The Living Room

The Living Room Series



Empty


With new paint, then new carpet



Put together.
The bookcase is a bit bare and the picture frames are empty....but you get the idea. :)

Kids' Bathroom

Before & After

The Basement Laundry

For some reason, when they built this house, they put the laundry hook-ups right in the middle of the basement. (The place that will someday be our fabulous great room (/theater/game & play room). So it became necessary to move the hook-ups to a different part of the basement. We put some plans together and found our best option was to create a utility/laundry room in the back corner. It's not ideal, but it's better than having it in the middle of the room. Here's a few pictures of the progress.




Original hook-ups are the white pipe stuff sticking out on the left side.






Original Utility Area.



This is the hole in the concrete they jack-hammered to connect the laundry pipes to the main stack.





Someday we'll add drywall, cabinets, a door, and flooring....but for now, this is it.

Here's a couple pics of the carpet, before & after. We did not like the minty green. :)

The House - The Lawn

There's so much to do with this lawn, so many weeds to defeat. Here it is after its first mowing...and some more weeding.



Don't laugh at our mower, we love it. :)
