we have decided to do one room at a time and completely finish it before moving on to the next. Before starting this I was trying to do alittle in each room and balance it out, but I was feeling like nothing was ever going to be finished. I think this way will give the satisfation of a finished product. It's a long process to get a home the way you want it and when money is an issue, it is even worse. Every two weeks I bought something for the house. It might have only been one thing I liked for the dollar store but it was something. With our income taxes we bought a new desk, a computer chair, a sheet set, a bookshelf and decor for the kids rooms. My bedroom, the living room and both daughter's rooms are very close to being finished. My mom helped with my oldest daughter's room and the kids bathroom. They were so excited to have a "kids only" bathroom that they asked to decorate it as christmas presents. My mom got each kid something for the bathroom. It is now in fish, frogs, and ducks. My daughter's bedroom has a beautiful white almost victorian looking head and foot board, desk, dresser, and nightstand. This came from my youngest sister who decided she wanted a change and it looks brand new. I am stilll looking for two nightstands and a chair for my bedroom.A new entertainment center(with closing doors), a new couch and end tables (which are already picked out) will finish the living room. I am sure they will love when they get to decorating and finding a compromise on where their styles will differ. I know it can be a chore, but I love finding "the right piece" that my husband and I both love. They are a very cute couple. She looks so friendly. Congrats to you and them!
