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 :)

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.
