This House: Our Abode For Ten Years
We tin hardly believe it, but this calendar month marks our tenth anniversary of living inwards this house.
My parents accept never moved since they married almost l years ago, therefore I ever lived inwards the same trouble solid growing up. After marrying, nosotros moved approximately a bit, but this is the longest I've ever lived inwards a trouble solid other than my childhood home. My husband's dad is a pastor, therefore they moved approximately throughout his childhood as well as our electrical flow dwelling is the 1 he's lived inwards the longest inwards his life. So, it's quite a milestone for many reasons!
As I've known this appointment was approaching, I persuasion it would last fun to part some photos amongst you lot of the progress of the trouble solid since we've owned it. We're alone the instant owners of this house, as well as the previous owners did an amazing chore of including dandy "bones", lineament materials as well as details every bit they built it, but it's almost 25 years former at nowadays therefore of course of teaching we've updated as well as changed some things to last to a greater extent than to our taste.
I'll give you lot a tour room yesteryear room of the trouble solid when nosotros moved in, some inwards betwixt photos, as well as a await at where nosotros are now. Some of the "before" photos are from the MLS listing amongst the previous owner's asset as well as aren't dandy quality, but they're proficient plenty that you lot acquire the idea. I won't tell whatsoever of these are "after" photos, because if you've read my weblog for whatsoever fourth dimension at all you lot know that things are ever changing approximately here!
The maiden of all affair nosotros did when nosotros moved inwards was to withdraw all of the carpeting as well as bleach the concrete floors (they were nasssssty... pet stains). We truly lived amongst the cement floors for near a calendar month spell nosotros worked on other things, got semi-settled, as well as decided what nosotros wanted. So, most of these "before" photos are truly messy, I wasn't blogging yet as well as evidently didn't intend near taking empty trouble solid pictures. Boy, has blogging changed my perspective on how I document life!
Alright, select grip of a imbibe as well as acquire create to scroll. There are a lot of photos inwards this post, but I won't narrate much more. I intend the photos verbalize for themselves!
EXTERIOR
Before- Green shutters as well as door, (dormant) ivy roofing left mitt forepart flowerbed as well as garage walls
After- New pigment on trim, doors, as well as shutters, novel landscaping
This was therefore interesting for me to clitoris these photos together. Most rooms ended upwardly 2 makeovers over the course of teaching of our 10 years here. I honestly believe I've been working to find MY style (not what I persuasion our house should look similar according to surface area trends or trying for a "grown up" style) as well as figure out what plant best for our family. I yet accept therefore much to learn, but it's prissy to run into how my photography has improved over the years, too.
ENTRY
DINING ROOM
LIVING ROOM
KITCHEN
Creamy glazed cabinets, enlarged island, novel counters as well as appliances, makeshift backsplash,
no wallpaper!
There are a few rooms where I stripped wallpaper as well as and therefore textured the walls. In hindsight, I form of wishing I hadn't textured some of those places therefore I could practise wallpaper now.
Crisp white cabinets, underground tile backsplash, as well as pendants added.
Lots of pendant switches! ;)
BREAKFAST NOOK
If you've followed me from the beginning, you lot mightiness call upwardly the Breakfast Nook looking similar this:
POWDER BATH
OFFICE/BONUS ROOM
MASTER BEDROOM
We removed that built inwards television cabinet on the left. It bugged me that it wasn't centered as well as nosotros didn't truly ask it for storage. Closing upwardly that wall gave us therefore many to a greater extent than article of furniture as well as blueprint options.
Did anyone else throttle on board the "Restrained Gold" pigment coloring craze? Oh my...
BOY'S ROOM
This room doesn't truly await similar this anymore, he wanted to become dorsum to a loft bed (sniff). It's been inwards limbo for a looong fourth dimension as well as is on my listing to acquire squared away when summertime starts!
GIRL'S ROOM
LAUNDRY ROOM
BACK PATIO
The trouble solid isn't the alone affair that's changed inwards 10 years (sniff sniff, boo hoo!)...
I've never shared our Master Bath which desperately needs a major overhaul, or the kids' toilet which needs a refresh. And, 1 of the rooms I did present you lot is already totally redecorated inwards my head- I'll acquire to it some day! So, there's yet plenty to practise here.
Thanks for sharing this walk downwards retention lane amongst me!
