House Updates....It has been awhile

So we know we probably bore you with our house updates and the pictures when we are really the only ones that care, but just in case one of you out there gets into home improvement here are some of the updates we have made and/or things we are working on.

The kitchen before....

The kitchen after....(although the floor is still in the works, we are peeling off the linoleum and refinishing the hard wood underneath, but is testing our patience.......
The bathroom and closet in the bedroom upstairs are still a work in progress. Here is a before.....
Here are a few current photos....
Crazy huh - Jon went upstairs one day with a sledge hammer and the bathroom was history.....now he has been working hard to build it back up. He is doing such a great job!!! I love having a handy husband!!

Here are other pictures of our living room and dining room in the present state..
Our house will always be a work in progress, but we have enjoyed seeing the positive changes so far and look forward to all that is ahead!!

Holy crap! Your house is soooo freaking beautiful! And Jon... way to go with the sledge hammer! Don't forget to wear your hammer pants when working with a hammer!

Happy Friday!

Glad you guys like the changes! Thanks for your nice comments. I am still laughing that jenni noticed the coffee pot. We actually got it for free when we bought coffee beans! ahahaha - it is not that great. Yes we did get a new couch. We never really liked our old one and so we put it on craigslist for nearly what we paid for it and someone made us a great offer so we took it and got a new one. We heart craigslist!!

Thanks for posting updates. We love to see the house stuff. The living room looks awesome. Really mod. The kitchen is great, I'm sure it's a relief to have that done. And Sam was just asking how the bathroom was coming. Looks like there is lots of progress being made. We will start our bathroom work soon and then we can share bathroom remodel stories :-)
