Before and Afters

 We were hard at work last spring getting our house fixed up.  Here are some of the fun projects that we did.
This room took more than a year to figure out.  I couldn't ever find anything I liked.  During a Memorial Day sale at Macy's I found this beautiful set and decided to go for it.  I even tore apart the headboard and re-stained it.  Dad calls this room the honeymoon suite.  

The deck was falling apart when we started this project.  We ended up replacing many of these boards,   power washed it and painted it.  It looks so fantastic now.  I love it.

Here is the dining room side of the deck.  Grandpa V gave us this  really nice  BBQ grill.

Our neighbor gave us a really nice patio set that had a lot of rust on it.  We sanded off the rust and sprayed Rustoleum on all the painted surface of the four chairs and table legs.  It is a really comfy set and I love how it looks now.


The living room changed a lot after my good friend Marci and her husband Sean gave us a really nice couch, chair and ottoman.  We also removed the tree and had a family picture that I love put on canvas.  This room is a lot more comfy now!!

Don't you think home renovations are SO satisfying? Amazing how a some paint, some rearranging and a little vision goes such a long way. Great eye!
