Liberace's Mother Lived Here. Part 2

9/1/2014

Picture
As threatened...a progress report on our mini-remodel that actually feels pretty major. That's our knocker. And we love our knockers around here.
Picture
That's our entryway gargoyle. Making everyone feel welcome. Or creeped out. Whatever.

Speaking of our entryway...
This is the family room/kitchen before. Dullsville. This is what it looked like when we first looked at the house. This is not our furniture. NOT.
That was then...this is now...
On to the Master. When I saw this photo online I thought it was a garage. Turns out it was more of a brothel type deal. We didn't do much to it. That's the kind of people we are.
Picture
As you'll see in the following photos we have a pillow situation. Hubby has two master's degrees but he is not qualified to arrange the pillows. It takes a pillow master. Which, I happen to be.
Next up - the stairwell. Who cares about the stairwell? Me.
Snoooooze....but not anymore!
The media room. It was, and is, tacky city. But, we've pretty much run out of steam to do anything to it other than put stuff in it that we don't have room for anywhere else. This is it before...you'll notice it doesn't look much different after. 

No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. That IS leopard print carpet. Meow....
Picture
You will notice that the original photo is of much better quality. Naturally.
The guest rooms. I only have before photos of one of them. This is why I would suck at food or style blogging. I never remember to take the pics. 
No, I don't know what that is growing on the walls. They might've filmed The Ring in here. This room was one well away from having a dead girl climb out of it. Or, it was some bio-terror experiment gone awry.
This last room has no before photos. It was just empty. Now it's not. 
This blog takes as long to read as the remodeling did. But, that's it. Almost.

Just the living room (still waiting on the furniture. Why does it take 10-12 weeks to get it? Does anyone know?) and the landscaping. 

Stay tuned.

Absolutely gorgeous, Kathleen! I love the girl corner! Love all of it. Truly going to be a masterpiece when you're done! As for why furniture delivery takes so long - I have no idea ... but I'm thinking it's so you can write Part 3 of this wonderful adventure once it finally arrives. :)

Thanks, Suzie. It's a great house. Or it's getting to be a great house!

Lookin' good! Is there an online registry for staying a week or four? (expand the bar...expand the bar...)

Expand the bar! Where are our priorities?! If you and Suzie are ever our way...the bar (however big it is) is always open.

Thank you, Rena. It's been fun! I'm getting over it now. I'm ready to not think about it so much.

Love the Cheetah chaise. I think all it needs is a few more pillows and it will be oh so comfy.

I forgot to take a picture of the pillow closet...we have one with a ton of pillows we aren't using. In case you want to trade some pillows for some marmalade...

I LOVE THIS HOUSE!!! That front entry is right out of my dreams! And I love me some gargoyles. Next time I'm up for some decorating advice, I'm calling you! :)

We love it too! I'm afraid I'd be too bossy to decorate for others. They'd have to take what I give em and like it!
