Our New Home!

We have been in our house for about a month now and I figure its time to show you some pictures.

Our house was a fixer upper when we moved in.  We took lots of pictures before we moved in so I will show you the before and after of each room and explain what we did.  We are still not done and look forward to improving our house over the next few months and years.

Living Room-The only difference you may see is that we painted all the walls.  Some day (hopefully soon!) we will add furniture to our front room.  We love the blinds that open up and there is so much light.

Dining Room-Here's our dining room.  I don't have a before picture because it keeps getting downloaded in the wrong direction and I have not figure out how to rotate it.  There's really no difference anyway so you'll just get the after picture. 

Kitchen-As you can see, previously the kitchen had lovely wallpaper.  We chose to forgo that gorgeous decoration and paint it a plain brown.  This brown is darker than the rest of the house.  We love the color!  We also got new appliances which we love!  Sean installed all of them.  The pictures don't show it very well but the old kitchen had the old school fluorescent lighting with the plastic sheets over it.  We removed it all and put in some canned lighting.  It really opens up the kitchen and brightens it up.

Family Room-This room had no light so we had an electrician add a light in the center of the room.  Sean also added a fader button to the light so we can adjust the strength.  He switched out all the light switches to be the more flat button ones.  He's become such a handyman!  We will install a fan/light soon.  It gets hot in Valencia in the summer time so we will definitely have to do it before then!  We also switched out the light in the hallway to a more updated one.

Powder Room-This room was a nice sea foam green before.  We painted it with a nice fresh blue.  I love this blue color!  We are going to have a antique beach theme for this bathroom.  I'm excited for it!

Laundry Room-We painted this room the same blue as the powder room.  We also got new appliances which Sean installed.  It makes life so much easier when you have your own washer and dryer!  Again I don't have before pictures because its being stupid and not rotating them.

Stay tuned for the upstairs pictures . . . .
