House Pics
Lots of you have been asking for pictures of what I've been doing with the house and since i had a house warming party this weekend I thought I would take a few pictures while I had the camera out.
So, let's start with the bedroom. This is what it looked like before:
And this is now:
The bathroom before:
Now:
The Kitchen before:
Now (we didn't do much except to take down that nasty wallpaper and paint):
Living Room before:
Now (we desperately need artwork in this room):
And this is Kitty in her favorite spot:
And how about a few more of the craft room? hehehe My custom table top arrived on Friday and is now installed - LOVE IT!
I don't think you've seen this angle yet. Here you can see all my rulers! :)
If you notice the box in the first picture next to the expedit... well it's another expedit! Those tall ugly shelves are going away and will be replaced with a full wall of expedits! Yay!
Now, who wants to come over and clean my kitchen while I lay on the couch and watch HGTV all day?














I LOVE what you did with the house. It looks so professionally done-- like it should be on one of those home make-over shows.

Wow Jen, I love the new colors, and hardwood floors, and the new modern look! (And Kitty's new fave spot!)

It looks AMAZING! Wow. What a transformation. Love every single room. Can't believe how fast you did all that. Hope the house warming party went well. I'm sure everyone loved it. :)

Looking so good! I must say I almost had a heart attack when I saw the first pic (because of course, I didn't read the words you had typed) and I thought it was your "after" shot and I was about to seriously doubt your renovation and design you've been talking about this whole time.
The bedroom is my fave--totally something I would live in. :)

Jen, Absolutely great. You have done a excellent job in a short period of time. Don't forget to send the pics -- before and after.

You've done a beautiful job! I can't believe how fast you are too. We've been in our house for about 1 1/2 years now and I still have a bunch of stuff not unpacked, never painted any rooms yet, and have yet to do anything with my masterbedroom. Still working on my office/craft areas too. Want to come down and do it all for me? lol

OMG, your house is awesome. You did a great job of spicing it up. What a difference nice furniture, lots of buckets of paint, and a sense of style can make. Love all the different shades of green in all the rooms. Congrats on the 2nd expedit, a whole wall will look fabulous. I absolutely love your living room carpet. Would you mind telling me where you got it? And about the cleaning the kitchen bit while you watch HGTV, sorry no luck here, you would have to make room for me on the couch too :-))

Well Jen, it looks fabulous! You and Adam did a great job! I love your craft room, it is a nice size. So now when do you invite us over for some playing?

oh I LOVE what you have done with your house. You've done waaaaay more than we have, and we've had our house for over 6 years LOL. Love your craft room, I am so jealous!

You guys have done such an amazing job with your house. Seriously, right out of an HGTV show!

Hey Jen!
I just stopped by to check what camera equiptment you use cause you take such FANTASTIC pictures and got totally side tracked by the GORGEOUS pictures of your house makeover. WOW! What an INCREDIBLE job!!! The bathroom looks completely different and I love the bright colors everywhere. I'm in love with your craft room too. What a dream! Thanks for the inspiration - love the table you constructed ;)
Have a great weekend.

Jen-your home is gorgeous! We are closing on our first house next week...I have some serious painting to do--these people were big MAROON fans. I wondered if you remember what the paint colors you used (especially in the bedroom and kitchen) were called? I am totally inspired by the changes you made here!
