Well, we have finished the remodeling in our new house...for the most part. There are still more things we want to do, but the major renovations are over. We were able to have a housewarming party this weekend, and it was a lot of fun. Our camera taker for the party failed miserably, so we don't have any pictures of the actual party, but I took some pictures of the house.
My new kitchen!!! This is my absolute favorite room in the house...and the biggest party of the renovation. It was so worth the wait. I love cooking here and I absolutely love every inch of it.
My mom also helped decorate our kitchen. She brought a lot of fun things to put up above the cabinets, and it really helped it to look more personal, and more like a home.
We also got all new stainless steel appliances. We found them all on craigslist...our favorite store...and got an oven/range, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge, all for $750. A steal of a deal.
Our countertops are granite tile. We were going to go with laminate, but ended up choosing the granite for a slight price difference. It was well worth the money.
This is looking into the kitchen from the dining room...by opening up the wall, it makes our house look bigger, and it allows us to visit with friends even if we are in the kitchen.
A view from the dining room into the kitchen...this used to be a solid wall, but Jeff and his brother knocked it down and created a bar height pony wall so you can see into the kitchen...I absolutely love it.
Our dining room...we were given this dining set by Jeff's parents. We eventually want to get something a little smaller...probably a dark wood table that seats 6 instead of 8.
A view of dining/living/front room. This is what you see when you first walk in the house. We have a beautiful picture of the San Diego Temple on our table which my mom gave us. She bought it at Costco...I am still amazed at the things you can get at Costco.
Our living room...we still need to get a new coffee table...one that is preferrably not lime green.
We love our fireplace and can't wait until winter when we can test it out. I also love the mantle because there is so much room to put pictures on. Eventually we might change the brick, but for now we are grateful to have one.
We still have the same T.V. We eventually want to get one that can mount on the wall to save space, but that is something for later down the road.
Guest bedroom
Guest bed...we still need to get some bedroom furniture for this room, but for now the mattress is just on the floor. Eventually, this will be a great baby room. :)
Guest bedroom entry from the living room.
Guest bedroom shelf and currently our piano is in there.
Our guest bathroom.
Guest bathroom toilet and storage shelf.
Guest bathroom vanity and mirror.
A view of the guest bathroom. I still need to do some decorating, and definitely get new towels...it looks like Halloween in there.
Behind the bi-fold doors is our washer and dryer. We used to have to go to the garage to do laundry...it is so convenient having it in the house now. There is also a linen closet which is great for extra storage.
This used to be used as a wet bar...now Jeff converted it to a laundry room with a linen closet
Our master bedroom...we still have to paint and decorate a little more, but for now we like it and are excited to finish it.
We recently got our bed set and we love it. We also got 2 sofa chairs to go in our room. They are really comfy, we just need to recover them.
Jeff also recently put blinds in...we used to have a beach towel as a curtain.
My mom bought us the two pictures to go above our nightstands...she has a great eye for decorations. Now we just need to add a picture to go directly above our bed.
Alexandra put me in charge of the dessert...and Jessica asked me to bring the chocolate fountain. There is nothing quite like a preganant woman eating chocolate...
