the multi-colored doors

And here are the after pictures:

Pictures hung in the hallway

Ahhhhh all white doors. Much better.

Candles up to warm up the room.

I stole this idea from my friend Megan. Herbs in apothecary jars. Love it.

A pillow I made for J. We have a running joke with his family where I buy his sister stupid squirrel stuff and she retaliates with dumb duck stuff. Only J likes the ducks. So I made him this pillow.
