Description
Renoveren - MOC Nine - Jan 13 - In A Mirror

We live in a construction zone. I am sometimes ashamed of it. So when I saw the challenge, I started panicking. We don't have many mirrors in our house. And none that I can take outside. So I felt bad about not being able to take beautiful photos like the ones in the example.
So instead of being ashamed of my home and panicking about the challenge, I embraced it and shot a photo of our unfinished dining room. The walls and the ceiling need to be finished, there are a lot of tools in the room, we need to get new doors... etc...
My journal is about renovating our home. My boyfriends' dad is coming over to help us. He is mostly renovating our home, since that was his job before he retired.

This is a perfect way to capture the "during" phase of construction. I love the progress pictures of a project almost as much and the "after" picture. This is a great way to use a mirror too. I'm still trying to decide what I'm going to do.

@LynnZant Thank you so much for your kind words, my friend! So happy to see you here. Are you participating in MOC? Or are you planning to?

@cfile Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, Christa! I really appreciate it. I love taking photos in black and white because I agree with you... it adds so much to a photo.
About the renovations... it's my boyfriends' dad who is doing the renovations. It takes a lot of time since comes here one time in three weeks or so. So it's going slowly. And it's sometimes a bit frustrating. But it is what it is and we deal with it.

@Karen Thank you so much for your kind words, Karen! I look forward to seeing what you've come up with. I know it will be perfect! I love your pages!

No one even notices the mess, they only see a great B/W photo, scrapped beautifully, and with love.
