A slightly different before and after...

I snapped this picture a couple of nights after moving into my first house - around 11 months ago now.

We'd moved from a rented, furnished apartment and so had very little in the way of furniture; I was completely overwhelmed and had no idea how on earth I'd manage to turn this house into our home.

The picture in the comments was taken today. For those who replied to my comment on the check-in the other day, you can see some of my house plants too!
