Lights, Paint, and Action

A very sad day for the Vibert's last week. Their sweet dog Nickel passed away. She was 16 years old and full of love! Anyone who knew her will miss her. I know I will.



So, I know I haven't blogged in a while.... We have been so busy working on the house I forget to blog about it! Last week we finished up most of the upstairs painting. It looks so nice and fresh! And no more gold, yellow paint!!

Here's Guest Bedroom #1:
BEFORE
It's current state:
New Fan- new wall color, new ceiling color, fresh trim. Doors still not put back in, Still gets new carpet.the famous CAMO room: Before:
Let's just marvel at this site for a minute............................. What in the HECK were they thinking?! I wish you could see the texture on this wall. I cannot tell you how happy we are for this to be gone. We are framing a piece of the paper that came off and putting in the basement. To show our kids where we came from, haha! And for others to see this monstrosity in person!

Here it is Currently

It looks 10x better in person!! New light fixture. New celing and wall color, trim is primed to be white and not poopoo brown! And New carpet to come!


CRAFT ROOM
They used this as a TV room or so, I think I'm going to use it as a craft room/office. I always have so many random projects going and now I'll have a place for them!

BEFORE:
Craft room NOW:




We are obviously getting rid of the baseball mitt fan.... but we have new wall color- green! and a gray ceiling! Which is a little funky, but hey, it's a craft room! Why not be fun in one room!!

We are getting carpet on TUESDAY! YAY!!


HALF BATH
I don't have a half bath picture before, but this is it currently. We are doing a lot of work on this bathroom.

We have removed the dated white painted vanity, and are replacing it with this beauty!



You can't see much detail, but it is gorgeous! Espresso finish with stainless hardware. We are also going to replace the hexagon tile with travertine tile. I cannot wait to see this finished product!

These are all of the pictures I have right now but I am hoping to get a before/after of the kitchen! It looks like a totally different place! And continues to change.

Light fixtures have been picked out and we got to get the one I fell in love with for a special price! I just could not get this light out of my brain once I saw it!! All of our lighting is a little funky, and I'm hoping it all works together! This one will go over my grandmothers dining room table. To make it in a mixture of classic and rustic whatever this is. :)

I am getting so excited about all of the changes, they are becoming more and more visible! We slowly moving some items in everytime I go over. But this weekend are hoping to move a LOT! But save the big stuff for another day!!

In Wedding news: Looks like we have scheduled our engagement pictures for October 23rd! YAY! I'm anxiously excited!

It is all coming together, and it makes my heart happy!
