First...this is the Kitchen before. We didn't take out the one side of cabinets as the plan is in a couple years to completely redo the kitchen and put in a dishwasher...until then...it will still have to be Wade!!! :)
Drum role please...here is the after of the kitchen!! As you can see we put in a new microwave (thanks Mom and Dad)...took out cabinets and put new ones in on the one side. You can't see it...but we cleaned all the handles and painted the inside of all the cabinets (again...thanks Mom and Dad!!!) Plus...all new windows,blinds and carpet! We also put new lighting in and a new fan. The table will go in the corner along with a new TV!!! :) Hey...I need something while I am cooking up a storm in my new kitchen. It may be small...but it is bigger than what I have had and I actually have a normal size stove!!! YEAH!!!
Now on to the living room and hallway. We didn't do a whole lot here as far as changing stuff! The before....
We did redo the walls (plaster and paint)...aka Mom and Dad...we also put in brand new windows, new blinds, new carpet and lights. We also opened up the closets.
Next come the bedrooms...here is the before of our bedroom!
Here is the after pictures...we took out the top shelving...cleaned the dresser section really well (don't think they had been cleaned in a long time!!), new windows, blinds, lights, carpet, new doors (from Idaho!!!) and opened up the closet with a light in there. I think it looks pretty awesome!!!
Whitney's room was the same as our minus the shelving unit.
And for the after...we did the same thing to hers as ours. She got all new stuff plus some really cute splatter painting my mom did as I am not good at making small splatters!!! :) However...you really can't see the splatter in the pictures!
Lastly upstairs in the bathroom...hence the whole reason for the remodel in the first place. It didn't have a shower and a window...so we had to come with some idea to fix it!!
So...we decided to take out the window in which my dad filled it in with studs and made the outside match the red siding with a beautiful red EIFS job. I will have to put pictures up of that when I do the outside. We took out the vanity as well as bought a new hot water tank...so the vent could go away and we have more shelving in the one corner...the bathroom turned out GORGEOUS!!!
Last, but not least...the basement...this is the one place where the complete look changed...but of course...I don't have pictures of it from before. However...it is nice and clean and white down there. We have a nice storage area for both stuff and food...a very nice laundry area now with shelves to fold (HOORRAAAYY...no more sharing a public laundry!!!) and huge playroom for Whitney with a nice carpet piece so she can play all she wants and not drag her toys all over the house!!! :) We plan to finish off the basement as my dad has made it completly dry!!! So in a few years...we plan to add a couple more bedrooms and another bathroom downstairs!!
It was a lot of hard work, time, money, tears, sweat and even some blood...but we are very grateful to have had the chance to make it our home before we moved in. We want to again thank my mom and dad for coming out and helping with all you did...we would never have been able to do this without you. We would also like to thank everyone else who helped us (Jeff, Christners, Ralph, Chad, Jason, Donny) for all your help in making this house our home. Please enjoy the pictures and if you are ever in Osky...stop by...we now have a little more room than before!!! :)
