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!)
Fence with arbor
Inside-
New baseboards, crown molding, door, and window trim
Batten board in entry and master bedroom
Bead board in laundry, master bath, and Caitlin’s bedroom
Shelf, side panels, and crown on cabinets
Cabinet hardware
Shelving
Kitchen backsplash
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)
All new lighting, including many new cans (I love my lights! We went with some really cute school house style flush mounts and pendants)
New bathroom mirrors
Plantation shutters (I know this sounds dramatic, but I never, ever, ever want to live in another house without shutters. I love them!)
Still to do-
Furnish this place!
Bathroom faucets
Patio
Resurface stairs, porch, and driveway
Paint porch columns, door and window trim
Backyard landscaping with fire pit

Love it all! Especially the front door. Can't wait to see everything. Good work.
It is beautiful! When's the open house/party.
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.
Looking good! Cant wait to see the whole thing!
I love all of the pictures! I can bring cookies if it means I can see it in person:)
Clean, Bright, and Beautiful.
