Let's Take a Look INSIDE...

Alright, here we go!

Here are some of the "before" photos of the inside...

Our Pumpkin-Orange living room...looks the same at the moment, minus the saloon doors and plants, plus our fabulous furniture :)  This looks like it will be our Labor Day weekend project...the carpet is yucky and smells like smoke, so we're eager to get it out of here.  Still working on a less offensive color choice, and figuring out carpet vs hardwood.
We're also going to get rid of the wooden slats that are in the entry, although there is a little monkey girl who might be extremely disappointed.

And then we have the kitchen and dining room, also unchanged thus far.  We spent forever putting new shelf paper in the cabinets and filling them with all our stuff...at least now we're getting to cook in our kitchen!







All three bedrooms are done - painted, which is a huge relief.  Ethan's room is grey, the spare room is yellow, and .  We got free paint at the Last Chance Merchantile, so we just went for it.
Here is the "before":

Look at all the awful smoke stains!!  We're so glad to have them covered.... I'll take photos of the new rooms soon.  They're filling up quickly, and we're getting all of our stuff sorted and out of the garage.  Speaking of all our stuff...here's a look at what our living room looked like when we hauled all our stuff in from the apartment...
We had so much help from my parents and Sachi and Ethan...even Asia pitched in.  We were covered in paint and dust, but we got so much done, and just before I had to go back to work. 

Ethan and Casey built an awesome fence to keep the dogs away from the kitties.  It's working quite well.  So to close out my post for today...kitties :)





More later ~ our internet is all hooked up, so I can actually keep up with this business.

LOVE, JESS
