We are starting the process of making some improvements in the condo. We decided to start with new windows throughout the house and build in an entertainment center/storage in the living room. For anyone who has visited our home you may remember the monstrosity of an entertainment center/random cabinet system we had before. Well, after this morning I am proud to say it's GONE!!!!!! So is the gas fireplace we had but never used. I didn't know our living room could look and feel so big. Our next step is having the windows replaced and around the same time we will be putting in the custom cabinets and media center, bench seats with storage along the lower portion of the windows, and a corner unit where the fireplace was that will be our office in condensed form.
I learned three things while getting ready for the cabinet demo:
1.) We have A LOT of stuff and junk.
2.) A good portion of the stuff and junk is the kids'
3.) I am not very good at dusting.
The before and after pictures can justify numbers 1 and 2, but not #3 thankfully :)
And the old cabinets were put to good use in the accounting office at St. Patrick's Church.

Renovating, how fun (and how annoying)! I'm constantly amazed at how much stuff we acquire. Our old stuff is in storage, and we arrived in Israel with six suitcases. It's going to take a shipping container to get our new stuff back to the US - and we won't even be bringing most of the new (cheap, Ikea) furniture back!
I'm not very good at dusting either.
