Dear Kathy

 Dear Kathy (and anyone else out there who might be interested) , Do you remember when I use to take pictures of my house and send them to you in the mail so you could see my decorating talent?!  It was almost like having you there ooohing and aahhing over every little thing.  Well this is the updated version of pictures in the mail :)  So here goes, get ready to oooh and aahh-  Above is the living room mantle with the Ikea mirror (and Rachel's purse), you'll see the mirror you gave me later and tell me which one you like better.

 Here is my Grandma's buffet, as you can tell it still needs work, I can't decided what color to paint it-ivory, black or some form of robin's egg blue.

 This is opposite the buffet, this little chest of drawers use to be country blue.  I painted it Wythe Blue and put new drawer pulls.  That is the door to the kitchen on the right.

 On the other side of the door to the kitchen, my Mom and Dad's silhouettes and family tree chart.

 Dining room, window looks out to the back patio.  We will eventually put french doors there in place of the window.

 Here is your mirror-what do you think?  Oh and there is the slate tile we found for free and are thinking of putting there on the hearth.

 Entertainment center with my camera collection.

 Front door-I want to paint it black.

 Living room with the big ugly green chair.

Front entry way.  Well that is a little tour, I will save the kitchen and hallway for later.  There are so many things we want to do still.  Overall it is a great improvement over what we started with.  It's amazing what new paint and a little decorating can do.
