New House Trinity

(At the insistent request of several of our out-of-town friends, I have finally managed to take pics of the new house, but I have to say it would look so much better if you guys would just come and visit us.)
We have finished painting a few of the rooms in the house. Here are some before and afters of what we have done. We are still missing window treatments, fans/lighting, and some artwork/pictures in most of the rooms, but we continue to look at it as a work in progress. Our bedroom is to be done somewhere in the distant future, and the family room is close to completion, if we'd just stop putting it off every weekend.
