dining room / living room updates

Just a quick post with mostly pictures to show the "updates" we've done in our living room and dining room since we moved here.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

 [not much different; we painted, hung shelves on the walls, etc. We also keep the table off to the side unless we have company over... this gives us more room in our not-so-big dining room!]

 [my pretty shamrock plant from my father in law]

 [the living room has been painted, we hung pictures, accumulated more kid's toys, and got "new" furniture (thank you Craig's List).]

 

Between these two rooms, Ryan's room, and the bathroom... I'd say we've done enough for the year we've (almost) lived here!
