And a full on view of the kitchen. Just need to get that backsplash done and those darn toe kicks installed this weekend. We also need to install a hood but that is a major project for another time. Unless Santa decides to leave me a nice chunk of $$$ some things just have to wait.
and the truth is that is why most blogs look better with really close up pictures! 🙂 whenever i take photos of the whole house, i have what i call the traveling mess. it’s the pile of stuff i move out of on photo and then keep moving so it is never in a photo!
While my decorations are all up, only the tree remains, I am refinishing a table in the middle of my family room. So I turn on the Christmas lights and work away and I am enjoying the decoration while I work.
Keep up the good work your house is really looking good.

My craft room is always a totally insane mess no matter how much I clean it.
I have a teeny, 1 by 1 foot area where the counter is white, the wall is white and it’s right next to the window. That’s where I take photos of everything! Because the rest of the place is chaos!
Good luck! I’m waiting until the new year to start any more major projects. I just don’t have time right now to do anything! Your kitchen is looking great though
🙂 Yep, it is real life, isn’t it? Thanks for sharing your real life holiday look! 😉
I can’t wait to see the finished result of the painting and projects!

Love this post, I can totally relate! We got the keys for our house on the 18th November and it was un-livable in, think mould on the walls etc, and had a crazy month of DIY and builders and moved in on the 14th December! My Christmas decor was also improved by the addition of various power tools, boxes etc!
