Before and After

A while back I posted pics of the main living spaces in our house. Chase's room was the first room finished- but I keep forgetting to take a picture, and currently he is napping so his room's pics will be in a future post. We still have a lot of work to go, but we've been trucking along painting, getting new light fixtures etc. Always a work in progress right? The house was very outdated when we moved in, and I think that some other prospective buyers couldn't see past the pink, green, and beige walls, lovely wallpaper, and mint green carpet upstairs. We still haven't tackled the "purple" bathroom, but we did finally get the chance to rip up the carpet in the master bedroom. A huge thanks to my parents for taking Chase to the shore and keeping him overnight so we could get the work done, and go to our first Flyers game of the season last night!! No need for a long post. I think the before and after pictures are enough in themselves.

This is what the master looked like at our walk-through. Super hot right?

I think we asked the previous owner and our realtor at least ten times to confirm that there was hardwood throughout the upstairs.

We painted about a month ago.

4 hrs. to yank everything out. Lots and lots of staples. The floor was in near perfect condition however!!

I've always wanted to throw a carpet, or anything to be exact out of a second floor window!

The finished product. The columns give it character:)


One more small renovation...
We had a lovely pink flowered glass pendant in our breakfast nook. Not really our style. Jas walked me through the process and I wired our new pulley pendant light!




Need some help fixing stuff?
