Un-Extreme Makover - Home Edition

My wonderfully empty and clean fridge!!!!!!!
Again, sigh of relief and joy!
The butcher block... coolest piece of furniture in the house and Gaucho's shelter from monsters.
Keep Calm pic... Do you like Antlers standing or down? or not at all? See pictures below...
4th bedroom guest room
And Fly-Tying Room ...
Ski Bridger Bowl picture .... Can't wait for Bridger to open!!!!
New sitting arrangment - notice the buther block is in the lower area, no longer in the galley of the kitchen... Leaving more room for Top Chef cooking preparation and less clutter in an already crowded space ...
My everyday motto and inspiration as I walk out the door - This is the Antlers standing up....

New Dishes - aren't they beautiful!

It has been a while since I have sent updated pics of the house. When Peter was gone that first week of camp, I got really motivated, stayed in my pj's for 2 days straight, didn't take calls (shocking), hardly ate (more shocking), and tore through my house like a crossbreed of Martha Stewart and the Tasmanian Devil.
The result = organization, declutter, a funtioning 4th bedroom that you can sleep in, and 1.5 years of "we just moved in" piles neatly in their place.
I removed, soaked and cleaned the knobs on my kitchen cabinets folks... My refrigerator is the cleanest and most organized it has ever been ... No science experiments and we have only 1 ketchup container instead of 12 1/2 empties! This place feels great! Even Peter noticed all the changes, which as many of you know it takes a lot for the "men folk" to notice a thoughtfully rearranged house.
So, for those of you who have seen the house, I once again re-arranged the sitting area off the kitchen, have new dishes (thanks to our nice friends for our wedding), and got the downstairs bedroom with no windows up to par.
I have one dilema... My favorite piece of "art" in the house - Keep Calm and Carry On (a present from Clark) - has some Elk Antlers next to them... Do you like the antlers standing up or on their side????

I kind of like them on their side, but that's because my mind doesn't work in lines...
Such a cute house! Our kitchen colors are almost the same color!

I like the antlers standing up - hadn't thought of ever placing them that way - good job. I am a little dissapointed, however that you didn't call me to help consolidate the 12 1/2 ketchup bottles into one, neat, clean around the rim container . . . you know I LOVE that sort of compulsive activity.
