A Tour of Our Home: Before & After

We bought this house about a month ago. We had two weeks of overlap with our apartment, so before we moved in we did the flooring and painted. After moving in we did the lighting and a few other projects. It was a big project, but we're so happy with how it turned out and love home ownership! It's keeping us busy!

Before: Pink door. Need I say more?

After: Much improved

After: Unfortunately, the yard has taken a turn for the worst. Houston is in a terrible drought.

The entryway. We love how the wood floors turned out!

Before: To your left of the entryway is the living room

Before: The dining room

After: The music room!:) Added recessed lighting. Furniture will come later:)

Before: The family room

After: Painted and added recessed lighting. Our furniture totally does not match the new wall color,but it'll all be moved into the living room when I find a better, more comfortable couch on Craigslist:)

Before: The kitchen

After: Plus that big ol' fridge

Before: Ella's room

After: Just added furniture. I really want to hang up some fun things for her walls
Wes made this chair in his high school wood shop class. Added a few of my old stuffed animals.


Before: The bright, green master bedroom. Seriously who paints their ceiling green?!

During: Ceiling's been painted

After: Still need to touch up a few places and, of course, address the boring walls


Just some more pictures of the house:


The master bath

The master closet (so nice!)

The study

The guest bedroom (where you'll stay when you come visit!)

  5. Wow! Your house looks great! I love your paint colors! I'm so impressed you did all of that work. Your house is HUGE! I can't imagine owning a home. Sometime I'm super jealous and other times I don't think we're even close to being ready for that. Since we just had to sell my beautiful piano for lack of space in new place, I'm jealous:)
