Wood Shop turned Workout Room




No More Yellow in the Bathroom!






Alright so maybe this bathroom looks the most different. We took out some pretty, sparkly popcorn ceiling, new fixtures, new counter, sink and paint. Oh so much better!




Our Bedroom





When we first looked at this room it was set up as an office and it had a lot of popcorn ceilings. But after a lot of scrapping, painting and new carpet this room sure is nice to fall asleep in at night.




Greyson's Room




Wallpaper was everywhere in this house when we moved it. Greyson's room had it on the ceiling and this was one of my big projects. I think I smelled like vinegar and old ceiling paste of about a week, but we got it off. Of course a nice paint job and new carpet. This room is so cozy and I love sitting with Greyson reading books, oh and he loves showing off his room to everyone that comes to visit.

The Sun Room/Greyson's Room



We really like this room and when the sun is shining it's the best place to be in the entire house. Once again new carpet (thanks dad) paint, fixtures, and taking out some extra stuff. Greyson also loves this space of course.


Office/Guest Room

This is the office/guest bedroom. Stephen constructed a great desk, new carpet (thanks to my dad) and new paint. While when we moved in we thought this room needed the least amount of work, what we did seems to have changed it so much! It's a great place to study and work!


The Living Room


Alright so the living room got some new carpet, paint, no more popcorn ceilings (thanks to my incredible husband)a wood burning stove insert that heats our entire house and is so incredible to have all new light fixtures and a lot of cleaning!

Chopping Wood = Warm Home


As the cool fall winds started to blow Stephen and I knew that the fire place in our home was not very efficent or pleasant to look at. We decided to put in a wood buring stove insert. It has been incredible and we love how warm and cozy it is to sit on the couch at night and enjoy it. Most days it heats our entire house (unless it's negative 4). We set our thermostat at 60 and let the wood work.
Stephen is also my champion. He and my dad spend almost every weekend cutting wood to Greyson and I can stay warm all day long. We do really enjoy it though and it's always nice to work for your warmth.
