Okay, here it is – the before and after pictures. I now consider myself quite knowledgeable in:
plumbing
plastering
painting.
Who knew?
As I walk through the beautiful clean house with the gleaming hardwood floors and newly painted walls, I hardly recognize the place! We took up the wall-to-wall carpet, which has hidden the hardwood floors for over 50 years. We also stripped the wallpaper and painted the walls. I was disappointed to see the electric blue shag rug in my bedroom go by the wayside.
Nothing too deep this week, I have been immersed in home improvements. Enjoy the before and after pictures.

Nice job! We’re in the process of doing the same with two, yes two, of Tim’s mom’s properties. Seeing the before brought back a lot of fond memories.

Hi Ginny,
Knowing how stressful doing one house is, I can’t imagine doing two properties!
I thought you would enjoy the before pictures. Do you remember the electric blue shag rug that was in my bedroom?

Hi Jet,
It looks like a totally different house. And all we did was paint, strip wallpaper and expose the hardwood floors.

Hi Bea,
Yes I did. 🙂 Seeing the house in shambles, I wondered what the “after” would be like. It was well worth the wait!

Dear friend Ralph,
That sounds about right! Although, I think I will take a nap instead. I haven’t really slept since these home renovations have started and I am starting to feel the effects of no sleep. 🙂

Hi Mr. Ken,
I hope so . . . I tried to keep the “spirit” of the house.
