New front door

The front door I salvaged from the Habitat re-store and stripped down and re finished, I forgot to take a picture of the door handle hardware but I will put a picture up of the finished project when we put it on the house I promise!


kitchen updates

Just a quick flash back to how horrible and disgusting the kitchen once was when we first bought it.....


As we cleaned it up.....


The view from the living room since we took the wall half down to put a bar seat area
cabinets!


We still have to get counter tops and do the back splash and tile the floor..the list never ends but at least it looks a ton better already

some new things...

I have finished mudding and sanding all the drywall around the new window as well as other walls and it is primed and ready for paint


I just layed tile down (not something I recommend doing by yourself like I did, the mortar dries too fast for one person to keep up with!!) in the bathroom and need to grout it. Here is a picture of what the tiles look like
Bathroom is painted and Nate put up the sconces tonight
I know it is hard to tell the color with my flash and the light at night but wanted to give you an idea of it. It is a blueish green color, actually it is the same color we put in our kitchen in our house
Hall closet has been painted out and new handles

Bath and Tub updates

The claw foot tub is ready to be put in to the bathroom. It is SO cute, a 41/2 footer with chrome feet.

(Don't mind the bubble wrap between the feet and the tub)

The lights we put out on the porches and below the lumber to build the deck

The bathroom wainscoting is up, and primed and the bathroom is ready for paint color and then we can tile!

Not bad considering it used to look likes THIS! (Warning ugly bathroom below!)
