BEFORE
it wasn't in too bad a shape, except for the broken windows and old lighting which I definitely had to replace. The house was built in 1965 so there was definitely some old stuff. We wound up doing a lot more though and when you look at the pictures below, notice not just the new windows and lighting, but new appliances, new wood trim everywhere, new mantle, hell even the ceilings were redone. I replaced all the burned out electrical outlets, added dimmers, fixed up the yard, added a workshop in the garage and so much more. |
AFTER
And this is what the house looks like now, mostly finished. There
is always more to do
but the major remodeling is done and I'm well on my way to having it
decorated to my liking.
I'll replace these pics with updated ones as I make some progress!
Update 3/18/05:
I finally took some pics with all the new art in the living room as
well as the new Log-Style Dining Table
Many of these pics are out of date, even the living room ones I just
updated cuz I finally finished all my wood work last weekend, after I took
the pics!
Lol, it's so hard staying on top of all these changes! Here are
some examples:
My bedroom's got a new comforter, the office has new shelves, the guestroom
has been cleaned up, there are new lights in the kitchen and laundry room,
etc.
I'll be working on finishing up the office, guestroom and bedroom next
and I'll just take pics once most of the work is done.
I'm also taking a landscape architecture class so expect some drastic
improvements to the yard as well.
