As promised, updated pics

Now or never...

Have so much to add to this post but for now I'm just going to post the pictures. Eventually, I'll add "the rest of the story". So in the same order from my September 2011 blog post are April 2014 updates in pictures (tried to post the before pic under as best I could for easy comparison but used phone screen shots so not very clear - will try to correct later)

Disclaimer: part 1:  our house has seen cleaner days and these photos were taken with my phone, at night, so not the best quality.  

Part 2:  we are still in the decorating process, please do not judge my bare walls. Thank you.  Full list of "have done" and "to do" coming.
