Ch-ch-changes Part III

We've been finishing a few projects in our house lately and having a mid-summer cleaning so I thought this weekend would be a good one to do a house update like this one HERE which originated with this post HERE.  
*Before= Before we moved in. Therefore, previous owner's furniture is pictured.*

Our House Before:

After:

Took off the broken security door and have the door frame patched and painted.

Front Entry Before:

After:
Haven't done much except paint, baseboards, and add some decor


Living Room/Dining Room Before:


After:

Added accent wall trim work, curtains, paint, new furniture & rug.

Kitchen/Breakfast Nook Before:



After:


-We have changed out light fixtures above table and sink, added some trim work by desk, and recently decided to paint as part of our "Kitchen Reno: Phase One" project.

Family Room Before:



After:

-Main thing that's new to this room is that we FINALLY finished painting the cupboards of the entertainment center.  We love our built in entertainment center (& it's storage) and our updated fireplace mantle. Most of our time together is spent in this room. So we like that it's open and cozy.

Harry Potter 1/2 Bath Before:

After:
Full update covered HERE

Laundry Room Before:

Read about that update HERE

Still needs a little more polishing, but it's coming along.

  1. I LOVE your house. You have everything decorated so cute! I love your built in too. That is on our list of things we want to do soon. I love all the storage.

  2. I love the woodwork, paint, and built-in. It all looks so good (even in pictures - I'm sure it looks even better in real life.) I guess I need to make a trip down there...but I'll have to come in the winter when it isn't so blistering hot!

  3. You guys are so good at what you do! i really love the stairs and the new light fixture in the kitchen. As we walked through houses I thought, if I was Jen, how could I improve this? I wasn't super successful, we are buying new construction.
