Progress Report

Okay... this is long overdue and things aren't finished, but this is where they currently stand... shoes on the floor and everything.  Here are a few of the before and after pictures of most rooms in the house: (There's a spot on the lens of my camera- on the inside.  That's why there's a dark blurry spot on all the pictures)

Before: Living Room

After:

Before: Kitchen (I think it looks messier after!)

After:

Before: Bathroom (The picture was taken when there was no power on in the house- so it's really not so great.)

After:

Before: Guest Bedroom (Come stay with us!  Right now it's mostly being used as a holding station for my craft stuff until the family room gets new carpet.)

After:

Before: Jared's Office

After:

Before: Laundry Area/Side Entry (Before this had a door that wouldn't even close because someone had kicked the door in.)

Before: Connector room/wide spot in the hallway- I'm still not sure what to call this area.

After:

Before: Hallway

After:

Before: Caroline's Room

After:

Before: Master Bedroom

After:

Before: Master Bath

After:

Before: Master Closet (it now has the furnace that dad relocated- before there was no heating in two of the bedrooms)

After: 

Before: Family Room (This room still needs new carpet, but now has a functional back door and a lovely assortment of free furniture. It's still being used as a kind of work room, but it's nice to have such a nice space to work in :)

After: 

That's it!  There's still lots of things to be should/could be done.. trim around some doors,  roofing, windows, yard work, electrical, organizing, hanging pictures, et al, but it's come so far and it really is a very nice and comfortable home.  We're so happy to be here!
