LOVE KNOWS NO DISTANCE: Homestead (Belated) Update

Better late than never...I looked back at my previous posts and at the beginning of each one, I apologized for my lack of posts. This year, I won't be doing that. Not because I don't feel bad about my lapses between posts, but have come to the realization that LIFE IS BUSY. However, I do have a goal to post more often, whatever that might be. This is an update of the homestead projects that should have been posted about a month ago...The exciting part about that is I am hoping to post another (up-to-date) update in the next few weeks as I finish another few projects I have been working on. I just may be able to post a final BEFORE and AFTER of the homestead project in 2015 (fingers crossed). I am finally feeling like we are "settling" into our new home.
We also finalized selling our Farmwood House in 2014. A major blessing having sold it so fast...
We are excited to start 2015 off, officially, debt free :)

Projects seen in this post:
Decorated the house for Christmas
Finished painting the Bottom Cupboards in the Kitchen
Added storage in the Hall/Laundry
Finished Downstairs Bath
Fixed Upstairs Claw foot tub Faucet
Josie's Room***

**I am still struggling with Josie's room. It is a very small space. It is as organized as it could be, but still looks cluttered. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated!

Projects changed/in progress for next post:
Kitchen Bottom Doors Painted and installed (completing the kitchen project!)
Upstairs Bath + Bonus Andrew Project
Wood Shed (outdoor)
Re-Arranging the Living Room/Dining

Here are some update pictures of the homestead....
