Demo weekend!

We had alot of fun ripping up floors & peeling wallpaper this weekend. Well...I cant take any credit for it- Jeremy, my mom and one of our friends, Dan, all got to partake in the demo that kick started our first weekend as new homeowners! I contributed by making list after list of all the things we need...and the list is long! It sure does add up! But nothing is super urgent so as long as we get all the floors done and paint up then it is pretty liveable. Here are some pictures of all the fun we had.

Kitchen Before the floors were ripped out. We will eventually paint the cabinets, add new blinds, may or may not keep the island. We definitely want an island but might replace it with something else.

Kitchen after the floor was ripped out. Jeremy had to screw down the floor because it was pretty squeaky. Im so thankful he is handy. That saved us alot of money!!
Hannie heading upstairs to check our her room!

She really was excited :)
Deciding on paint! She is as indecisive as her mother!
She was such a good little helper and kept busy with lots of coloring!
This is the living room which will be the kids play room. It leads right into the family room. We LOVED the layout. We plan on painting all that dark trim to match the trim of the rest of the house.
Dining Room below. We will replace the chandelier, and re-paint under the chair rail. We are also putting wood floors in here to match the entry way and also putting wood in the kitchen. Painters start on Thursday! We got an incredible deal on the painters. They will do all the ceilings too. Couldnt beat it!
Stairs...carpet all ripped out. They were fast- couldnt get over there in time to get pictures.

Entry way...this is a picture from the realty website. I just love it. It has two coat closets and has such a warm, inviting feel.


Much more to come! We order carpet tomorrow and the wood floor guy comes. Then..onto appliances and lighting!
