    was the wainscoting on the bottom the dark wood? looks bright and cheery!

    where did you get insulating curtains?
    11% gross to retirement
    10% takehome to tithe and offerings
    emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
    credit card debt 7500
    mortgage free
    freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
    then live on the rest!

    i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

    Yes - the wainscoting was a dark walnut color - I love it. I got the curtains at Homesense, which is a home boutique with reduced prices. I'm seeing a big difference in the warmth of the house.

    Trisha, the stove is electric and really makes the room toasty.

    What a great room you've created for your family!! Love the heater - glad you treated yourself to something so classy!! Mahalo for sharing - I'm sure it will help inspire some of us - need to get going again on our home!! Bet the girls love it!!

    Looks great, Daisygirl! I would so love to cover the dark woodwork in my house with fresh white paint....hubby is very resistant to that idea, doesn't understand why I'd want to cover that "beautiful woodwork"....hmmmm, how about because the room would look brighter and feel like there's more light? Your new family room looks so inviting!
