Before and After

Well, I sorted the house pictures for the before and after PROOF pictures. They will make a great coffeetable book someday!

We are moved in and finishing more projects each week. Even though it seems neverending, I have to look at these pictures and remember what we started with.

We are thrilled with the results and are pretty overwhelmed with the space and beauty. It has been a great adventure. Yet, it reminds me of high school ... learned some great things, but pretty sure you couldn't pay me enough to do it again. Enjoy!

This is the house. Not too much different that you can see, but it took a lot of work just to clean it up. We hope to have gutters and shutters on before winter and worry about the yard another year.

We would like to insert a round about driveway in the front and remove several trees. The driveway now goes right up to the LV room window because the LV room used to be the 2 car garage until the owners did a remodel.

This is the guest bathroom. We are pleased that the salmon is gone, and definitely the brass animal. Sometimes there's a line. Unfortunately, this whole house at several points had that beloved mark.
This is obviously the kitchen. This was our biggest project in the house and you can see why. We also love this room because of all the work that went into it, and $, and it just turned out beautiful. The pull out drawers are my favorite. We are not used to such luxury.

This picture above is not a great one, it was when we first moved in, but it gives you an idea of the overall flow from the LV room to the Kitchen and Dining rooms. There is now some Cherry tirm around the archway and off to the right that you can't see inside of the LV room is a door to the mud room, office, and garage.

Then as you can see through the Dining room there are stairs. Upstairs there are 3 bd rooms including the master and the blue guest bathroom. Downstairs is another bathroom, laundry, pantry, and 3 more bd rooms. In the dining room there are double doors to the right going into a hot tub room (picture below). You can see the brick where the home originally ended and this was added onto. This will be a fun room to remodel some day.

This is the Master bedroom. You can't see it, but if the picture was taken back a bit you'd see an exact size repeat of this picture. It is a HUGE room. We have our computer and a sitting area there now that's being finished.

This is the Living Room that was remodeled in 1988 - it used to be the two car garage. It sits off from the Kitchen and Dining Area.

This is our home! Thanks to all the family and friends who helped!! This home will continue to bring many more projects as all houses do. In a strange way it has been fun to see lots of little updates that can still be done over time, ie. hot tub room and backyard to name a few.

We are currently doing the garage to prepare for winter, so the process continues. But, we are so happy here and the ward and neighborhood are the highlights. The Lord has blessed us. And we have so many reasons to be grateful!
