What we've been up to since 2009..and many other adventures

We've been slacking on home renovations lately. Why? Because one, we're running out of money. Two, we've opened way too many projects and kind of just left them hanging. And three, I'm starting to lose all motivation to get going again. With no goals in mind, I'm just sort of at a stand-still. So, I'm taking some time to revisit the before and after photos of our house transformation in hopes that it will spark something, like a firecracker, under my butt and I'll get all my creative ideas and motivation back. If you haven't seen or heard from us in a while, this is why..

KITCHEN RE-DO

I refaced my kitchen cabinets, added a subway tile backsplash, and new flooring all while having 2 little ones under my feet. I'm very proud of this project.

OUR MUDROOM..A WORK IN PROGRESS

MASTER BEDROOM

This is our Master Bedroom at the moment. We're in the process of insulating the outer walls before winter comes, as older houses have balloon style framing a.k.a. NO INSULATION on the outer walls.

This is my soon-to-be walk in closet. I'm so excited! Every girl needs a walk in closet!

THE 3RD FLOOR

The entire floor will be for the girls and include a walk in closet, playroom, and tv room.

I fell in love with this house the moment I walked into it. I know it's hard to see past all the mess, but I have a vision beyond the ugly. Someday, my family and I won't be living in a construction site. In the meantime, we'll be pinching pennies and dreaming of better days when we can kick our feet up and enjoy our dream home.
