Before and After Pictures of the Living and Dining Room

 







After we bought the house we weren't able to move in for a week. We decided that the best decision for us was to get the floors refinished and walls repainted before we moved everything in. Luckily we have family close to stay with and to help out. We truly are so thankful to our families for all of the help they provided, this would have been so much more stressful if we did not have you. 



Here are the rooms furnished. Still feels a little baron though. Things to do to get these two rooms completely finished. . . 
  • Hang art and pictures
  • Buy and hang drapes
  • scrape and repaint window trim
  • put up small molding around the base moulding
  • refinish table and chairs
  • new light fixtures 
  • larger rug for living area
  • serving table for dining room
  • finish filling/decorating book cases
  • put in window seat in between book cases 
So you can look forward to lots more post on the updates as we try to finish up the living areas.

Official Home Owners

It was a very long and grueling process, but as of January 15, 2014 Blake and I are officially home owners.


As you will see from the pictures we have a lot of projects on our hands, but we decided that was what we wanted; an older home we could make our mark on in some way.


The Living Room
Dining Room
Our Bedroom. (If you think that's big you should see the closet ;-))
The Bathroom. (Again, I know so much space)

Peyton's Bedroom/Nursery
Laundry Area 
Sun Room off of Kitchen

Our Kitchen. You have to love the pastel green and yellow ;-)
Another big selling point for this house for us was a rental unit in the basement.









Stay tuned for more pictures as we fix up and make this house our home. . .
