The kitchen's not so big makeover

In the kitchen we didn't have to make big changes. Just by adding some plants and accents after a deep cleaning we were done. We really liked the dark orange color on the walls so we kept it.



The kitchen (before).



For us, some things are essential in the kitchen; towels, a rug in front of the sink and our teapot (especially for cinnamon tea). By the way, the words on the stove spell EAT not FAT.

Home office/Guest room

For this room we needed to save space, so by combining the office and guest room into one we made this working space that doubles as a guestroom for all our dear visitors.

When we came to see the house, the previous owner had these shelves (on the left wall) which we found very useful, specially for Ramon's collection of movie characters.

Before. Office

This is what we have done so far. We really hope that eventually we could accomplish a cozy and comfortable room for our guests.

Like father like daughter

We're very impressed with how our daughter holds the big heavy Nikon and takes a picture almost perfectly framed. Ramon and I love photography and it seems that our little one is loving it too. Looks like when you like something there's a big chance your kids will like it too. 

 

Children learn a lot of things through imitating their parents, we really love if she could have skills like these, embrace them and appreciate art as we do. Of course, she will always have the freedom to choose whatever she wants the most.

The importance of artwork

For showing you about the importance of artwork we chose these pictures of our bedroom, before and after hanging art. Is probably not the best example but we went for it anyway, since is the first significant art we hang in our new house we are very excited to show you the difference.

It's missing something.

We have always loved our bedroom. These three pieces were in the living room of the apartment. In this bedroom the wall behind the bed is much bigger so we had cover a little more of the it.



The frames and the art were very affordable.



Selling your things on the internet

If you need to get something sold there are many options in the internet, and the great thing is that some of them are free.
This is the ottoman that didn't work in our living room so we made an ad and posted it in Craigslist:

TIP: Whatever is the product you're selling, take a nice picture of it, remove clutter from the room so people can see what you're selling. If its torn or stained be honest and show a detail picture of where is damaged, some people tolerate buying things that are a little broken.

Now, you don't have to make a proffessional ad or take a great photograph. Simply by taking a good picture of the product you're selling you will be able to highlight a little more its quality.
