A Little Comparison

Only a year later, I finally have the pictures to do the before and after post of our house! Too bad we had to move before I put these up...on the flip side both sets of pictures contain an empty house so you can get the full effect of the transformation that took place. For any new readers to our blog here's a quick recap. We purchased a home in May of 2009 which was a foreclosure. We did a lot of work on it (as you will see in the pictures). The home came with wallpaper galore, nasty gross mangy mauve/rose/pink carpet. Horrible lanolium...the list goes on. We tore down all the wallpaper, painted everything, replaced ALL of the flooring as well as ALL of the baseboards. We put in laminate hardwood throughout house except in the bedrooms--those got new carpet. Additional projects that came later were repainting the trim on the outside of the house and all of the little jobs we left to do "later." We didn't know that "later" would be so soon so we replaced most of the light fixtures, replaced bathroom fixtures, installed venting fans in both bathrooms, replaced hardware on doors throughout house and many other things. Anyway, here are pictures of the house from before and pictures from after. And there are more to come in the next post.
