New House! (The top half)

Here it is! I guess I should really say here it is now. As soon as we are back down to only one mortgage the color will become a slightly different neutral and those green shutters and garage door will be changed to a different, but still undecided, color.
Here is the entry-way before (get a load of that light fixture!)...
And here it is now...

Living room before...
With two of these in it...
And here is the living room now (new, much prettier ceiling fans). Still in need of window treatment and wall decor...
Dining room before (complete with 1960's style light fixture)...
And after...still in need of some artwork and window treatments. I can visualize both but have yet to find them in stores. The computer desk has also been relocated to the lower level.
Pass-through window to kitchen and kitchen which we didn't do much to other than add our things and a newer and better smelling refrigerator. It still needs window treatments, a rolling island we have been shopping around for, and a back splash.
Hallway to the bedrooms with new light fixture and paint...looks almost the same as before.

Babies room before...

And after (just about done)...



Big kids' room before...

And after (in need of window treatments and some more wall decor to be put up)...


Our room before...

And after...


Upstairs bathroom (kept the paint, added our things)...

And the biggest change is all of the hardwood floors. They were in really bad shape. Here's just a taste...

Neil worked long long long days and refinished them himself, saving us about $3000, which is what the lowest estimate we got. Look how pretty they are now...

And that's the upstairs! We still need to put in lots of baseboard trim and add some final touches here and there but we are settled and love our new home!

The downstairs is a work-in-progress and I hope to add pictures soon!
