Freakin' Finally... well, Almost!!!

So, the house is nearly clean. I'm skipping Before pix cuz I really don't see the point other than to show you how much more space we had before our stuff got here. Why dwell on the past, huh? The only things you won't see here are 1) my desk, 2) the kids' room/family bathroom and 3) coat room/pantry... Because they are not yet clean.

Without further ado:
