Yep!! There is it! The horrible “before” photo. Keep scrolling though, because I’m pretty proud of what we’ve done with this space! Our dining room table just arrived a few days ago, (all 84 inches of it!!) making this room finally complete! (Except for the fact that we need to order a few more chairs!) Also, never mind the dead flowers, I just can’t bring myself to throw them out!

Now, if only we had friends to share food and conversation with around this perfect table. **Hint, hint, friends!** Come visit us!! We’ve got big deer, dirt roads and the beautiful Mississippi River. You know it’s a tempting invite. 😉 

But in all seriousness, we are just so thankful for this transformation. And for our family for putting so much time and effort into helping us make this Missouri house, our home!

Also — I will continue putting together blog posts of the rest of the house, as each room becomes complete! Stay tuned for more updates of our 80 year old, Missouri home!
