the "before" pictures...

ok people, be prepared to be very nervous for us.
when you see the before pictures of our house, i can just hear you all saying,
"what were they thinking?!?!"

but that's just because you don't have our "vision".
i had to explain the "vision" to my mom too, when we first saw the house.
don't worry, it all turned out ok and she loves it.

now here it is, it all her carpeted and wallpapered glory:

front room
^your first view as you walk in the front door

^front door and coat closet

^the big front room window with the beautiful old curtains

^and everything was coated in this wallpaper


the hallway
^ i actually love these hall closets, they are so great for storage!


the master bedroom
^stunning green carpet with our air mattress

^ nice little cedar "his and her" closets
^ and this wallpaper i ALMOST wanted to keep… almost.


the extra room
^more of the same green carpet and double closets 




the dining room
^now tell me you don't love that wallpaper




the kitchen
^ check out those linoleum floors!
i mean, really, did we even need to remodel this?




the laundry room



the bathroom
^ why yes, that IS carpet in the bathroom

^ that color scheme though… so lovely



extra goodies
^these are vents were actually really cool

^ that little pulley on the top of the door played the cutest little song.
i'm not sure what it was used for, but we listened to it every once in awhile

^ a paper towel holder in the kitchen! why did i think this was so cool?
i almost had dawson convinced to put it in the new kitchen, but i guess there was "no room".


so there you have it.

our first home.

now be prepared to see a lot of updates…
it's not finished, but will it ever be?
(i haven't even put up any pics of the basement, and that's half the house!)
every day i add more and more projects to my list.
just wait and see!
