First Home Remodel


Here is the house that we bought in December in perfect village. Well, these pictures are long due. I was really holding them on because I wanted to have the finished product to showcase along side with other images from the start. Well 4 months later. I couldn't wait longer.


Fast forward 4 months later, here is what we did to the exterior. We bought some hollies and other plants to dress up the front of the house. We spent all day gardening today. Nice to be out after long months of winter.


Steph's design. We reuse some rocks for the border. By the way that is one big Holly tree there. Have no idea how long it has been there.


Here is our original kitchen. Definitely needs some updating. So here goes. Our plan is to have granite tops, tiled floor, updating cabinet doors, painting, new sink....and much much more.


Okay here is Matthew and I tearing down the kitchen.



It was not as hard as I thought but still it was time consuming.


Here is the floor after some tiling job. Much better!!!


So here is what we have so far. It took us three months to get here. Well, not bad for our first time. Well obviously it isn't done yet. But more pictures will come. Just a couple of more doors and drawers to put on and picking out our back splash tiles, we will be done.
