Before & Afters

This is BY FAR my favorite part.  The Before & Afters.  It is so rewarding to see your "vision" actually take shape and when your flipping houses....its sorta what keeps you going.  The idea of flipping is great...but its those long hours, trips to the store, making lists etc...that can really dampen your spirit and add to a lack of motivation.
We are just over three weeks into our flip...and its already showing signs that we are making progress.  Our primary focus when we moved in was to get the boys rooms ready...so that they would have their own "space" while we continued working on the house.  Well...their rooms are almost complete...and they both look SO GOOD!  Here's a little preview...


Avery's Room..  Before

Avery's Room... After


The Hubster says that he wants me to post MORE pics...so here are a few shots of the madness that took place while we were transforming this room.
P.S.  Just in case its hard to tell...this is what we've done so far:  tore down wallpaper, sanded walls, primed walls, painted walls, painted stripes, hung new fan (light), spray painted vents, painted closet, changed outlets from black to white...and put the crib back together. Unpacking of boxes is in progress :)
P.S.S. If you notice the light fixture in the corner, don't be alarmed. It's coming down...eventually...we just disconnected it this weekend...and plan on reusing that light in the foyer.  OH..and WHO STINKIN knows why the previous owner hung the lights in the CORNER?!?! 
Okay..so now you can see some more pics.....Enjoy!


After we had finished de-wallpapering....is that a word?!

Rhiannon and I...tearing down more wallpaper. She.is.the.best!

Austin & Uncle AJ...priming the walls

Liz & AJ...helping us out!  LOVE them!

New Carpet. ahhhhh. If only you could FEEL how soft it is :)
So, there you have it. Avery's room...almost complete. Austin's before & after's are next....

Living the Blessed Life,
