Catching up... the rest of the house

And to finished off the long list of remodeling that got completed in less then 6 weeks (David and I both realized how very much you can get done if you just focus, buckle down, and do it!)....

Almost the entire house got a paint job.  Either some serious touch up, or an actual roll it on paint job. 

 Here is the boys room.  We sadly covered up the camolauge that adorned their walls for years, and opted for a plain forest green instead.
 The girls room got completely redone.  It is amazing how hard three little girls are on a room.  Skimcoat, paint, and this cute lavender wall (picked out by Betsy!)  It turned out really cute.  (Oh, and you see those open suitcases?  Yes, that is what we lived out of for over a month...)
 The closed in carport.  It got patched, painted and updated fixtures.  And this is the only shot I have of the new carpet.  We had brand new beautiful carpet installed in all three bedrooms and in this room.  Oh, and you can kind of see the epoxy floor in the laundry room in this picture!
And unfortunatly this is the best picture I can find of the master bedroom.  It also got a complete face lift.  We patched, painted, and even installed brand new blinds.  This room matched the carpet beautifully.
The barewood shelf was installed in the kitchen.  When we remodeled the kitchen a few years back, a hole was left between the two upper cabinets.  Finally finished, but photographed before the paint got on.  It looks better then I imagined it would.  In fact, everything that Mathan did turned out better then I imagined!

And the last big project we did was replace the windows in our family room bay area.  The sliding door had been replaced, the the two side windows were still the original 1980ish windows.  So, we ordered them.  And they came in.  And they were the wrong size!  We ordered 5 foot, and they delivered 6 foot!  So, David and Mathan spent an afternoon, reframing and setting the two windows.  I must not have taken a picture of them, but it was a huge project and deserves mention. 

The other random things that got done were too many to mention.  Lots of grunt work in the front, side and backyards.  The shed cleared out, two large dump runs (we had A LOT of stuff!), and lots of small things that added up into a beautiful fully remodeled home.  THANK YOU to my gracious father in law, Quince, my very talented brother in law Mathan, and to my siblings Heather, Heidi, Justin and brother in law Jacob, for your talents and help too!  David and I are so grateful for your kindness, support and help in our time of need!  We love you!
