This post has been waiting in the wings for a while, and I’m finally dusting it off to share a final before & after of some of my favorite rooms in our MN house.  I’m in the process of updating the MN Home Tour page, so it reflects the changes we’ve made since 2020 prior to selling the house this spring.  If you want to check out the rooms furnished and the complete transformations, you can find them HERE or search for a specific room in the blog NAV bar under All Things Home.  But, I thought it would be fun to show the rooms how they looked when we moved in and then again when we moved out.  This way, you get to see how the bones of rooms changed.  Decorating really does make the room come alive, but setting the stage for your decor is a huge step
