Ok, I am going to do this in chronological order, so first my remodeling before the baby comes :)
This is my finished laundry room
It may not look that fancy, but it is sooo nice to have it done and not be ugly concrete floor!
Next we re did the family room. This is one of the only rooms in our whole house that has carpet and it was super nasty from the people who had the house before us... so we needed it nice so Max can crawl around on it someday!
so here is what it looked like before, lovely mint green walls, the tiny window had a lot of water damage and there were two industrial florescent lights!
Jon had to put a million screws in the stairs to make them stop squeaking.
We had to patch and sand the walls, I was not a ton of help with sanding cuz I was almost 9 months along :)
We textured the walls and it turned out AWESOME!! - this is before it was painted, notice Alex relaxing on the carpet padding. It was SOOO nasty, there was soooo much dirt under the carpet... and huge stains... and parts where it was stuck to the floor with who knows what!
You can kind of see the crown moulding that Jon fixed, the previous owners had just left the ends blunt and unfinished, so we matched it and finished it off. There was also a light at the bottom of the stairs that was a big recessed (ugly) square that we took out and patched.
Jon would cut in and I would roll the paint, we are getting pretty professional!
All painted
Up close of the texture - and the new carpet
We installed track lighting instead of the sweet flourescents.
Now all we need is furniture! The TV stand is still my cedar chest, and we have a love sac instead of a couch at this point :) We did get a really nice carpet pad, so sitting on the floor is pretty nice!
