Flip That House

We are now settled into our new house. If you have ever seen the show "Flip That House," you will appreciate this blog. Here is the before and after shots.

Ok this is the front with the newly trimmed bushes, thanks dad!

Front room before. (I had to work around the red carpet)

After. I painted that picture to try and match the room. The room is now a light brown.


I didn't really do this in order but this is the 2nd bedroom before. Wall paper!!!!!!

After (Marcy it's callin your name)


This is the closet in that room, I have been using it as my craft room. Sad.

Our bedroom before.

After



The backyard. I forgot to take a picture of the nice grill thanks to Mickey and Margaret.


At night. We sit out here every night.

This is the kitchen, with the nasty chandelier.
The new and improved chandelier.

I guess I forgot to take a picture of the kitchen before, but it was just white. We also put in a microwave and faucet, check it out. I have such a handy husband.

This is just the view from upstairs.

Living Room before. It was yellow.


After
This is the same room.


Downstairs bathroom. Carpet and purple walls.

Blue paint and tile. Our friend Kevin helped Drew with that.


Downstairs bedroom/office. Wall paper took 4-5 hours.

After
Our new washer and dryer, courtesy of my mom and dad.
And last but not least our new kitten!!! Bella. She is tiny and precious. Yes I used to hate cats, but after living with Drew's family this summer (they have a kitten and a cat) I bonded with them.

It has been a busy last few weeks, but things seem to be settling down now. We only have one big project left and that is the upstairs bathroom tile, but we will see when that is going to happen.

I have to tell everyone that Kristen vision was amazing. She saw the color scheme with the furniture and everything. Everything looks great. Now we just need guests to come and grace us with their presence.

Bella is a tiny little kitten. She has warmed up to us but doesn't like to cuddle much yet. Lets just say that Kristen loves her already.

Love the new house! So much space. I bet you love it. I can't say that I agree with your decision to get a cat (and not a dog) but I bet I'll warm up to her. She just better be good with babies for when we come over!

Yay! I love the house, duh :) and I LOVE the location! You really did well! Bella is cute, and I hope she is warming up to both of you. Soon she can warm up to me, I'll allow that

Dang girl! You've got talent!

PERFECT! You've done a fabulous job and I know from experience how much WORK that all took. Totally worth it, though. Beware because you're always going to have some small improvement project brewing in your mind. It's addicting. And, sister, your painting! Awesome! I love it and wish to hire you someday to do something that cool for me. :) Congrats on the newest addition to your family. Max loves cats and I will love to let him visit yours. :) Love you and Drew. Can't wait to see the house in person!
