Sneaky Peeky

Our house is still not done. Ack!!! It’s getting close though. When people ask us what we’ve done to our house and we respond “everything” I wonder what they think. It’s pretty accurate though. We have honestly changed everything within reason.

We started with a plan and a  budget and pretty much stuck to the plan, although we did add a few things along the way. This is what we did:

Outside-

New front and side landscaping including new trees in the park strip

Re-plastered stairs

New lighting, front door, handle set, and doorbell (our new entry door makes me so happy!)

084

Fence with arbor

Inside-

New baseboards, crown molding, door, and window trim

088089

Batten board in entry and master bedroom

081

Bead board in laundry, master bath, and Caitlin’s bedroom

090

Shelf, side panels, and crown on cabinets

074

Cabinet hardware

073

Shelving

Kitchen backsplash

092

Three-tone paint and painted cabinets (I wanted bright, light and happy. I think we got just what I hoped for)

All new flooring (so, so happy to be rid of ugly tile and apartment grade carpet)

079

All new lighting, including many new cans (I love my lights! We went with some really cute school house style flush mounts and pendants)

075077

New bathroom mirrors

085

Plantation shutters (I know this sounds dramatic, but I never, ever, ever want to live in another house without shutters. I love them!)

097

Still to do-

Furnish this place!

095096

Bathroom faucets

Patio

Resurface stairs, porch, and driveway

Paint porch columns, door and window trim

Backyard landscaping with fire pit

Your color scheme does not surprise me at all! Hope to see it in person some day soon...we are talking about a trip to Utah in 2013.
