I have been meaning to post some pics of the things we have done in our house, but I am a little weary to do so, because it's not all the way done yet, but a lot has been done to get us moved in! We still have to replace all the light fixtures in the whole house. All the bedrooms have these fans in them that hang down too low and don't put off near enough light!

In this bedroom we tore off all the dated paneling, put up new sheet rock , and insulated the walls. (I act like we did this work ourselves, but we hired out for it, which was nice!!). Along with that we also ripped out all the old moldings and replaced them with new ones all throughout the house...now that was pain!!! All the window moldings and door headers were added as well.

This room had just the one wall sheet rocked over the paneling, because the panels was glued down for life. Serious, there was no getting that stuff off unless we tore down the whole wall!!

This just shows the molding work, and paint. This room is the new nursery to be. But in the mean time it is our clutter room of some of our unpacked stuff.

I already posted some progress photos of us refinishing the wood floors in this room. I plan to paint the shelving on the back wall, and replace the chandelier with something a little more modern. Plus I have to figure out how to cover the holes in the wall where the sconces were. My vision for this room was to make it very neutral with pops of color. The rug matches great, but I eventually want to find one a little less flowery.

As you can see we still have lots to do in this room, even though I feel like we have done lots to it already!! We still have lighting, tile and painting to do!! (Yikes!!) Painting the cabinets was rough. I have a short attention span, so for me, seeing this painting project though until it was done was a challenge. But I am happy with the way it turned out. I choose a black floating glass Jenn-air dishwasher and fridge for their clean look.
