A Little Progress...

Ok so the old carpet is being pulled up and the new floors are being laid down.  The kitchen cabinets are getting primed and painted.  At about this point in the remodel I was almost over it!  This was a LOT of work, maybe a little more than we expected.  However, we pushed through and it was most certainly worth the blood, sweat, and tears!  Everything is done now, except for cleaning and accessorizing so I will be posting some more pictures of the final product soon!  

Cheers,

Let the Renovations Begin!

     Ok, so basically I was absent for the entire month of January, but I have a good excuse!  Two days after Christmas we decided to do a complete overhaul of our house as our Christmas gifts to each other.  We painted the entire house, got rid of all the old carpet and installed new floors, painted our kitchen cabinets, replaced our gutters, assembled a shed, and made COUNTLESS trips to Lowes!

     I was so excited about starting all of these projects that taking "before" pictures completely left my mind!  I can't believe I forgot to do that!  I scrounged around to find a few that can give you a general idea of what it looked like before.  I did however take plenty of pictures during the process (please don't judge the mess!), and am taking a few throughout while we finish up all the odds and ends!  These are a few before pictures, well what I could find!

Before (as best as I can give)      
These are the old, dark brown walls in the entry hall and the hallway, the old light fixtures, dirty carpet, and linoleum floors.  I am still trying to find a before picture of the kitchen...stay tuned!  haha
Anyway, I will post a few of the "in the process" photos tomorrow!

Cheers,
