Office- DURING

Here's the office without the carpet.

Here's the new wall color.  It's BM Airway.  I love it!  The color is still growing on Matt.

Here's Matt's Mom painting the closet.

Here it is with the 2nd coat.

Closet is finished!

Doors are hung.  Just the knobs have to be put back on now.

The new carpet looks soo good in this room!

The room is almost complete.  I picked up these curtains at Walmart.  It really helps complete the room.

Entry Way & Stairs- DURING

We ripped all the carpet out from the stairs & the 2nd floor.  There were lots of spots from doggy accidents.  Once we pulled the carpet out, the smell got even worse.  Lots of bleach later, the smell & the stains are gone... just waiting for the new carpet now.  The carpet's being installed on Monday. 

*The carpet got delayed... boo.  I guess it'll be installed on Thursday now.

This is the top of the stairs.  You can see where we bleached in the bedroom.  It came out great.  No more stains & no more smell.

Here it is painted with BM Natural Element.  Oooh, I just love it!!

Here's the top of the stairs.  This is still BM Natural Element.  I love the subtle green in it.

The carpet man was supposed to install the rug yesterday.  This is what he did so far :(

Here's the carpet man, installing the carpet.  It looks really gray in this picture.  In person, the rug is both brown & gray.

Front Porch- BEFORE

This is a view from our front porch.  I'll have to take a better picture from another angle.  The seller left that stool.  We've been using it as a step stool to paint.

Upstairs Bath- BEFORE

This is what the bathroom looked like on Closing Day.  I'm planning on, changing out the knobs on the vanity, framing the mirror and painting.

Our new toilet is hopefully going to be installed this week.  This toilet is just as gross as the one in the 1/2 bath.  That's also a black, plastic blind in the window.

Office- BEFORE

This is what the Office looked like on closing day. 

Laundry Room- BEFORE

The previous owner had this nasty contraption going on in the laundry room.  Her washing machine was not strong enough to pump the water out properly.  So.. she had the water drain into a trash bucket, then had a sump pump drain the water out.  But... the problem was that she didn't drain the water.  The dirty water sat there for who knows how long & it smelled sooo gross.  It stunk up the basement as soon as you started down the stairs.  Thankfully, that's out of there now & the basements smelling better.

Here's the nasty bucket.

There's the sump pump.  That white wall was the one with the tiny bit of mold on it.  Once we cleaned it up, it's been dry & mold free ever since.

Basement- BEFORE

This past spring, we had A LOT of flooding in our area.  Our unit had a very tiny puddle in the corner that was mop-able.  Some of the other units in the complex had much more water in their basements.  So the association decided to gut & redo everyone's basement at no cost to the homeowner.  Yippie!  They are replacing the walls, carpet, ceiling, electrical, windows and doors.  Currently, they're still working on the basement but it looks great so far.  They still have to replace the carpet, finish the ceiling and some of the electrical is still unfinished.

The doors have all been replaced & everything has been painted white.

Those are our ceiling tiles in the box.

I love all the light that comes in.  The slider & window makes such a difference.
