Home Sweet Home- Remodeling Part 1

So we've lived in this Money Pit, I mean wonderful home, for about a year and a half now. If you know us well, you know what we've gone through with this house. It's been a chore! And having a baby right after moving in did not speed up the process either! But we've worked (yes, we've done almost ALL of the work ourselves!) and we've survived. Here are some before and after pics of some rooms. More to come later!

**You will have to forgive me because I played with the formatting on this post TONS of times and it never would do what I wanted it too. I know it looks stupid!**

Guest Bedroom- Major remodeling tasks included:

• Textured walls, Painted walls, ceiling, window/door trim, crown molding, baseboards
• Installed window/door trim, baseboards, crown molding, and quarter round
• Ripped up carpet and laid hardwood flooring

Master Bedroom-

• Installed window/door trim, baseboards, crown molding, and quarter round
• Ripped up carpet and laid hardwood flooring

Unfortunately we do not have a BEFORE picture for the master bedroom, but I will give you a mental picture. Like all of the other rooms in the house, there were holes all in the walls and gum in the carpeted floor. The room was painted an irredescent purple that glittered from certain angles (David says it looked like a bass boat!)

Kitchen- If the kitchen had not already been somewhat remodeled, this house would have totally been a no-go!

• Painted walls, ceiling, window/door trim, crown molding
• Repaired water leak under kitchen sink
• Replaced kitchen sink faucet
• Repaired attic water leak and patched ceiling
• Installed cabinet knobs and drawer pulls

The pictures don't do this room justice, but it was a lovely shade of orange!
