Sunroom Remodel

As promised, here is another room redo :)

It isn't the most dramatic transformation, but we spent MANY hours scraping this wallpaper down, only to find that the walls underneath needed a little TLC also! So nothing major was done after that though, just a couple coats of pain...which we of course couldn't agree on! ;) I wanted a color of course, because it is a sunroom after all! Someone else....(no names lol)...wanted tan...boring...as you can see...I WON! :)

So here's the wallpaper

every wall....

the opening into the kitchen

view from the dining area, so you have an idea where this room is :)

starting the tearing down process...my mother in law and sister in law did a lot of work helping in there! THANK YOU!! :)

horrible lighting...but here it is now!!

filled with little kiddo toys...as I'm doing a bit of babysitting these days :)

yes the neighbors are quite close on that side...and yes he DOES have his Christmas lights up already!!! Do people really do it that early??

better pic of the pretty yellow color :) at least I think it's pretty!

And there you have it! Might not seem like a huge project...but I feel like it was! :) We spend a lot of time playing in here, and I love the warm yellow color...and it's my favorite room in the house when it's super sunny out! It stays nice a warm, hopefully that will be helpful in the nasty winter coming up :) I'd love to get some valances yet and replace the ceiling fan (or paint it)....but those things are yet to come, someday I hope. Also, something you can't tell in the pictures...that is the MOST COMFY carpet ever!! Everyone comments on how cushy it is...we got the extra long stuff so the babies wouldn't hurt themselves, and maybe to hide a few cheerios too! lol hope you enjoyed!

House Pics

So I've had a few friends asking (begging...harping...patiently waiting) for me to post some pictures of our new place that we've been working on, since they don't have facebook. So here is one of those long awaited posts! I thought I'd show room by room so that you can see before and after (current) pics. So without further ado, here is the room I spend A LOT of my day in! I had a many ideas for how I wanted my kitchen to look, and with a lot of sweat equity later...I'm glad to say I LOVE it! :) Enjoy a few pictures!

this is the kitchen before

side wall with built in shelves & pantry

starting to tear down...

and everything's gone!! almost...

then we decided to totally start over...and re-drywall everything!

the cabinets are up! my husband lovingly put them in all by himself :)

and we're moved in!! flooring also done by the hubs :) lots to do still...

this is the kitchen...as of tonight :) progress... but still have some finishing touches! and some BAR STOOLS!!! Not an easy thing to find - cheaply at least :)
And sorry for the horrible lighting, it's not usually this "dim" in the kitchen but I had a hard time taking good pictures!

and a view walking in from the garage

You might also notice that the tile backsplash is actually not technically "up" yet, I've laid it there in hopes that it will get done soon...sigh...someday :)

So there you have it...the room I spend most of my time in :)

And I thought just for kicks and giggles...I'd leave you with this lovely picture of my daughter :)

how can you beat that face?? I think the snot dripping from the nose is the best part!:)
