Round Two

Turning our house into a home has been quiet the adventure. 

We had our first renovation back in July and are about to start our second renovation. 

This will be the last for while.

After living in the house for almost a year, little things in the house started to bother us: 

the bright turquoise walls;

 orange walls;

animals painted on the walls,

the beige walls and ceiling in our master bedroom;

the brown shag carpet in all the bedrooms and foyer.

                           

The WISH list: 

1) Redo of the first floor bathroom;

Did we NEED to renovate the bathroom? Probably not. 

Back in July, we removed a half bathroom in between our kitchen and living room. So we decided to spruced up the only full bathroom on the first floor next to the guest room. The shower was leaking so it made our decision to gut the bathroom that much easier; 

                              

2) Upgrade mudroom;

As for the mudroom, its our main entrance. Sure we have a front door but we park the cars in the garage so we figured why not make the mudroom more appealing to us.
Sorry I don't have a before photo, the mudroom had laminate flooring that looked like stone and the brown carpet on the stairs. Yuck!

3) Change out dated light fixtures
Maybe I have been watching too much HGTV but I truly believe that the right light fixtures make a room inviting. The current ones in our house were not heavy and reminiscent of a female body part.

So that past few weeks have been busy picking out tile, choosing paint colors, 

selecting tile & carpet, purchasing light fixtures and more.

            

 

Are you exhausted yet? We are too.

  I started my dream job and love it!
