So it's been less than two years and we've taken on two intensive renovations during that time...we have to stay busy somehow! This week our realtor finally got me the pictures he took right before our cute old colonial house sold and I wanted to share them before I shared the "after" pictures of our current mid-century modern house. Just so we can all get some closure.
For a refresh, here are a few old posts about the renovation process: Destroying a Very Large Purchase, Little House on the Prairie, and Kitchen Reveal No. 1!
Here's what we accomplished in a year of living in the house. It was a lot of stress and a lot of hard work. We didn't have time to do everything we wanted to with the house, but I feel good about what we accomplished in the little time we had.
Cut down a tree attacking our water line, put up new fencing, put in new landscaping
Re-plastered a large amount of wall in the main living area, painted trim, added charm/décor
Put in new kitchen and laundry room and new floors in kitchen and dining room
Transformed yucky storage area into kids' playroom
Refinished original hardwood floors throughout whole house, put in new lighting and painted
Repaired and refinished stairs and updated upstairs bathroom with new vanity, mirror, and lighting
Repainted the upstairs and made it cute
Fixed large sections of fence that were falling down and chopped down multiple dead and overgrown trees
We also let the lawn turn brown, but we won't talk about that. Coming up next, more renovation pics and hopefully a new baby. My due date's February 23, but I'm guessing I'll go into March.
