SuburbanSpunkDesign.com : Updated Home Tour
A few months ago, I added a 'Home Tour' tab to my blog but failed to mention it here:(
I turn to blogs for decor inspiration and adore looking at others' home tours, so I thought it was time to update mine and introduce it to my readers.
SuburbanSpunkDesign.com : Updated Home Tour

Our house is still very much a work in progress, and we still have countless projects to begin. However, it is important that I reflect back on all of the projects we have already completed, especially at times when I feel less motivated or creative. So, I decided to post before and current pictures of my house and add these photos to my Home Tour tab, which I am vowing to keep updated as we tackle more projects. I say before and current pics, before I don't feel that any room is 100% finished (I probably won't ever feel that way).
I have been struggling recently with the motivation to tackle more projects, so in full disclosure, this post is as much for myself, as it is for my readers. Here are before and after pics that I'll be adding to my home tour tab this week.
Check out the Home Tour tab anytime and come on in!

Although I long for fancier counter tops and cabinets that extend to the ceiling, those updates aren't justifiable right now. I need to add a new rug and a new window treatment of sort, and then I will consider this room mostly done.

Nothing new planned for now!

That's where we are now. We're in the middle of decorating Justin's 'music room', and we have a few projects for two of our bathrooms that should be complete in the next few weeks. As always, things are always changing around here. We would be bored if they weren't;)
How are things going at your house? Do you still have as many projects left on on your to-do list as we do?
Hope everyone is having a lovely week!
