Progress Report

We've lived in our fixer-upper for 2 full months now. Here are lots and lots of Before and After pictures of the improvements we've made. Mostly paint, floors, new blinds, and taking out a couple walls.
 This is a "Progress Report" which means we are not quite DONE with anything yet.

Living Room:

{Dusty Drapes and Blinds went in the Trash, Walls Color= Martha Stewart "Sea Anenome," New Laminate Floors with Carpet insert, Bamboo Shades}  

Living Room and Entry:

Opposite View:

Handy Andy put the tv above the fireplace. I know it's not beautiful, but it was the best place for it. We are going to make it look more "built-in" looking, hide the cords, and make the fireplace look pretty by adding a mantle and glass tile.

Entry Way/Angled Wall Removal:

{Painted recessed lights. Wall color=Martha Stewart "Seaglass"}

Living/Dining Room Wall Removal= OUR FAVORITE IMPOVEMENT

WE STILL HAVEN'T FOUND A LIGHT FIXTURE WE LOVE.

Dining Area Wall Removal View:

{Jonny Howells knocked down the wall. HUGE improvement. Need light fixture. Chairs are in process of being painted. Have our eye on this new Dining Table (Ikea Ingatorp in White)

Kitchen:

{Cabinets needed 4 coats of paint (Behr Semi-gloss Bright White) Added knobs, Paint=Colorplace: Sparkling Yellow Shimmer), Added Drawer Liners, and Grandma Kaye cleaned our countertops so they shine.}

Hallway:

{You needed to see the filthy carpet to fully appreciate what an improvement this is. I painted the cabinets, trim, doors, recessed lights white. The walls were painted Colorplace: }

{I found this on clearance at Ross. $25! I know it's kinda weird, but I LOVE it. Painted the mat white and Frame Green. Mat and Frame were both black before.}

Guest Bathroom:

{Improvements: Ceiling Paint(Martha Stewart "Seaglass"), Walls(White), Light Fixture, New Toilet}
