We wanted to plan a landscaped garden in the backyard. We cut out a 12'x16' section of sod (well, Jason did) but are only using four 4' x 4' plot for now. We made add more later. We also put in a compost bin, and plan to add some flowers for decoration - possibly marigolds... Continue Reading →
We have been doing some work outside and wanted to post a few pictures to update you all on the progress. Over spring break I back-filled the front with a few yards of dirt, as it was sinking towards the house. Last weekend I put pavers for the border while J worked on the garden... Continue Reading →
This bedroom was a teal mess (similar to the bathroom). We painted it a grayish blue color that looks a lot better. Unfortunately the pictures don't do the before and after paint justice. Before (this one shows the real color): Bedroom After: Before painting we realized the paint under the window was all bubbled. We... Continue Reading →
We haven't done anything with the kitchen yet, but here are the pictures from before we moved in. We have quite a few ideas but are waiting for the time (and money) to start them. Overall the kitchen works well. The stove is small, but big enough for the two of us. There also isn't... Continue Reading →
The living room was in pretty good shape when we moved in. Aside from old outlets and the need for a fresh coat of paint, we didn't have too much we had to do. Living Room Before Living Room After Hallway Before: Hallway After:
After dinner we got back to work and finished the painting. Throughout the next week we ran into a few problems (of course) but by Friday we had the sink up and running (but leaking). Saturday we fixed the plumping and put the water lines behind the pipes. It was a tight fit but we... Continue Reading →
Before After: This is going to be a big post as the bathroom was our biggest project so far. It started the day after we moved in when my dad and I tore out the sliding glass door on the shower. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera handy so I didn't get any pictures of... Continue Reading →
All of the doors in our house were old wood doors with push locks. Not the kind where you push the button (those were too new for this house) but the kind where you push the entire knob in and turn to lock the door.Locked: Unlocked:Something about this just does not seem secure, especially since this...

We have yet to landscape (that is a project for next year) but we did spend a little time updating the outside. The house seemed to be too light - there were white doors, white windows, and white gutters, and light gray siding. We thought it needed something to pop a bit. We had thought... Continue Reading →
Before After Try to ignore the teal drapes - they were old ones I made in IL that we put up until we had a chance to make or purchase new ones. We plan to decorate the walls and do something with the closet still. Currently, the closet is empty. It used to have a metal shelving unit like we... Continue Reading →
