Before + Afters: Part 1

After working on more house projects this evening, I took a walk around today and realized- we ALMOST renovated every single room. That's pretty huge. And I love our house now (which was 100% NOT the case when we moved in, the floors were scratched, and it smelled like wet dog). A great feeling pre-baby (even though umm baby's room is not finished yet).

It got me thinking I should go back and look at how far we've come. So tonight, I bring you, Before and After Part 1. My camera died before I got upstairs to take a photo of the master bathroom or the latest bathroom update, but we can start now and finish when the baby room is complete. Besides, the cat room is almost finished thanks to my mom's help, so it wanted to make a appearance. Let's start there.

CAT/STORAGE ROOM BEFORE


 CAT/STORAGE ROOM AFTER


New Carpet remnant, ikea storage boxes already owned, storage container from Ikea, pillows already owned and in the "man cave", relocated kitty things. It could still use some paint and more decor!

FAMILY ROOM BEFORE


FAMILY ROOM AFTER



New paint (x2- did not like first color), new couches, storage window seat already there, frame layout stolen from PB, frames from wedding gifts, Pier 1 lamp, gifted carpet, tons of photos!

GUEST ROOM BEFORE


 GUEST ROOM AFTER



This room was horrid when we moved in. The floors were refinished, half the walls ripped out and redone, many coats of paint, new curtains, Jamie's grandmother's tray for the "guest things", new headboard made by moi, and the other side of the room houses an antique dresser and tons of photos with frames too.

KITCHEN BEFORE



KITCHEN "PROGRESS"



KITCHEN AFTER



This kitchen went through the whole reno, and you saw it all here. It was stripped down to the studs. New walls, new ceilings, new floors, new cabinets, new fridg, new oven, new microwave... New tiling, new everythingggg. Oh, the eating area still needs to be painted and the china cabinet reno-ed. But this totally works for me. LOVE.

That's all for tonight. In Before + After Part #2, we've got the baby's room (!!!), "man cave", downstairs bathroom, upstairs bathroom, and master bedroom. This makes me feel retrospectively productive. Yay for our renovated house.
