Hi guys! As you know, Tyler & I closed on our house a couple of weeks ago!!
Yay! We've been waiting for this day for sooooo long!
Through the ups & downs, I wouldn't change a. single. thing.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to move in immediately because of the long list
of things we wanted to update.
I mean LOOOOOONG list.
Nonetheless, this experience has been very exciting.
Here are some pics of the house before we started our remodel projects.
Keep an open mind! It'll all be so different once we're done with it!
Sorry, I haven't taken a picture of the front of the house, but I will!
This is the front door & small entryway.
The tile is gone and the walls have been painted "water chestnut."
We picked out a beautiful laminate that will go everywhere except the work out room, guest bedrooms & closets.
The entryway closet.
Just off of the entryway is the laundry room & garage conversion
that will serve as our work out/music room.
This is the view from the laundry room door.
The old mantle is being tossed out & we are replacing it with a
beautiful antique fireplace surround. I can't wait!!
Our list is especially long in the kitchen.
The wall to the left is gone now. In it's place is an island.
The cabinets will be painted white & the ugly blue
laminate countertops will be replaced with a dark stone of some sort.
I can't wait for the blue to be gone & our new appliances to arrive!
Bye-bye nasty microwave & stove! Hasta la vista!
This freakishly ugly light is already gone. I couldn't stand it!
Instead we are installing 5 can lights in the ceiling.
Here's our little breakfast area.
I recently acquired a FREE table with 2 leaves & 6 chairs that I will be refinishing.
I love free.
I haven't decided about the chandelier yet. It could work with just a couple coats of paint.
What do you think?
View down the hallway.
To the left is the guest bath, to the right is a guest bed, straight ahead is a guest bed,
& on the far left is the master bed.
The walls are all the same "water chestnut."
Right now the floor is just concrete, but soon they will be beautiful!
Guest bathroom.
The tub and surround is in really good shape, so it stays.
The toilet & pedestal sink are g.o.n.e though.
We are replacing the sink with a dresser turned vanity.
This is what we call the brown room.
It had glitter paint all over the walls & doors.
Just a quick sanding got it off & a couple coats of Kilz removed any evidence.
We are putting carpet in here.
And now, the pink room.
Need I say more?
Who paints a ceiling hot pink??
Oh yeah, the same people who let their children write on walls with glitter plaint
& markers!
The ugly gray carpet is gone & we will replace it with a new beautiful neutral carpet.
This is the master bedroom.
Sorry the pictures are horrible. It's hard to get a good shot of the whole room.
We are continuing the laminate in here as well.
It has a tray ceiling.
One day I will replace all of the light fixtures in the house, but
thats not high on the list right now.
Priorities.
The master bath vanity will be sanded and painted white probably.
A new countertop will complete the look.
The walls have been painted "Barely Jade."
It's a beautiful light blue green.
A new toilet will make this area a lot more inviting. ;)
Ah, the garden tub. The blue marble will be replaced with a neutral tile.
Well, that's all of the before pictures.
Stay tuned for some afters!!
