Home Sweet Home: Before


WE HAVE BEEN HOUSE HUNTING SINCE MAY. IT HAS BEEN A LONG JOURNEY, BUT WE ARE SO BLESSED TO FINALLY HAVE A HOME! WE CLOSED ON OUR HOME ONE MONTH AGO, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING NON-STOP EVER SINCE. THE HOME WAS BANK OWNED AND NEEDED/NEEDS A LOT OF WORK. EVEN THOUGH WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO, WE ARE STARTING TO SEE SOME GOOD RESULTS. HERE ARE SOME BEFORE PICTURES AND THE AFTER PICTURES ARE ON THE PREVIOUS POST. THE AFTER PICTURES ARE STILL NOT FINISHED BUT WILL GIVE YOU A GLIMPSE OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING. THANKS AGAIN TO ALL OF OUR FAMILY WHO'VE HELPED US THROUGH THIS TRANSITION. WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU!


NEEDS A PAINT JOB, BUT WE LOVE THE LOT AND THE MATURE TREES, ESPECIALLY MY BIRCH TREE :)





NICE VIEW OF THE GOLF COURSE RIGHT BEHIND OUR HOUSE


KITCHEN: YIKES :)

LAUNDRY ROOM: OH HOW I LOVE WALLPAPER. A BIG THANKS TO MY MOM FOR TAKING THIS OFF THE WALL FOR ME :)

HALF BATH DOWNSTAIRS


FAMILY ROOM

LIVING ROOM: THE FIRST THING WE DID WAS RIP OUT ALL OF THE URINE STAINED CARPET FROM THE DOWNSTAIRS AND UPSTAIRS. THAT WAS FUN. THANKS FOR SHELLY FOR HELPING US DO THIS JOB. WE WERE REALLY BLESSED AT THE CLOSING ON OUR HOUSE AND ALSO FINDING SOME AMAZING SALES TO BE ABLE TO PUT NEW FLOORING THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE. PRAISE GOD BECAUSE THAT WAS SOMETHING WE HAD TO DO.

DINING ROOM

THREE COATS OF PAINT TO COVER ALL THE WOOD TRIM. TAKES FOREVER, BUT IT REALLY BRIGHTENED EVERY ROOM
