Home Makeover

We've been wanting to get hardwood floors in our house for quite some time.  Since we have had kids the carpet has just gotten so dirty with stuff being spilled on it and after getting it professionally cleaned time and time again, it was just on it's last leg!  We finally decided it was time to pull the trigger and just do it.  Once we got the hardwood done, we realized we would need to have painters out to paint the extra piece of molding they put down when they removed the carpet.  Since they were coming out, we decided to have them paint a few of our other rooms too.  Both Shawn and I were over all the colors we put in our house 6 years ago and decided it was time to go a little more neutral.  Several of you have asked to see the final product so here goes. 

Here are the before pics (take a couple years ago). . .

And here are the after pics. . .

We took the leaf out of the dining room table and the furniture fits so much better in the room!  I'm in search of a new runner for the table though. 

We're really happy with how everything turned out.  I love how the off white lightens up the front rooms and almost makes the rooms look bigger.

And here's 1 last look at the before and after, side by side.

This was our first major house project since we did the backyard several years ago.   We still have a to do list a mile long, but it was nice to get another one crossed off the list!
