Before and After

It has been a crazy week. After living in our home for almost two years we finally updated our bedrooms. We painted, replaced light fixtures, light switches/electrical sockets, added molding and we paid someone to install carpet over our ugly hardwood floors. Matt’s mom helped us throughout this whole process. She helped prep the rooms for paint, helped paint the main color, helped Matt with the molding so I could go to a Baby Shower and she watched Evan for two days so he could run around because our living room, kitchen and hall had all our things from our bedrooms. It would have taken us longer than a week to get this done if it weren’t for her. Thank you so much Mom!
Here are some before and after pictures of our work for your enjoyment.

Our Bedroom
Whoever painted this room last did a horrible job. You cant see it in the pictures but half the trim was painted so it was half white and this ugly beige color. Walls were different colors so the paint was differnt and the application was just bad. They missed spots. They also took out the molding and never replaced it so you can see the plaster underneath. Take my word for it that it was bad.


The floors are a different story. Gross!

His room had the same problems as ours

Since we put carpet in our bedrooms we put carpet down in the basement bedroom as well. We replaced the carpet down there over a year ago but didn't put any in the bedroom. Our next big project will be our kitchen. I'm excited to get going on that.
