For Laura, Before and After Take Two

Laura pointed out that my before and after pictures from design hop were spread a little too far apart, so here is a close version of the before and after. For me, the before and after is even more drastic...but I have no pictures. The first time I came to this house, I ate lunch on a flimsy card table in the kitchen with a window curtain doubling as a table cloth. That was literally it, besides a stack of foul smelling furniture stacked in the corner of the living room waiting to be thrown out.

When I moved in I brought these two student-style couches and the rocking chair. (I covered one couch in this orange cover to protect it from Max.)

JT and Ben removed the old stack of furniture from the living room when they helped move me in. (Thank you both so much!! AND thanks to Jason, Liza, Ben Allen, and Karen.)




Then Bret single handedly helped move this furniture in from St. Vincent de Paul. Little Max moved the couch cushions in like an ant moving a disproportionately large leaf. Watching him made me laugh.
