So I finally got around to taking some pictures of our new house!
I would have done it sooner but sometimes with a 1 year old it's hard to keep things clean....
I thought I'd do some before and after pictures so you can see the difference
Here's what it looked like from the outside before we moved it from Brooks.
 |
| Here's our house on wheels. And yes I do know how red neck that sounds.... |
 |
| Here it is out on the farm! |
 |
| Hopefully we'll plant some grass next summer...Cooper sure doesn't mind all the dirt though. |
 |
| This is the Living Room before... |
 |
| And this is it after. |
You can't really tell but the ceiling before had a popcorn texture on it. Matt wasn't too fond of it so we scraped it off, retextured, and painted all the ceilings. It was A LOT of work and I may have complained just a smidge during the process. But I really like how they turned out. And I know it looks a little funny with no picture in the frame, but one day I'll get around to printing our family pictures off.....
 |
| This is a dresser that I refinished into an entertainment centre just before we moved in. I love that it hides all our DVDs from Cooper. |
 |
| This is Cooper's room before. We weren't really crazy about the color... |
 |
| So we painted it before we moved in. |
 |
| We also put a new window in and put up most of the trim. |
 |
| This is what the guest bedroom looked like before. I'm pretty sure they let their kids pick the paint for their rooms.... |
 |
| This room isn't quite organized yet, but I like the color a lot better. So far it's a craft/sewing/guest room that has Cooper's big boy bed in it hence the John Deere bedding. |
 |
| Cooper's bathroom before. |
 |
| And after. We really didn't have to do a whole lot with this room. |
 |
| This is the kitchen before |
 |
| And after. We put up some new back splash |
 |
| And we found this great table at the Brick a few weeks before we moved! It's nice to not be so squished around such a small table anymore. |
 |
| Here's the computer desk before... |
 |
| We put the same back splash up here. Just a heads up for anyone doing renos, probably make sure you have enough to finish the job before you start. We ran out 1/2 way through and it was a huge headache to find some more. Oops... |
 |
| Here's the back entrance/laundry room before. |
 |
| The previous owners had some very bold color choices. |
 |
| And after. |
 |
| I would have loved to have painted back here, but I was a little sick of paint by the time we got to this room. |
 |
| The Master Bedroom before |
As you can see to the left of the bathroom doorway is a very large window.
Before we moved in there was not 1 but 2 of these windows so you could clearly see into the bathroom.
So the previous owners figured they may as well take the bathroom door off too since it wasn't doing much good anyways.
We have yet to put a bathroom door up, but luckily I married a very handy man who, after some complaints, fixed our window dilemma.
 |
| This is our bedroom now. |
 |
| See, no more windows!!! |
 |
| This is the ensuite before |
 |
| And here it is after a little paint.... |
 |
| And some new tile. |
It was really hard to leave Welling, but we feel so blessed to be able to move on to this new stage in our lives.
