Welcome to our new home!

Before meets After (with a TON of hard work in the middle.)  

I am beyond ecstatic with how it turned out.  And not to toot my own horn, but BEEP BEEP!  We closed, remodeled, and unpacked (with pictures on the wall) in less than a month.  Yes, We ROCK!  

Prepare for a long post with a lot of pictures, so I'll hit you with the highlights of how we transformed the house:

• Painted every single interior wall and trim
• Added hardwood floors
• Updated electrical
• Installed window treatments on 90% of the windows
• Put in a backyard fence for Barkley
• Replaced pedestal sink with vanity/lights in bathroom
• Replaced lights/ceiling fans
• Added wall/door in basement

So those are the highlights (yep, more was accomplished!)

Mission Accomplished!  I think we turned a bland/boring house into a home, and I couldn't love it more!  We're going to love spending the next 4 years here.  Come visit! :)
