I posted pics back when it was new, not to hide the mess, but because the mess really hides the details I put into the room.
When we chose the room we thought, what room do we use the least?
The dining room!
We added on to or house 20 years ago, which made room for a pretty big table with 8 chairs, so any dining we do will be at that table.
We still use the bathrooms or I wouldn't doubt we'd use those rooms. Hey, come to think of it, there's one bathroom upstairs that since the kids moved out, doesn't get used. I bet the shower would hold a big stack of fabric!
