November 7 marked the 1-year anniversary for Colby and me being in our beautiful new home! Is that even possible?! This past year has flown by, and we've already made so many wonderful memories here. As I have time, I'd like to share each of the rooms in our house, before and after pics chronologically. Today, join me if you will, in the living room. Enjoy! And oh, by the way, I took A LOT of pics during the demolition and rebuilding of our house. But this house really is amazing! A total transformation!
 |
| Hideous, filthy carpet. Ugly, dingy wallpaper. This wall was completely removed to open up the floor plan. |
|
|
 |
| The previous owner "fixed" the huge leak in the ceiling by adding a drop ceiling. Shaking my head. |
 |
| Demo begins! Carpet ripped up. Drop ceiling removed. Wallpaper torn off the walls. |
 |
| Plaster and lath, lath and plaster. Obviously we were waiting on the dumpster delivery at this stage. |
 |
| Demo day! Knocked out the ceiling. This is upstairs looking down into the living room at the hardworking family and friends below removing more plastic and lath, and lath and plaster. |
 |
| Demo'ed. Debris removed. Ready for rebuilding. |
 |
| Spray foam insulation. And the beautiful fireplace! |
 |
| Drywalling begins. Told you this was all well documented! ha. |
 |
| More drywalling. Doors waiting to be hung. Tile waiting to be tiled. |
 |
| Gorgeous paint colors! Still love the Bleeker Beige and Composed colors we chose. |
 |
| Seriously, doesn't look like the same house, does it!? |
|
 |
| And I still love the beautiful hardwood floors we chose, although they sure aren't easy to keep clean. I should invest in Swifter stock. |
 |
| All brand new! And spacious! And beautiful! Ready to move in! |
 |
| 2016 was our first Thanksgiving in our new house. We had 18 guests and room for everyone. Colby and I are definitely blessed beyond belief! |
