Our Home Renovation---DONE!

Here is the final product of our home remodel...some rooms merely got a paint job and new furniture/ bedding. Our master bedroom got a full on face lift. I don't have before pics of every room but the after is what really matters anyhow!



This is our front bedroom that has served as a storage/ junk/ guest room since we've been here. Now it is only going to be a guest room, clean and pretty and nothing else! The bedding I put in here isn't necessarily my style--I would normally choose something more colorful and modern--but the Wanescoating kind of lends itself to something a bit softer so I thought this worked. I also that using silver/ white/ black as the accent colors helped to make it look a bit younger.

 

 

 

This is the before version of our master bathroom. The flooring that you see here is new and just installed. Parker did the floor installation himself as well as the tiled wall behind the sink. I helped paint, did all the decorating and installed the shower head myself (I wasn't completely useless during this whole thing!).

 

 

 

 

 

Parker's pet project was this tiled wall. He really wanted to do it and it looks awesome. It gives the bathroom a little something special since it is pretty small.

It's kind of hard to explain, but this room was located on the other side of Luke's old bedroom but was only accessible through a door in our garage. It has served as an extra guest room, an office and most recently, a giant dumping ground for everyone's stuff. We decided to seal off the doorway and cut out the wall between the two rooms to make one large master. It wasn't until we cut through that we realized there was about a one foot step down into the new room. No big deal, we added a wood ledge and actually really like how it looks.

The wall is gone!

Luke's old bedroom which is now serves as the front part of our master where our bed and my closet is.

The finished product!

This is our old living room. Definitely needed something besides a train table!

 

A new couch, entertainment center, wall hangings, lamps and drapes made a huge difference!

 

 

 

We were completely exhausted by the time this was all done but the effort was definitely worth it! We are finally comfortable in and proud of our home!
PS- We will probably be here for the next couple of years then hopefully we will be able to build our dream home. As rewarding as it is to know that we did this all ourselves, I told Parker that anything we do from here on out we are paying somebody to do it for us!
