Our New House Before & After

Well we finally did it!! We got in our house on October 20, 2011! We've been working our guts out getting it cleaned, painted, and fixed up. Brian and his dad have been doing all the big heavy work and I've done most of the painting and decorating. We're so excited about it still. We just walk around going, "Look at our cool house." "Remember how we have this awesome house??" We're silly but it's been so fun and exciting. So here are some of the pictures. As you can see, we have 2 guest bedrooms so that's an open invitation and we're expecting some visitors!!!!

This is our living room right in the front door. It's one big room that continues through the dining room and kitchen so it's nice. Here's the before...

And this is the after....

This is our kitchen before...

And after a lot of scrapping, cleaning and washing..here's the kitchen after.

Our bedroom was painted an olive green color with a ton of cream colored paint sloppily painted over it. I think they were going for a 'textured' look but it just looked terrible. So we had our work cut out for us. Really...it looked bad.

So this is the after!! We love it! Brian put the chair rail up just the other day and it made it look so good! He's in the process of building a custom headboard and it looks good too.

Then we took an ordinary basement and made it...

...into a sweet theater room!! (You know you wanna come visit...!)

So this is one of our guest bedrooms before and after.

And this is the second guest bedroom before and after.

This is the laundry room/storage room...it scares me. Something about concrete rooms in a basement is creepy. lol too bad we have to do laundry so I have to go in. lol

Oh...and this is just a bonus. :-)

We have one more bedroom that's just an office/storage and the yard still needs some work but we're lovin' it. It's kept me very busy so I've been glad not to have a job yet.
