Home Make-Over - Before & After

We started our little home improvement project at the beginning of July and FINALLY everything was finished last week.  It was a long process and for the 3rd summer in a row we have had home improvement projectss going on during the HOTTEST part of the year, but alas, we survived!  Granted there are still little things to be done here and there, but for the most part we are done... for now.

Entry Before



Entry After

This is one of those areas where work still needs to be done.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with our old living room tables, so here they sit in our formal living/computer room.

Sewing Room Before

Sewing Room After

Randy built a wall for me and installed French doors, so I now have a space all my own!

He also painted the shelves and tables for me.  I still have quite a bit of organizing to do in here, but it's getting close.  I ordered a ribbon rack from Rylie's Crafts which I know will be the answer to all my ribbon mess!

Living Room/Kitchen Before

Living Room After

I forgot to take a picture of the kitchen, but basically it just got new tile, removed the curtains, textured and painted the wall to match the rest of the house.  Hoping for new countertops and cabinets in the near future. (fingers crossed)

Guest Room Before

Our bonus room upstairs is now our guest room.

Jack's Big Boy Room Now

At the beginning of May Jack learned to climb out of his baby bed, so we did what any concerned parents would do and made the baby bed into a toddler bed.  Well let me just tell you that I have a toddler who HATED the toddler bed and refused to sleep in it.  He would look and point at the bed and say "dada broke" because he thought Daddy had broken the bed.  Despite my efforts to get him to sleep in the toddler bed (think Elmo bedding, bedtime books, sitting next to the bed, etc) he would not sleep in the toddler bed, and has since been sleeping on the couch.  I'm happy to report he is sleeping in his new big boy bed, but it is still a fight.

Nursery Before

Jack's Playroom After

I love the pictures that were above Jack's baby bed too much to take them down, so for now I'm going to leave them.  Although I love his new big boy room and his playroom, I'm really sad we no longer have a nursery in our house.  It was always my favorite room!  But... I am loving that there are very few toys in my living room now! HA!

I hope you enjoyed the quick tour of our home!  I've made some changes in our master bed and bath, but it's not quite finished yet.  I'll post pics as soon as I'm done!

Happy Friday!
