office "face lift"...done!

in december we gave our OFFICE a much
needed "face lift".
we did it in record time...it was crazy!! (2 weeks)
i think it turned out really nice and it
was less expensive than doing
a complete remodel.

we bought new furniture.


hung a new pic. of the kids.


new carpet and wall paper.


i love the bench.





we added laminate wood flooring.

what do you think?
HUGE improvement,...right??

in separate in bowl combine
flour, baking soda.
