“Before” House Pictures

C.Style Blog

This Christmas break has ended up being a little crazy for the Lee family. It’s all self induced chaos (well, most of it), but it has left me very behind and a little (ok, a lot) overwhelmed.

Our house was in need of some fresh paint both inside and out, and the painter said he could paint the entire inside in two weeks during the Christmas break. My husband and I had a little chat one night and decided to go for it! Why not? We could make it a fun adventure for the kids. It’s all about perspective, right? So off went making preparations to move into a hotel.

But not so fast… My husband, who has been in excruciating pain from a herniated disk, was able to have surgery on his neck today, which left me even more overwhelmed. So here I sit in the hospital room, feeling like the roller coaster has ended and so thankful to God for a surgery that went well, great doctors and supportive family and friends! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted, and I can get back to what I love, C. Style!

The day we started to pack, I decided to take “before” pictures of the house. A few of you have asked me to share pictures of my house, so I thought this was a great opportunity.  Keep in mind, these are not professional photos. They are pictures from my iPhone, and I was just taking them for myself to remember how the house looked “before”. Everything is not placed perfectly. I love my comfy, cozy, casual home, and I’m really looking forward to the changes we are making and sharing the final result with you guys!

      It’s from one of the vendors at Old Henry Farms at the Round Top Antique Fair. I hope this helps.

      Allison, This paint color was chosen by the previous owners. I’m sorry to say that I don’t know the color.
