Home renovations in progress...
Hi! As most of you know back in July we moved to N.C. Now most people from Long Island spend some time looking at houses and buy an almost brand new or custom built home when they come down here. Well because we decided to move very quickly (we were packed and gone in 6 weeks) we didn't have time to look for the dream home. But that was perfectly fine for us because we wanted to live here for a while, do some area research and see what we like. At the time we were moving my fil's girlfriend was selling her house so we decided to buy it. It meant that we didn't need to rent an apt. first and we could move into a house right away. My fil said it only needed a new coat of paint. Well I have learned not to trust fil unless I live in the year 1975. We have to do everything over, mostly because we want a clean modern home. We are almost finished with the dining room, living room, and downstairs hallway. We redid almost everything in those rooms so far, new paint, new floors, new light fixtures, and even new door knobs. I don't know how long we will be living in this particular house, probably no more than 3 or 4 years, but I want it to be my taste and my home. Anyway I thought I would share what we have done so far. Here are before and after pics of the hallway and dining room. I have also put a few more in my community folder. We still need to put pics up on the walls and the dining room needs new curtains and crown molding put up, but we are getting there. I will post pics of the living room once we get our new couches.
The first two pics are of the hallway before we moved in. The ones after that are the hallway after, including our new banister! Image Attachment(s):

Thanks everyone! We did almost everything ourselves with the help of my very handy bil. The floors we had professionally installed which was definitely a good decision because it was a lot of work.
