The Foyer/Stairs:
Most of the house had been painted a neutral off-white before we moved in, one exception was the downstairs foyer, stairs, and upstairs hallway which was all painted a not so pretty bright yellow. There was also this really old, really ugly pine cone carpeting going up the stairs. We ripped up the carpet, had the stairs refinished, and then painted everything. So happy with how it has turned out!
I never took a before picture of the stairs, but here's one of the boys from a long time ago that at least shows the ugly carpet.
Phase 1: Ripping up the carpeting and refinishing the tops of the stairs.
Phase 2: Painting everything. I'm really loving the color we chose for the walls, its called French White by Benjamin Moore.
Phase 3: Our family picture wall. Connor helping me hang with his (plastic) hammer.
Still need a couple more frames.
Phase 4 (Future): we'll put in another carpet runner on the stairs, and also a small table in the foyer.
Downstairs Bathroom:
I think the pictures speak for themselves:
After (picture taken awhile back, belly was still small and cute then)
Andrew did everything himself, he rocks!! Taking down the old wallpaper border, sanding, repainting, installing the new sink/vanity, faucets and mirror from home depot, even the rewiring of the new light fixture (my stepdad helped with this too). Just need some pictures up on the walls and we'll be finished!
Current house projects include the nursery, Connor's room, and our bedroom. We're trying to get all finished before the baby arrives. Here's Connor "helping" Andrew do some taping of the bedroom walls tonight.
And lastly, here's Connor in his Home Depot apron that he got at a kids workshop Andrew took him to this past weekend. He likes to wear it around when we're doing projects!
