And the walls came down......

Hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas....I enjoyed mine immensely!!! I spent lots of time with family and some scrumptious food.

My Christmas gift from my husband was to tear a partial wall down that stood between our kitchen and dinning room.....this wall has been an issue with me ever since we moved into this house 8 years ago. We live in an old farm house and the rooms where very small and boxy and that just doesn't work for us. Whenever we would entertain, I always felt out of it or we where trying to cram 6 people into a kitchen that really only has room for 1 or 2. Because it is a load bearing wall, it was a project he was dreading. He had vacation days to use, so we thought it would be a perfect time to tackle this job.

Before....

I love him so much!!!! :)

There's still painting to do, sealing the top and getting several outlet covers, some bar stools are needed, but I LOVE IT!!!!!

So I know that I said I would be back to post "this week end", well that didn't happen, obviously. I am trying to enjoy this wonderful time of the year, but it is going by WAY TOOOOOO Fast!!

Today was a snow day here. The fireplace is on, the candles are lite and the coffee is oh so good with alittle bit of eggnog creamer and my kids are home from school, I am enjoying my day!!!!

I thought that I would post several decor pictures from around the house.
