Our house

We have had some requests for pictures of our remodeled house. So for your viewing pleasure here you go. First of all, last night, Lauren, Will, and Jordan completely dismantled the kids' bedroom in about 15 minutes flat. Of course it wasn't completely clean in the first place, but they trashed it. We put the bead board up and painted the walls yellow and replaced the carpet that you can't even see.
I think a tornado went through here.
This is our room. It originally had lime green carpet and peach colored, padded, satin fabric walls. This room needed the most work. There were tons of staples in the walls and there is a lot of molding. Matt worked really hard. The mirrors are all closets and behind the chair there are 6 dresser drawers.
Here's the kitchen/dining room. The dining room used to be carpeted and the kitchen had linoleum. We repainted and put in new floors. The door on the right goes into the backyard and the door on the left goes into the garage.
Here is the kitchen from the opposite angle. The doorway you see goes into the laundry room and a half bath pictured below.
This room used to be peach colored and had fabric on the lower walls that you can't see. It also had carpet that we replaced with tile.
I just finished making that bag Will's holding. It's my new baby bag. Isn't it cute?
Here's the front room. It also had carpet that was mauve and the walls were a gray color. The brick was gray as well. Matt restained the wood floor that was under the carpet. We repainted the walls and the brick. That door goes into the dining room.
Opposite angle of the same room. The door is the front door.
Here's the 'main' bathroom. It was also carpeted and had wallpaper on all the walls and ceiling. So we ripped that out and textured, painted, and tiled the floor. The tub and sink tile was also white with pink dots so we repainted that with an epoxy so it's just white now.
Here's our bedroom again, opposite wall. There is tons of storage in our room and beautiful built ins and molding.
These archways used to be curvy looking with the fabric attached to it. Matt cut them straight and put the archway into it. Then he built the wood to put over them to give in a column look. Painting this room was really hard because of all the molding, but it turned out really nice. We love our bedroom. We have a basement too that's finished, but I'll save that for another time.

Holy cow it doesn't even look like the same place. Didn't they have carpet on the walls?

It is looking great. Great job!
Isn't it amazing how fast kids can totally trash a room?!
