Before and After Pictures!

So I'm back. It's been a long, lonely weekend without an internet connection--one of the evils of getting a new house. Of course we didn't think to call super early to get them to come install internet. So we went a WEEK without it. A week! They are SUPPOSED to come today around 3:00--let's see if that happens. But it's Utah Broadband, not Comcast, so maybe they will actually show up. We'll see. Anyway, I thought I'd post a few before and after pictures of my house! Some of you have already seen the before pictures, but on Saturday I cleaned my house from top to bottom and then took pictures! Yes, I'm so proud. Every box is unpacked except for the "junk box" in the computer room--you know, the one you throw everything in that you aren't sure what to do with. Well, we don't know where to put it in our new house either. So it's still sitting there, laughing at me. Anyway, here we go!




Thi is the Laundry room/Bathroom. Not much different except we painted the walls and added our NEW AWESEOME WASHER AND DRYER! We got them on KSL. Front loaders, energy savers, LG Tromm's for $1,000 total! SUCH a deal! They are SO amazing to use!





This is the tumor. Yes, we are still planning to tear it off. But it might be as long as summer before we can. So we painted it. As you can see, Tarzan likes it. He's the only one. Doesn't look so bad now, but it's still ugly as sin from the outside!





This is room we call the "great room" (it sounds so cool when you call it that) As you can see we totally repainted it. And boy was it a pain in the butt! But it sure made a difference! Can't wait to replace those pendant light with something a little less 80's though...




And here's the LOVELY living room! No furniture really for it yet, but doesn't that red wall look freakin' awesome?? Cindy did a fabulous job taping it off so the lines are perfect. man, what a pain that is!





And last the kitchen. Of course we're getting a new kitchen in a few months so it will look much better, but even tearing off the ugly green border and painting it made a world of difference.


So that's my house! We're having an openhouse on Saturday from 4:00 - 8:00 so feel free to stop by!

Are you kidding?! 4:00? That's when the Utah/BYU game starts. I really want to come but this is a HUGE game this year...I'll drop by after though. And I'll bring your chopper too! You'll have to email me your address again. Ididn't write it down.

It looks great Megan. YOu guys did a great job. Uhm...yes I would love to come too. However Lisa is right it is the BYU and Utah game and my obsessed husband is wants be there early. So sorry but I do want and need to come over to give you back your costume.

I'll be coming. I might even be convinced to bring a batch of my 'should be famous' salsa and some chips.

Hope you finish painting that awful upstairs bathroom before then! (hint- if you finish up my Christmas Card, I will paint while you do it).
