Hi there, readers! It’s Rhoda again from Southern Hospitality —I last posted on the Holiday Tablescape Challenge!
I’ve just moved into a new home. It’s always exciting to move and this fixer upper is feeling more and more like home, sweet home every single day. It was a 6 month journey to get here and I was so happy to be in my house just in time for the holidays.
I thought it would be fun to share the before and after pics of a few of my rooms. Every room has seen quite the transformation and getting my own things in there has been so much fun.
Dining room Before. Not much to look at—it needed a lot of help.
The after is pretty amazing, don’t you think? Entertaining in my new dining room is going to be tops on my list. I can definitely see some cozy dinners in my future.
A few items from Wayfair have found their way on my table via the Wayfair Holiday Tabletop Challenge and it was fun to create a tablescape with these fun serving pieces.
You won’t believe the changes in the living room as well. Bye-bye ugly carpet.
Hello beautiful room. My living room has seen quite the transformation as well and I so enjoyed my new nest during the holidays.
And my office space got a major facelift as well. It’s hard to believe this is the same room.
But it is the same room!
Having an office space to spread out and be organized is so rewarding. I’ll be spending a lot of time in this room, so getting it in tip-top organizing mode is also on top of my list. It doesn’t hurt that it’s pretty to look at, too. I believe in surrounding myself with beauty, don’t you?
I’d love for you to stop by and take a peek at my new house in the making. It’s been over 6 months of hard work, but the rewards are worth it.
There is no place like home!

Awesome transformation.
My husband and I just purchased our first home, and it’s our retirement home.
We’ve always had a “parsonage” provided and we retire in a little over year and so we now have our own home! So excited! My first home, my dream home, anyway I hope it is.
Been looking at so many blogs trying to get ideas for our home, which is in Branson West, MO. You don’t by any chance give online or advise or decorating tips do you?
My main concern is the great room. With so many windows and fireplace,(which I love)I have no clue on what furniture to get. My husband and disable son are big guys so I need sturdy furniture and we have a beloved doggie that sheds. What to do?!
Sorry to unload on you, just got carried away.
Love reading your blog and congratulations on your beautiful home. Happy 2013! God bless!
HI, Judy, Congrats on your new home too! I was doing online consultations, but had to stop them for now with all the work I’ve been doing on my house. I’m sure you can get some local help where you live. Ask around and I imagine that someone knows a decorator who could give you some great advice seeing your space in person. Thanks for reading!
CONGRATULATIONS……….all the hard work shows in all the beauty…thank you for taking the time to share, I have definitely enjoyed your journey.
