Before and Afters

MOVE THAT BUS!
I love makeover shows because of the before and afters. We can finally share a few of ours:

Family Room:

Projects included: removing carpet, draperies with valance, iron stove in fireplace, and built-in bookcase to the right of the fireplace (so electrician could wire up TV). Sanding and refinishing wood floors, patching cracks in ceiling and walls, and painting it all (Annie).

Dining Room

Projects included: removing carpet, bi-fold doors, & sconces; sanding and refinishing wood floors, patching cracks in ceiling and walls, installing pendant light fixture (a relic from the church Mike was baptized in) and painting it all (Annie).

Master Bedroom:

Projects included: removing carpet, wallpaper (with help from Mamma & Papa Garland), draperies, & fan; sanding and refinishing wood floors, patching cracks in ceiling and walls, installing new fan, and painting it all in a delicious greeny blue (Annie).

Guest Bedroom:

Projects included: removing carpet (with help from Mamma & Papa Garland), draperies, & fan; sanding and refinishing wood floors, patching cracks in ceiling and walls, bleaching a old moldy portion of the closet, and painting it all (Annie).

Oh my goodness there is so much more to do. Next project is the roof, so that Mike doesn't have to tar it again (we haven't had any leaks since!):

We're going to leave this project to the professionals.
