Today is my wife's birthday and as such I thought I would describe improvements she has made to our house. The latest detail she has headed was painting the big rooms downstairs. I moved into the place and it had a fairly unremarkable paint of coat everywhere. Now the dining room is a bright warm yellow, with a set of shelves holding some flowers and other niceties. She also recently found an older style kitchen hutch to paint up and start holding and storing things in. Storage space has always been an issue, even though we have a nice food pantry. Amanda is also going to paint the dining table we have to match the hutch. I also should mention the four chairs she bought and painted to go with our new decor. She wasn't able to get quite the color she wanted, but they turned out pretty good after a coat of paint and will be even better once we get some pads to sit on while dining with them.
The living room has turned out just as great. She picked out a darker grey than what she wanted, but with an extra lamp the room turned out quite nice. The china cabinet was moved to the dining room while both bookcases are now in the office. We now have a rug downstairs also helps bring some good color to the room.
We were talking the other day and thinking about how rundown our home was when I first had my chance at it. Dingy old floor, dingy old wall, second or third hand furniture. Now everything is much nicer and presentable. Makes me really appreciate the woman I have and the job she is doing as a stay at home mom and wife. Everything about me is better because she is in my life.
