Almost one year......The Befores

Almost to our one year anniversary of buying our home. I can't believe that it has already been that long! Check out some of our before photos.

Left to right: 1. The lovely spare room. This room sports throw-up carpet, real wood paneling in less than pristine condition, blue and pink floral wallpaper and light blue curtains. 2. Going down the stairs to the basement. There wasn't carpet on the stairs so they were painted a bright salmon like color. The paneling on the wall was pink and the turquoise carpet. 3. Mia's room had red carpet from the 60's and shiny floral paper. 4. Peeling the paper. The vinyl layer came up easily but the rest, not so much. 5. "Master bedroom". Using the term loosely. Dark green and light green with a floral border and lace curtains. 6. The kitchen nook. Blue carpet, blue walls and blue plaid wallpaper. The curtains are handmade and therefore, they were sweet to me. Not enough to not pull them out though. 7. Boys bedroom. Jake was mortified when I told him that this was his room. It was pink and blue sponge paint with another floral border, pink silky homemade curtains and blue carpet that practically disintegrated when we pulled them out. 8. The basement. Turquoise carpet, pink trim and fireplace, country basket wallpaper and three different types of paneling. 9. My sister Teryn getting creative with her ladder. You can't see that she is standing on the paint cans. She's working on scrubbing off all of those layers of paper.
