Home Remodeling The First Year

September marks our one year anniversary owning this 90s ranch, so I thought it was about time to give you guys a proper tour. You can see images of our home the first time we walked through it here.

Family Room:
First up is the family room. I cannot believe this is the one room I somehow missed getting proper before pictures! Just imaging an empty room with dingy white walls and wall to wall red carpeting. Here are a couple of images from the relator listing:

We painted every room in our home a fresh coat of “Alpaca” gray by Sherwin Williams in a satin finish. Also new flooring throughout the house (everywhere but the two bathrooms) in Montgomery Apple Wood Plank. One of the strangest features of our home was a door in the corner of the family room that led into the master bedroom. We removed the door to add more wall space for a large sectional and to have some privacy in the master bedroom.

 

Dining Room:

Kitchen:

Living Room:

As you can see below the room is still pretty bare, but now has a fresh coat of paint and new flooring. We hope to one day bring down the wall that separates this room from the kitchen to open up the space and make this room more usable.
Master Bedroom:

Master Bathroom:

Hallway:

Guest Bathroom:

 

 




Office/Walk-In Closet:

 


Deck:

Laundry Room/Pantry:

 

We’ve made a little bit of progress over the past year, but we still have a long way to go…
Sources:
Family room: sectional, sheep skin, desk, antlers
Kitchen: rug and bar stools
Bathrooms: white cabinet paint
Hallway: rug
Deck: chairs, seat cushions, and table
paint and flooring

My Mother’s Day started at 4am with a nursing baby My Mother’s Day started at 4am with a nursing baby in my arms, a toddler crawling into my bed and falling asleep on my shoulder, & a doggie sleeping across my legs. 💕 They have no idea what today is, but I’m feeling so blessed to be surrounded by all my babies on Mother’s Day 👶🐶👧 Even if it was at 4am 🥱

Not pictured our dog Sydney. 🐶 I’m so tired I didn’t even notice until after we got these pictures 🤪 I knew I was forgetting something! 🙈

After laboring at home for 2 hours we JUST made it to the hospital maybe 45 minutes before he came out with 2 quick pushes! It all happened so fast my head is still spinning. 🥹 

So thankful my SIL @thedivinemissem77 answered her phone and came quickly to stay with Audrey & my hubby @npbrady9 taking care of everything else as we rushed to the hospital. ♥️ God is so good & we couldn’t be happier with the newest member of our family 🤗
