making ourselves to home

we prayed the Lord to help us not spend our wad on getting our office/guest room put together, and He completely answered our prayers. it needed to look lovely because it stares at us when we're in the living room. we spent a total of 25 clams on the artwork (vintage maps of england and france) and $10 on the curtains, and everything else we already had. it's amazing how you can scrounge up things when you really need to. we used wood dowels and j-hooks for curtains rods. and our parents' need to get rid of a desk and a chest of drawers perfectly coincided with out need to take them! then, a little rearranging of the furniture and a little recycling and we had ourselves a room.



the guest bath's coming along. need to do a bit of patching and painting. waiting for the man to do that. ;)

the vintage artwork continues in the dining room...for now, at least. those scrumptious yellow roses are from my madre's garden.

we got this desk chair for free at ikea!

looks dark here, but the sun's pouring in!
