After....still so much to do!

Happy One Year House Anniversary!
We are still grateful for our home. It has slowly transformed into feeling more like a home than a house. Some after pictures but I realized that I didn't have pictures of all of the stuff that we have finished. Still so much to do! Both bathrooms and new kitchen flooring. New counter tops in the upstairs bathroom is a must and I would love to have them in the kitchen too. Oh, and I really, really want a dishwasher! That would be a dream!
Left to right: 1. The new wall color up the stairs. 2. The boys room - Jake's side. Refinished the hardwood floors and painted everything very neutral. I am liking there room colors - red, blue and brown. 3. Mia's refinished floors and new baseboards. The only new baseboards in the house. All the rooms need them. 4. New basement carpet and freshly painted paneling. 5. The front room. I waited to do this room for a while because I knew that it would be a huge mess. That carpet that I wanted I found at 50% off and couldn't resist. It looks as good as I hoped it would! 6. Mia's room. Very pink, but a good pink I think. Oh, and the desk is still, uh, 1/2 painted. 7. Basement family room all done! 8. The "new" kitchen table. I need to move the basket on the wall still since it's not centered anymore. 9. My favorite layer of wallpaper from the kitchen.

Sharmyn's on a roll with funny comments! I love your home, it is so fun! I am totally in love with your kids' playroom. (Even though Easton has a knack for falling out of it!)

Wow! You have done so much in just a year! No wonder you haven't finished the bunny from Simple Gifts To Stitch! And, with three kids to boot! I'm impressed!
