Our Past Homes (Chapter 3)

This one isn't really in the past...it's right here, right now.

Bright Cavern

You may think it funny that we name our homes, but when I do this, I feel more attached to the beautiful place that houses my family.

I call this one Bright Cavern because it is our first basement apartment, and yet, it is still quite light.  I literally feel like I am living in a bright cavern.

Before we moved in, I snapped some photos of the house.

Before:

  

After #1 (Oct 09):

After #2 (May 10):
This was right after I refinished an old desk, hutch, and buffet.  (I also did a dresser for the boys but I don't have pictures yet.)

After #3 (Jul 10):
Many of the same pictures, but the decor has been changed a little.

 My goal...to make our home into a temple.  I think I'll always be working on increasing the spirit in our home, but I hope I'm a little closer to making our surroundings more temple-like.
