Another House Update

I forgot to post the before pictures on my last house update.

Here was the sun room:

Papaw did these built-ins. He did a fabulous job! It added so much storage and it looks great. Mom made the cushion.


Another Craigslist purchase. This hutch holds all our everyday dishes and our coffee bar.


Mom spray-painted the stools and the dog food can. Don't they look good? I ordered a plantation shutter for the window but it hasn't come in yet.


It is small but it works. Someday, far far away, we would like to gut the kitchen and start over.


Papaw put in this shelf over the fridge. This is my baking corner. The piece of marble is for my baking as tile counters don't do very well with dough. ;)

office after:
Bookshelves are from a local store that sells only real wood furniture, no veneers or particleboard. LOVE them. Piano was purchased off Craigslist. We loved the upright at our old house, but it went out of tune very quickly and it was so heavy to move.


My secretary is from a local flea market. The Gent's desk was purchased on Craigslist for $140!! Mom recovered the chairs. The rug was in our guest room at the old house.


Love the light fixture:

New tv! Now we just need to find time to watch it. The cabinet was $100 on Craigslist. It holds games, movies, etc.

The sofa is from Pottery Barn and was my only furniture splurge. The cushions are down and they are so comfortable. The fabric is super easy to clean. I love this piece and it was definitely worth it. Mom recovered the chair - it used to be a red stripe and was in our family room at the old house. It looks amazing now! The round end table is on loan from Mom and Dad. The ottomans are from Target and hold blankets and Annie's toys. Eventually we plan to build bookcases to go on either side of the passage into the dining room.


The house is looking so good! We installed white wood blinds on all the windows and the new interior paint colors are perfect. A few more little projects left in the play room, guest room, and hall bath, and then that will be the last of the house tour pictures! The outside is being repainted next week, we are going to install a new hot water heater (ours doesn't even have enough hot water for one person to shower. it is starting to get cold outside and cold showers are no fun!), and the Gent and my uncle are going to rewire the electricity. Other than that, we are just about finished for now. Or, out of money. :)
