Ok I am finally ready to put the first round of before and after pictures of the inside of our house. There are many more to come as we have been very busy doing remodeling and paiting and decorating but at least now I can put SOMETHING up.
The picture (above) is what the family room looked like when we bought the house. Peach paint, orange bricks and wood paneling behind the TV.
This is the same place with a fresh coat of paint on the wall. I ended up changing my mind though so don't get too attached to that color.
Here is a picture of the family room and dining room the day we moved in.
Here is the entry way which was colorless and the door had a flimsy border and needed to be painted.
The picture (above) is Erik ripping out the same orange bricks that were on the fireplace from the entry way floor. You can see that I had painted the entry way as well.
Here is the finished entry way. We put new baseboards, new floor, new paint and new trim around the door. You may also notice a mysterious hole in the wall where the door-handle hit. We have no idea how that happened but of course it was the same day we finally got the entry way done.
Here (above) is the fireplace after the bricks and wood paneling was taken off. I ended up changing the red color you see here to the color you see below. I also changed the brown to a softer color.
Here is the finished product of the living room/fireplace. I will update this later with the dining room as well. I also have to show you what we did in the basement and some other parts of the house. I will try to get on that soon.
Here's a shout-out to my awesome husband who worked super hard night and day to get everything done. We still have a long way to go but it's starting to feel like home, thanks to Erik's masterful skills and dedication.
