We’ve been busy re-decorating our house and remodeling our bathroom for the last two months or so and we’re so close to finishing. Our dining room and bedroom are pretty much done at this point and our bathroom is making great headway. I can’t resist posting photos of our living room, though. It’s probably 94% done but it’s the room with the most dramatic change and we are SO proud of it.

![{We're really excited about the new leather chairs, the funky side tables, the new rug and the awesome new lamp. We're so pleased that we were able to pull it all together!}](http://keepingupwiththeallens.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/20151108_012001169_iOS-1024x768.jpg)
![{We've even updated the mantle a bit.}](http://keepingupwiththeallens.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/20151108_012123136_iOS-1024x768.jpg)
![{Here's a close up - the framed photos are of Deer Valley, Jackson Hole and the Matterhorn, three places we've been to and love.}](http://keepingupwiththeallens.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/20151108_012018993_iOS-1024x768.jpg)
Now we just need a fire in the fireplace and we’ll be set to enjoy our new room!
