Our Last Address!

We bought our first house! Jordan always steps in right when I say that to correctly state that we bought our retirement house! We shall see my dear :) We love it, it has exactly everything we had listed on our checklist of things we wanted in a house. The most obvious though is the view! We are up on a hill and while it is a BEAST to mow, we are thrilled to wake up every morning to this view!
House Before: Badly in need of a new roof, landscaping and TLC

A billion dollars and a new roof later - Perfection! We are so excited :)
We all Chipped in a little....


Michaela's Room Before: The only wonderful quality were the french doors - which we kept

Michaela's Room After: New Paint, New carpet, New bed and Waala!

Heidi's Room Before: Brown Carpet with dog Pee on it and the paint speaks for itself....

Heidi's Room After: New paint, carpet and removal of closet doors

Master Bedroom Before: Orange Walls, Brown Carpet and wait for it.......
CARPET in the bathroom!!!

Master Bedroom After: Grey Carpet, White walls with Yellow Accent and wait for it......

Skylight and TILE in the bathroom! (Walkin Closet is behind the mirrors to the right)

Guest Bedroom Before: Check out that Paint job!!!
Guest Bedroom After: My Craft room! There is a bed to my left - daybed with trundle so there is Plenty-0-room for all of you!!

There is no before of the man cave but it was purple as well with Pee Carpet :) It's not unpacked at all but if I don't post it now then I never will get around to it! This is where Jordan has his desk, guitars and work out stuff.
Play Room Before: White Carpet with White walls. To the right is the entry way and behind me is where my dining room table is and behind right is the kitchen.
Play Room now: Yes, just now. I do clean this up, but seriously why? It honestly looks like this at the end of each day and so that is what you get a picture of!!(And there is Heidi, wearing three princess Tiaras!)
Entry Before: Playroom to the right, to the left is the living room
Entryway After: Cool bench with a story for another day!

Just gotta send home that it was PURPLE.

And Since some people wanna know..(Hi Michelle!) Through that open door is the laundry and all thr way through that door is the 1/2 bath. To the right of the washer/dryer is the garage door. On the other side of the table is the play room.
Kitchen Blinds to come :)

Wow!!!!! What an incredibly beautiful house! It's HUGE! Love all that you did to it!

I looked on the back of all the letters of that sign and couldn't find a thing to give you! So sorry! If only I'd kept the box! You reminded me that I need to change the pictures now that we've had another child for over a year now! :)

Violet said...
