Before & After #2

Welcome to our home.

Before and After #2,

the tour continues.

~~~~~*****~~~~~

Before:

This is our bathroom when we first got the keys to the house.

It was a mess and had to be fixed and in working order 

before we could move in. 

 This photo was after a week of scrubbing the tub,

it took me about two weeks to get it clean.

Also, when we pulled the walls down behind the tub

we found black mold waiting on us. 

The fun began :)

 

After:

~~~~~*****~~~~~

Before:

This is the only before photo 

that I have of the kitchen.

It was from the real estate photos.
It was also covered in dark brown paneling.

 After:
 I ran out of trim above the cabinets,

and I keep forgetting to buy another piece to finish it, LOL
Funny me :)

  We still have work that we want to do in the kitchen,

but it is okay for now.

Out in the well house I have a new faucet and a range hood still in the boxes.

We want to replace the counter tops 

and raise them up a couple of inches.  

I'm short (5'4") and they are short for me.

We also want to add a new sink.

Before:

On to the mudroom.

Same dark paneling :)

After:
I was fortunate to find two new white interior
doors at Habitat for Humanity for 3.25 each.
We used them to cover the water heater :)

Our mud room ceiling is only 7 feet tall.
All that I can think of for a light fixture is a light blub,
or my tall hubby might bump his head.
Does anyone have any suggestions? 

This is the light that was in the house,
but when it burnt out,
I couldn't replace it . . . maybe 
I wouldn't want to anyway, LOL.

   Thanks for visiting.
My next before and after will be photos 
of the things that we have been doing outside.

We feel very blessed to be living
in the country.
We are just outside of town and still close to everything,
but instead of being in a tight neighborhood
 with houses a few feet from each other,
 we now have room to stretch.
Also, instead of other homes across the street as a view, 
we now have an alfalfa field.

We are so happy that we made this move :)
