Before and After

Just wanted to post a few before and after pictures showing the different things we have done in our new house.  The before pictures were taken when we were at the house for the inspection.

The main difference other than having our own decor and furniture in the space, are the beautiful laminate floors that Charles put in.  It was his first time doing something like that and he did an awesome job!  We kept the paint color which is a spiced tan color, very warm.  Also, we took down those horrible vertical blinds, I HATE those things.  The pictures are like night and day, because obviously the before pics were taken in the day and the after at night.  Still, a nice change I think.

Kitchen After:

I did a lot of work in here.  The stove and walls had a lot of grease which needed to be scrubbed off.  I painted the walls a wonderful rich green (creamy guacamole).  I redid the old scratched and stained formica countertops with a faux granite kit.  We added brushed nickle hardware to the cabinets and added a pantry along side the fridge.  I also made the curtains and of course added all the accessories.

Many more projects to come, but we are having fun decorating, renovating and repairing our new home.
