Here are some pictures of the house. The kitchen stills needs some doors put on and painted. But we are definitely making progress. it really looks so very different then when we started. We completely tore out the kitchen, extended it and added an island instead of a peninsula.
This is what my cabinets will look like when finished. I chose an antique white. My father in law is making my cabinets and they look so good! I got to pick out the style and they are exactly what I wanted them to be. Never thought I would have custom cabinetry in my home. This picture does not do them justice. They look so much better in person.
Scott did our ceiling lights. We will be continuing them into the dining room. We're just waiting for the weather to cool down so Scott can go into the attic without having a heat stroke.
I really love everything about the kitchen. I have to personally pick everything out myself.
Living room- I just need to get my curtains made and a big throw rug for the floor. We're trying to think of a way to do an entertainment center. Since the room is so small we dont want anything big. So the black shelves are just temporary.
This house was built in the 70s and they never had any blinds. So we had faux wood blinds installed. They have made the house look a lot more finished.
The hall and other side of the living room. I'm still decorating. I had to get rid of a lot of my decorations from my old house cause everything way too big. So im starting all over.
Baseboards! I LOVE them. My step dad got these and had them installed. They are perfect!
Here are a few pictures of the house as we worked.
The master bedroom carpet. We had really nice carpet installed. it is so soft.
The kids rooms. I told my boys to pretend they like each other. they were pretty happy to have their room.
Heres one of the outside after a lot of cleanup. Now to just get the sprinklers working so we can have grass and plants.
Me working. Demo is pretty fun!!
Unfortunately the previous owners left us lots and lots of trash. We have taken that trailer to the dump a lot and still have several loads left. Thank goodness for a dump trailer or this would have taken us forever to unload.
Monster jam! The kids look bored to death. but they really enjoyed it. I was trying to get them to yell and clap with me but all they would do was clap ....
Scott and Carter looke mch more excited! Im pretty sure that Scott and i had the most fun. Him a little more than me. He kept going on and on how awesome it was. I love to see him excited about things. He doesnt show much emotion so i love when i get to see it.
We took Kenzi to the dr and carter loves his wrangler jeans. we get to the drs office and we see our dr before we get into the room and he says, very loudly, 'im wearing my wrangwers' the dr couldnt understand him but the had all the nurses laughing.
this poor girl has been sick with ear infections twice in a months time. she also keeps getting this throat infection also. Im hoping to put the sickness' behind us!!
I got an ipod Bose radio from scott. He also got me a beautiful necklace with matching earrings.
We got a kinect for x box. Super fun!!
the kids made a haul like always. I love to see their faces when they walk down the stairs and see all their presents. Thats the part i look most forward too.
The kids sending letter to Santa. We went to Bass pro shop and had our picture taken and they had some fun activities for the kids.
Beautiful girl!
writing their letters
