    Did you notice that we have that exact wine glass decoration on our wall in our other house? LOL We do have similar taste!

    Your room turned out very nice. Perhaps I should take some before and after photos when I move in March 🙂 Thank you for the idea!

    You are industrious in your makeover Terri and that is a perfect quote to go with this post.

    Is that a games console connected to the TV, Terri? Please tell me that you enjoy playing video games.
    Striking room. I love the neutral walls. They make everything in the room stand out nicely. Great job done.

      Thank you, Hugh! We chose the pale gray paint throughout the house. You’re right that I makes everything pop.
      No that is a Dish TV receiver with an old (new)- school DVD player. Hans is dying for one though. I play enough on my mobiles. Do you play games on a game console?

        I used too, but it got me into a lot of trouble, so I ended up selling it, Terri.

      Thank you, Donna! It is so nice to get the interior tweeks done since we spend a lot of time indoors this time of year.

    I hope the camera angle made the TV have a bit of a lean otherwise I would not be able to sit and watch TV. My OCD would have a field day 😂

      Sharp eyes, there, Brian. It DID have a lean and my OCD begged Hans to fix it, which he did, thank goodness!

    I love the quote too because I believe the same is true with what we wear and how we look.

    I should have a picture with the hammer or a sander in my hand! I’ve spent so much time doing DYI over the last 15 years! Nicely developed space. Bernie

    I see the biggest difference–the dog in his/her bed! Mine is about a yard from me.

      Yeah, my little Aero was famous for photo bombing a lot of my pics. I sure miss him, Jacqui!
