Before and After

Our trip home was all business no play! We went with a long list of to-do's and my mom and I accomplished them all!

The exterior of our home was too dark and dreary, so we brightened it up!




The back yard and deck needed serious attention! It was lookin' pretty sad---the bright blue tarp over the grill was not helping any. So, we did some heavy weeding, cleaning and staining and wow!



...plus we got rid of that blue eye sore!


Onto our master bedroom-it was just not lookin' good either. The red wasn't working since all of the accessories and personal items were removed for the sale.



After I pulled some curtains out of the closet and changed the bedspread ($11.00 at Fred's) ---much better!
It is much more sophisticated and looks more spacious!



Then, the girls room! Well, the pink was a bit much on the eyes:( So, after a gallon of paint, some bedspreads, and rearranging...


It's a little easier on the eyes and looks bigger--it's all about SF anyway!


We did some rearranging as well and cleaned the whole house-(we moved out and the bugs moved in!) We opened up the living room by removing the large cherry armoire and TV/stereo system. Now the room feels larger and has flow! Plus you can see more of the beautiful oak floors that David and I labored for 3days putting down!!!!!

We did alot of work in 5 days and we think it looks great:)
Let's just hope someone will buy it!!!
