... & we've been crazy at work re-doing the house. I keep telling Vance, if we EVER move again, we are moving into a "move-in ready" house. I feel like our life is in constant chaos because we are ALWAYS doing house projects. Luckily my husband is a plumber and my dad and brother are rather handy (my dad built their extension and helped my grandpa build a house while my older bro worked maintenance for a huge hotel while he was in college way back when)... so far the floors are done (laminate), the wall of mirrors have been removed, the gross staircase coverings have been removed, the upper kitchen cabinet is being removed as I type this and the house is 75% painted. Unfortunately the bathrooms still need to be completely gutted and renovated and we need to add some type of grass outside for the dogs AND we have tentative plans to re-carpet upstairs.
Anyhoot, here are the "before" pictures:
Dining Room
Hallway-- check out the mirrors on the kitchen cabinet (?)
More mirrors in the kitchen:
Living room (carpet was ripped a few hours after I took this and laminate wood floors are in!)
Downstairs bathrooms-- yep, that's TILE ON THE WALL. Those have been removed, but the bathroom is in shambles.
Wall of mirrors in the living room:
View of dining room from living room (& my mom cleaning the floors-- she's obsessed with cleaning the floors!)
Outside patio:
That's it for now! I don't have Internet access at home anymore, so it makes it quite hard to blog and add pictures, but I'll be sure to update with some of the "after" pictures :)
That's a lot of mirrors! Good luck with all the renovations! Can't wait to see your 'after' photos!

ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by! It is my firm belief that one cannot go wrong with a longchamp tote! It's even better if it's bright pink!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm kinda digging the mirrors, very 70's chic?
