Progress Shots!

Below is the original post of dining room and living room progress shots, PLUS the newly added "AFTERS"!!! yay!! If I ever get all of the extra furniture out of the office, those will be the next set of before & afters that will debut.  Thanks for checkin' it out!


Since we are under the gun with a contract on our house (yay!), we have been workin like crazy tryin to get the new house ready (AHH!)  Bryan has been puttin up trim like it's goin out of style (and it looks GREAT! He has become quite the trim carpenter!) and we spent 6 hours paintin all that trim last weekend....even with a dozen doors and windows open we were still high as kite by the time we finished.  We also ran out of paint (because 8 gallons wasn't enough! holy moly), and it was quite comical tryin to get the last 5 feet of the dining room painted, but WE DID IT!!!

Dining Room

Before (well, not a true before, because originally there was a wall here, so we couldn't get this shot at all, which is why there isn't a good pic of this room on the "tour")

After:

Other construction (ie, the master bath and the 4th bed/bath), is kinda at a standstill right now, since Bryan has been working like crazy trying to get the outside of the house painted.  The plan is to finish both everything inside during the winter/spring while the weather is too bad to work outside.  My goal in life is to be completely finished by the holidays next year ('13) - wish us luck!  (and pray for us - mostly because we're crazy!)
