Before and After

I've been promising before and after pictures to some of you for quite awhile. It took us several weeks to finish the projects, and then a week to move in and get settled. We are looking forward to our first Saturday in months to sit and do very little!

Kitchen before and after,


Kitchen had a white sink, white counter top, and white cabinets.


























We replaced with a stainless sink to match the appliances, and put in an American Cherry Butcher Block counter top, and left the cabinets white.


































In the Master Bedroom,

There was purple carpet, lavender walls, matched with a green bathroom tile. Horrible, the purple carpet went all up and down the stairs and landing outside the master bedroom.















We replaced with brown carpet and green walls

























Laundry room went from dull grey and mottled wall with green stained cabinets and a nasty yellow counter top




















To Yellow walls, white cabinets, and a couple of remnants from the butcher block replaced the yellow countertop.

The biggest change though was shopvac'ing up enough pet hair to reconstitute a clone of the dog you see in the picture above.






















Living room

















we did nothing bud add furniture and a rug


























The garage became my playground

We've Moved!

Well, we are officially moved in to our new house. We've spent two nights here thus far. It's still a work in progress, but with living 30 minutes away from our project, and me being pregnant, it was easier to go ahead and move in. We'll hopefully finish up all the loose ends in the next week or two. It was too hectic and crazy to try to live in two different places.

We still have little bits of painting and cleaning to do before we can totally unpack. So, there's boxes everywhere! I've got to figure out where I want everything to go. We have almost two months before the new baby, and we hope to have everything done and settled by then.

I still will post more pictures--after things are a little more settled and put away. Have a great week, everyone!!
