House, House

Since our life the past 5 months has been all about Our House, I will continue to post pics of our improvements. The next project started the Monday after our first big project weekend (all of which you saw in the prior post). This time we hired that crap out! We were already sick of working on it! Little did we know how much more work we were going to have to do! :)

We moved from the game room to the kitchen. We were very happy with the cabinets so no changes needed there. The floor, however, was stained and needed to go. We also wanted to change the wall color too.
















We hired an excellent man for the job. Randy and his apprentice tiled the entire kitchen floor. It was an impressive feat with all the corners and edges he had to do!
























































We also hired a great woman for the painting! THANKS SO MUCH MOM!!! :) Sorry we could only pay you in LOVE!! :)

















Once the tile was dry we moved in our new appliances (stove was a little late but we survived).

















Then next project was the living room. The former owners had some wild taste in paint color. There's a fireplace in this picture. Can you see it?? Our contractor Randy made fun of the lights, saying they had to be taken directly from Studio 54.

















Hey! There's the fireplace!

















Macho man Randy and his helper painted the entire living room. I'm so glad it was them and not us.




















































After all the painting was done, we moved all our furniture in and hung up the tv.... two feet too high. We later fixed it.
Brian was LOVING his new house, as you can tell.

















A VERY SPECIAL THANKS goes to all of the people who helped us do all of this. Mom and Dad, Tom and Cyndi, Brandon and Adam, Randy and helper: all of this wouldn't have been possible without you guys!!!
