House Anniversary!

One year ago today we moved into our new (old) house. The owner allowed us to move in before closing to save us some money and hassle with moving. We took a few pictures then and I wanted to compare it to it's current state. We have big plans (and little plans) for this forever home and are slowly (like slower than a snail) making it our own.

Dining Room

before:

currently:

 We still have a lot to do in there. I have a new fixture to put up. The side table is going, all the pictures in the corner need to be hung (but not in here). I also have the vision of some thick silk blue or neutral drapes in here.

Kitchen

before:

currently:

The kitchen cabinets were painted, we've replaced the dishwasher and faucet (and garbage disposal). This room needs a total overhaul (there's hardwoods under the laminate but we are keeping those safe until we remodel).

Boy's Room

before:

 currently:

 Originally the boys had another room, but we found it better to have them in a different part of the house because with the wood floors everything is louder and they kept waking KC. They love their space (it's bigger) and they have their own bathroom.

Boys' Bath

currently and before :)

 yea, this needs a total overhaul.

Girl's Room

currently:

I couldn't find the before for this room, but it was purple with purple trim. We moved the boys in here first, and then saw it worked better for the girls. We have a new ceiling fan to install and I have curtains to hang. Most of this room is done! Our neighbor made a KC sign to hang over KC's bed.

Girls' Bath

currently and before:

Slowly taking down the border in here. I have plans to paint it a light pink (the tile is yellow) and I'm thinking of wrapping the mirror in wood. This will get a total overhaul as well!

Just a few changes and a look down memory lane. Moving in we redid the floors (they were covered in carpet), painted EVERYTHING (ceiling, walls, trim, doors), and installed new carpet. Since then we've updated the dishwasher, faucet, disposal, and HVAC. We'd love to add another level to this house and bump out the front a few more feet but that will come much later!
