Grand Reveal!

Patience has never been one of my strong suits, in fact, it's taken every fiber of my being to calm down and be patient with the house remodeling. Needless to say, I couldn't wait until Thursday, took a load of things to the house last night and snapped the much anticipated "after" photos of the kitchen and new bathroom. Enjoy!

Here are the "after" photos of our new kitchen. This is the dining room portion, we added hardwood floors, track lighting, low lighting, rugs, stainless steel appliances and a bistro theme!

Here's the actual kitchen part, I love how the paint turned out here and the new appliances are going to be amazing. Greg's mom, Paula helped a lot by adding contact paper to the cabinets, Greg's uncle, Greg helped us with all of the electrical work and Greg's dad....welll...let's just say the floor and appliances wouldn't be there without a hevty amount of his sweat. I cleaned like a mad woman. Again, and again.

Gotta love that new floor!

Ever onward, here are the pictures of the new bathroom. We actually found the design scheme in a paint swatch sample packet and feel in love with it in the aisles of Home Depot. This was by far the hardest project to date in the house, and is now, of course our pride and joy. This is the full bath. Here, we ripped out the lanolium, bathtub, old tub tiles, painted this pretty blue color, added tiles, a new vanity, marble double sinks, sliding glass shower door, new shower sides, new tub and all new hardware. I love this room!
Here's a good view of the new countertop, vanity and floor. This blue looks better in person, but you get the idea!
Beautiful new vanity and flooring.




You can see the new shower doors and trim Greg worked so hard on. It's been cool to see how similar our tastes are during this whole process too.

Last, but definately not least, here's the newly redone walk-in closet in the master bedroom. This is going to be amazing. Especially since the close alone is bigger than the bathroom in my current apartment!

So after all this work, what's the next project you ask? Well, here's the current living room...you tell me:)


More to come,

Nicole
