We moved! Well most of you know our story, so I will spare the details, but we recently moved back into the house we first lived in 5 yearsago. Crazy, but thats our life! So when we moved back in, after 2 sets of renters, we knew we wanted to do a little remodeling. We textured the walls, painted, got new doors and moulding, and got new carpet. The kitchen and bathroom stayed the same, but the are next on the list. I was so impressed with Chris! He did most of the projects himself. Our friend Tyler helped us with the painting, and we hired out the carpet, but other than that we did it ourselves! From start to finish, and I mean move-in ready, was 3 1/2 weeks! We busted our butts, and here are the before and after pictures to show our improvements!
(Before on the top, after on the bottom...)
This is our entryway. We had a small closet that was so narrow, you couldn't fit a hanger in it. It was total wasted space, so Chris built a mud room closet, and not only does it look fantastic, but it is so much more efficient!!
This was our bedroom. We had to close in a wall to make it, and now we have one livingroom instead of two!
The familyroom/front room. We used to have an opening in the wall, but we filled that in, and now have a little family room instead.
Cayden's room
Madison's room
The laundry room windows were so old, ugly and dark! They didn't open, and our renters actually broke one, so we had to replace one anyway. We got a steal on the new windows at Home Depot!
New windows
My personal favorite!! This was what I used to call the dungeon. It is more like a one room cellar in the basement(actually the only basement). It was so gross down there and we used it for storage before, and I would send Chris down if we needed anything. NOW... it is my craft room! We painted, got carpet, and put up cute curtains instead of the ugly doors. I love it!!
So... Sorry for all the pictures! But now you can see what we have been up too this last month, and why I haven't blogged!
