Finished Kitchen!

The kitchen is done! We were going to put crown up on top of the cabinets, but after Jake put one piece up we decided we like it better without.

Here is the before pictures, what the kitchen looked like back in June:








And here is the kitchen now! We ended up gutting it down to the studs, and starting from scratch. You can't see the lights in the before shots, but it was one box florescent light that we swapped out for some pot lights, and then re-designed the layout of the cabinets, adding an island in.







I am really happy with how it turned out! There isn't anything that I would change, and my favorite part is the big greenhouse window (which was there before, we just re-finished it) looking out onto the backyard.

Moved in and Liam's bedroom finished!

We are all moved in now! Well, at least all our stuff is here and we are living in the house. Moving day went really smoothly, a huge thanks to all the people that came out to help! By eleven everything had been moved over and brought into the house, and by the early afternoon much of it was already unpacked. I am really excited to post some before and after pictures of each room of the house. I still am amazed at how quickly it all went, three weeks and the house was ready!

I don't want to share pictures of each room until they are all finished, and we seem to be waiting on just a few things for each room. The kitchen needs the backslash and two cupboard doors, the family room is waiting on one light, the master bedroom still needs a light, and the bathroom needs a few minor things like a shower curtain. The only room completely finished is Liam's bedroom, so I will share some pictures of that.


I didn't get a good before picture of Liam's room, but it was mainly a face lift that was needed. New paint, doors, base board, two of the walls had some 60's paneling that needed to come off, new carpet and a new light. I am really happy with the finished room, its perfect for a little boy, and he seems to like that he can go to it on his own to play. In our old place his bedroom was downstairs so it was really only used for sleeping in.

I will hopefully be finished another room soon and post again in a day or two with some good before and after pictures.
