Remodel Reveal

It has only taken a few months, but here are the before and after pics of the main level remodel.

In other big news, today is Owen's first birthday!  In honor of the big day, he is taking an early nap and the big boys are playing really well together.  A great way to start off the weekend.  :)

KITCHEN/DINING AREA, before:

AFTER: (new floors, added the raised breakfast bar, new lighting, cabinets that go to the ceiling, added the "super susan", moved the dishwasher....)

View looking in the other way, BEFORE:

AFTER: (raised breakfast bar, no more popcorn ceiling!, took out the small wall on the right)

Living Room/Fireplace, Before:

AFTER: (my parents got us a TV for Christmas... the first time we have had a TV on the main level... no more "not white" carpet)

Detail of the tile and the counters in the kitchen:

Hallway, before (got rid of the shoe thing in the hall and the cupboards at the end of the hall)

AFTER: new lighting, flooring, rug, and the new coat hanger shoe thing in the corner.

New wall hanging at the entrance:

New main bathroom.  I don't have a before picture because this was not part of the plan.  It was tiled and getting the floor out without tearing out the walls was not going to happen, so the tile got ripped out and it got drywalled and painted.... and the old sink broke when they took it out, so we ended up with a new one.....

I don't have a before picture from this angle either, but I added this shelf to somewhat hide our thermostat that is right in the middle of the wall.  Who does that?  I'm really happy with the little shelf though.  Just need to get a couple things to use to decorate it.

Long nap is over!  Off to celebrate Owen turning ONE!  :)
