Home Improvement!!!!

I feel like one of those TV shows where they come in and totally renovate your house except we're the ones doing all of the renovating! If you want to see before and after pic's check out my facebook, I got tired of trying to do that twice! Hope you enjoy the picture tour!

Here's Dan's part of the house! He asked if he could do what he wanted
with the basement and so he has turned it into another
guest room with a Roman theme! It's pretty cool! He's got some neat ideas!

He painted the floor to make it look like marble!
The floor drain now has a gold painted cover on it as well!

Sterling helping Dan paint the window's! Dan painted the pillars as well!
He's pretty talented! They are made out of cardboard!

Here's the painting in progress!

Here it is before the marble look!

The floor in the study!

This used to be the room with the icky trim!
It is now our mocha room! :-) I can't wait to get a coffee
scented candle to burn in here! This is our guest room and study
so it will be nice and cozy for visitors!

I'm not sure what happened to this picture,
but it's the study from inside the closet!


Marcus's Room! It will be decorated in Minnesota Vikings stuff!
Shh. . . don't tell my dad . . . ( a Green Bay Packers Fan!)

Still needs some touch up on the trim, but it's almost done!

The closet and windows


The pretty window in the master bedroom!
From inside the closet. We are still going to do one more coat of red on this wall!

Looking towards the hallway!

The living room, looking from the dining room!

These floors just shine! :-)

Dan laying the underlayment!

Dan's friend, Sterling, helping!

And there you have it! An update on the house! There is way more detailed stuff on my facebook, so check it out there. We are no where near done, but are hoping to move in this Monday! I'd like to make it resemble a home a little bit just so that we can be ready for when Marcus decides to come! Time is flying by so fast! I sure hope we can get it all done before then!

Well, both of my sisters have commented, so I really have no choice. Haha! J/K! ;) I really love the way your house looks now! I'm so glad the 'mocha room' will be the guest room...it would be my room of choice when I come to visit you. ;)

I can't wait for you to be all moved in and your house all set up and for Marcus to come!!! :D God has blessed you and Daniel so much! Love you!
