Repairs and Remodel Completed

Our repairs and remodel are complete; well almost, as we have just a few minor things still left to do!

 

Our bathroom has walls again!  It boasts a brand new vanity and toilet with new floors and a new paint color!  We love having our bathroom back, especially the second toilet as one toilet for a family of six was just crazy!  We had some potty dancing going on around here as someone almost always needed to go potty when someone else was already using the upstairs bathroom! (Pretty Paizy did the best potty dancing we discovered! LOL!)

 

The kitchen got new flooring and a toned down color of blue compared to its previous color!  It got new floors too!  We really are enjoying the awkward pony wall being gone!

 

With the awkward pony wall gone, our foyer has opened up a great deal, making it so much easier for our large family to enter and exit our home!  We really enjoyed having our guests being able to enter this house with more ease over the holiday weekend!  I really enjoyed that part very much!

 

Our dining room got a fresh new look too!  We had to get new floors in the dining room due to our continuous flooring, and the damage that occurred at the front of the house.  We decided to go with a new color theme too!  Also, I failed to get a picture of another decision that we made, but if you look at the blog's main picture of our dining room you can envision the new change.  On the left side of the blog picture at the top of this page, you can see a railing that separated our dining room from our living room.  Due to the new floors, that railing had to be removed, however, we decided not to put it back.  That decision has opened up our small space and has given our large family another access point into the living room, besides funneling all of us and the kids through one small opening!  I love this decision, while Scot is still trying to warm up to it; however, we have had two other house guests state that they like the decision to remove it! (And yes, there are toys on my dining room floor incase you are wondering!)

Our foyer got a fresh new look with new flooring and new paint scheme as well!  We also love love love having our coat closet and much needed storage back!  It took us about two weeks to get everything back in its place again.  We also got new master bedroom furniture (Paid for in cash! Telling you delayed gratification and money management helps!), and painted our master while we were under construction, and we did a major purge!  We took a lot of things to Goodwill!  Purging and such is a part of living in tight spaces!  Reorganizing periodically is key too!
