Keeping it real

I would like to keep it real.
If you are like me, you like pinterest and blogs and think other people are so creative and have such amazing houses.
Well most of the time these people stage before photos. Their homes don't look like that all the time, especially if they have kids.

Take our bedroom view for example. It looks like we live in the country with luscious trees. What a beautiful view to wake up too!
Well The above picture was taken from the right angle because this is actually our view. Not to say its bad but its like everyone else. We can see a few backyards.


These two pictures are of Masons room. It has been moved around a bit. But can you see the difference between staging and everyday life?


Our Living room / Dining room is this way about 85% of the time. Toys everywhere, things in piles to be taken downstairs, laundry being folded... you know the list of things that compile.

This was when I cleaned and 'staged' it one time for a photo. It might look like this for a day when I clean it and then it is dirty again...



































There you have it. The tricks of cleaning and photography. Don't get so down on yourself for having a mess of a home. We all have a mess, more so if you have kids of any age.

I have a few more garbage finds coming up, check back!
