Our House!!!

O.k. people- this is a huge post but seriously our house took up a huge part of our life so I wanted to show off all the hard work that went into transforming something nasty into something homey and beautiful!!

BEFORE:
(we didn't take very many before pictures because it totally grossed us out but I should of to give you all the full effect)
The carpet was nasty!! I can't even explain the colors- puke pink probably..


When we ripped up the carpet we found these beautiful wood floors!!!!


Here is the lovely master bathroom with a pink sink and pink tub- the carpet probably matched when it was new..


The kitchen cabinets were like a yellow brown color but all the appliances were new so that was exciting!!



THE FIXING UP:

Jason is very good with a hammer and crow bar and stuff :) We learned a ton from fixing this place up- thanks to the help of people teaching us!!

My mom and dad are pro home improver's so they taught us how to texture our ceilings- Thanks mom and dad!!


Here is Katie- ready to have a baby at anytime, but she was always smiling and helping us have a good time!!- Thanks Katie- seriously we couldn't of done it without you guys!!!


My smokin hot handy man :)



Colby redid his wood floors and they are beautiful so he helped us do ours and we couldn't be happier with the results :) Thanks Colby I appreciate all your help and electrical help too!!


Jake and Katie were helping us all the time- they were our motivators and they are pro painters so they helped make sure it turned out good!! Thanks so much guys- I think we would still be fixing the place up if you guys didn't help us!! I'm glad we can do normal hang out things now instead of work on the house every night!! haha love you guys!!

Even after working hard all day and night he still looks amazing!! Love ya hun!! :)

AFTER:
This is our favorite room in the house!! Our couch is seriously the most comfortable thing ever!! And I love my red wall Jason was so good to me and let me paint fun colors through out the house!! Jason's favorite part is his TV mounted on the fireplace..

This is the plum wall that took a lot of convincing to get!!!! Jason and Jake and Katie surprised me one day and had it painted when I got home from work :) We have white cupboards now and it looks fabulous!
Our bedroom
Jason's office (I have a craft room but it is kinda the storage room right now)

Our main bathroom- the tub was pink too but we had it redone and it is white now.. I still need to make the curtains for this room.. the colors are tans and browns and golds!! My favorite Greg Olsen angel picture is hanging above our toilet..
The navy ocean bathroom :) it was hard to get a good picture so I just thought I would show ya the awesome blue wall!


Thank you everyone who helped us!! We couldn't of done it with out you all!! We love you all so much and appreciate all your help!!!

Wow, looks like quite the transformation! That is awesome that you have a hubby who is so handy! I will be coming out to visit for a week over the 4th of July. I work at APX in the corp office. I am pretty bummed about not being there this summer! Boston is going to be a fun place.
