before + mid-after's...

welcome to our humble abode. above is the doggie door. i'm so excited about this feature in the house. kaia is loving it, but fin is still a bit unsure.

aric on the front porch! this yellow chair WILL NOT be staying outside, much to his dismay!

kaia in the backyard, loving her big girl house!

fin doing what she does best, sniff everything!

the girls. you can see the garage/shed in the background. we won't use it to park cars, just to store stuff!

view of the backyard again. you can see the globe lights aric put up! can't wait to have our first outside party!


my desk - re-painted! i will post a before + after on that later!

this is a view looking into the basement

basement before

storage area

our cool old furnace, that doesn't work anymore. our house was built in 1918! how cool is that!


more storage. eventually this will be covered with some sort of curtain or fabric. but this is where i will store my christmas decorations!


yeah for a washer + dryer! finally! and more storage. love!

view from the kitchen looking at the back door


ledge on the way down to the basement. this will get cleared off! note - my old oklahoma license plate! anybody got an idea on how to display that? i've got 2 of them!


storage storage tons of storage!

mini bar in the foreground. we will repaint - be on the lookout for the before + after on that piece!


omg. we have a lot of work to do down here. but this is the office area {to the right}

aric's desk area

"friends" quote anyone?


LIVING ROOM
i love this built in shelf!


tv area before

other side of the living room - will be library / reading area

AND MID-AFTER
aric bought a couch yesterday, and it will be delivered this saturday, so it will go where the b+w couch is right now. the black table and cherry wood coffee table will go on the other side of the room with the houndstooth couch, and the black coffee table will be converted into a bench / folding area in the basement!


yeah - my tv fits. i was a bit worried! excuse all the cords. we are still in the process of getting it all put up. must wait for directv man!


tv room as of now...

built in shelf with crap thrown up there in no rhyme or reason. perhaps that will be a project for this weekend!

other side of the living room with random bookcase, tools and the dog beds! this is where the houndstooth couch & cherry wood coffee table will go. oh, and the yellow chair - once it gets upholstered!

finny this morning!

THE KITCHEN - BEFORE


those switchplates have to go - and they are everywhere! AHHHH!


AND AFTER...

dog station!
our cute lab leash holder - our first housewarming gift from aunt b & uncle jeff!




THE GUEST ROOM...BEFORE
this is in the basement, but still really cool to see out to the backyard!
love the built ins - and this HUGE closet!

AND AFTER!

i can't get rid of this! i've had it my entire life!


oh hey, aric on the front of the newspaper a couple of years ago!


aric made the room a bit masculine with christmas lights and his electric guitar! tv equipped with a nintendo + sega!! woohoo!


DINING ROOM...BEFORE
love the red wall!

aric & mykah moving stuff in!
DINING ROOM...MID AFTER!
the guitar will be moved out, and we are converting an old dresser into a bar that will go on the wall. again, be on the look out for that before + after. those glass vases will go on either side of the bar, holding corks in one and beer caps in the other.

THE BEDROOM...BEFORE


THE BEDROOM...MID AFTER {more pics to come}

this is actually just outside of our bedroom. it wouldn't fit in our room, and i think it looks cute out here!

my nightstand, with our first project hanging above. saw it in pottery barn, and made it ourselves for much less $$$!


aric's dresser {knobs still need to be painted} and my jewelry station!

aric installed a hanging light in the closet! genious + handy


hanging lantern again

THE BATHROOM...BEFORE
so much storage, i don't know what to do with myself! i love this problem!





AND AFTER!




chocolate lab soap!
