Phew . . . I think that is it. There were some other really some things that I got done, but these were the things on my list. I am excited with how everything turned out. Wish I was this motivated to accomplish things when Matt was around. Oh and for the record, Matt noticed everything quite fast. Although I do have to say that he sat in the front room talking to me for almost 10 minutes before he realized it had been painted. Thanks again mom for coming to visit and for all of your help. I truly couldn't have done it without you....especially the chair, definitely a two-person job.

Wow! I am impressed! You amaze me!
That is awesome. That is a lot of projects. Mom is awesome to help out with stuff like that. I am surprised after helping me reapholter stuff that she did it again. :p
Everything looks SO nice. I must say...this upholstering job was much easier than Jill's. (although, it still wasn't easy)
It turned out pretty nice.
Oh...you had so many projects that you forgot one...The window treatment in the bathroom. Need to show that off too.
I still just love the lamp (so cute) and the color of the living room! (of course, blue is my fav!)
It was fun working together!
I definitely had my hesitation to doing another reupholstering job. It is not an easy task. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
"Oh...you had so many projects that you forgot one...The window treatment in the bathroom."
I thought I had put that in there. It was late. It has been added.
Good job Janae! I need to have you come over when Ben is gone sometime so that things will get accomplished here! You amaze me all the time! I like the blue on the walls in your front room--glad you decided to go ahead and do blue! The chair looks awesome! And I absolutely LOVE the bathroom window treatment! I've been wanting to re-do my bedroom curtains to look like those, but haven't gotten to it yet!
