doing a few updates to start the new year

Our breakfast nook has endured a lot of cooking, baking and wood fires. The time has come to unload and dig into downsizing some of the food stuffs, cook books, and containers. In that, I realized it would be nice to update the wall color, so tomorrow plan on getting started in a painting project. 

Here are a couple before/after photos of some shelves that needed scrubbing: 

We all decided to add a little more seating in our living room. We were able to purchase from our thrift store second chances along with a coffee table and a sweet little frame for Brad’s military photo and Osten’s Kindergarten photo
