Introducing .... Our "new" kitchen!

Okay, so it's not new really. But it's freshly updated with paint and hardware.

Check out the crazy transformation that cost us about $150, plus lots of free labor.

New Living Room Decor

I changed around some decor in our living room. What do you think of the changes?

I also added these little photos to the side wall.

Baseboards

The baseboards are done!! It took us what seemed like forever to go through all eighteen million, okay, six, steps. But it's finally something we can cross off our list.

Unfortunate Camera Incident

Due to the fact that my camera was stolen, new renovation pictures will be delayed.

Here are some projects that have recently been completed that I hope to capture soon:

• Baseboards are DONE!
• Front door refinishing DONE!
• New doors on 1/2 bath and closet downstairs (in progress)
• Final Kitchen pics (need to put up 1/4round, and attach two final drawer pulls)
• New art in the living room (all framed and ready to hang)

Up next

• Refinish upstairs guest bath vanity and paint walls
• Finish painting master bath (only trimmed out right now, ooops!)
• Organize office and put art on the walls
• Figure out what color to pain the spare room and find a twin bed on craigslist
• Backyard - clean, landscape, furnish
  

As you can see, our project list is getting smaller, but we still have a bit to do. I'm really enjoying how much our house is starting to feel like a home. My most recent visitor came by last Friday night and told me that it feels like a "spa." I'll take it! I love that it feels so serene and peaceful.

I'll update as soon as we get a new camera (hopefully Costco has a good deal!).
