House Update!!

Remember our before pictures? Well, our afters are starting to take shape!! Most notably, Steven has ripped up all the flooring in the front entry, kitchen, living room, laundry room, and all 3 bathrooms. Whew! It only took 2 days to get up the flooring and another 2 days to strip the floors down to the concrete. Steven worked SO HARD and he's a complete all-star. I, on the other hand, have taped one room to paint (so far it's about 80% primed) and shampooed the carpet in two rooms. In addition to this, Steven replaced our backdoor this weekend. It had a lot of weather damage and we even found a few worms on the floor after a recent rain - ick!!

So, here are some pictures of our tile work - it looks so good!!

This is the view from the living room to the front entry. We decided to extend the front entry tile all the way to the living room for a more cohesive feeling. Eventually, we're going to replace the front two rooms with wood floors, but for now the carpet stays. We are putting wood floors in the living room though - it's going to look so good!

You can really see the tile better in this picture (and the beautiful concrete floor in the living room). The door that Steven replaced in on the right. Steven's friend Steven (from high school) helped with that part! They just got in contact again and (other) Steven offered to help us with the house... and we took him up on it! They saved us over $200 by installing the door themselves, and it looks great! What a deal!

I'll continue to post pictures as our after takes shape. I am having way too much fun planning this house out and Steven is doing a great job bringing it to life! We had Cale's guys do the tile installation, but Steven and Cale are going to do the upstairs tile work together. Steven is becoming quite the handyman! It's so great to have a husband who is willing to learn and indulge all my home improvement desires!
