Progress on The New House

We are nearing completion! This has been a year in the works and soooo worth it. We did all the work ourselves on this house- demolition and rebuilding- up until it came to drywall mudding & texturing, tile and plumbing. We are also having a contractor do the finish work (doors, closets, trim, windows- etc.). I got it all painted and carpet came this week and the tile guy is nearly finished. We are so close!

My kitchen- I love this backsplash and my hickory cabinets. Can't wait until it's complete.


Kitchen BEFORE-


Upstairs bathroom before-



My shower-


My 6 ft. tub- ahhhh...can't wait to soak in it! (well..after a whole lotta bleach, huh? LOL) It needs grout too.


Remember the ugly rock fireplace?


It was just so dirty and hard to clean. There was no way I was ever going to get that dusty look off.

So, I painted that sucker! And I love how it turned out.


Living room now- trim and crown moulding and window trim still to go but what an improvement, huh?


Remember the "Stairway to Hell"?


Not so hellish anymore! Yay!



Wanna make some kids REALLY happy? Paint their living room bright green and put some carpet in. Instant happiness!


Cuz it looked like THIS before...



This may be the best transformation though. The Infamous Basement Bathroom-


Here it is now!


More pics to come when it's all finished, cleaned and shined up. Can't wait!
