Phase III

As many of you know we have lived in our home for 28 years. The last time we painted was 20 years ago. To be honest the paint held up really well but it needed to be freshened up. Our home is a lot like us. Getting older. It has a few bumps & imperfections like we do as we get older. We have had leaks in the ceilings that have stained a few areas. It also has kept us safe, warm, protected. So we thought it was time to give it some TLC back.

I have been planning & thinking & re-thinking all the little details of the changes I would like to make to our home when & if we ever had the chance. Well here we are!!!! Oh don't think it is over yet we still have Phase 4 this will be taking down the rails in the living room, building up the living room floor & putting in tile & wood floors. But we are talking of NOW not 4 years from now.

WOW what a change!!!! Now most of the rooms just got a fresh coat of paint ceiling & walls. The doors & trim are now painted. New nickel hardware. New electrical outlets. The only rooms that did not get this nice update is Spikes room & the Master Bathroom. The bathrooms was done a few years ago so we though t we would save some money & wait. Spikes room, well we are waiting out his life before doing it. It will be a guest bedroom so there will be a lot of taking down shelves & removing carpet, etc...so we are waiting.
Jennifer's room got new closet doors.
The Living Room & Dining room had a lot of changes. Not only did they get a fresh coat of paint but we took down the brown beams & added new light fixtures. The Dining room also now has accent walls, no more wall paper!!
The Kitchen also received a change. No more plastic diffuser light. We have opened it up & added track lighting. This was an easy change & made such a huge difference!
The table in the kitchen received a new light.
Now for you Cary, Eric, Tommy & other tall people in the family we have changed out the ceiling fan in the Den. It is more of a flush mount style so we can all wall under it.

As I have said in the past this house holds A LOT of memories. Even now it brings back a favorite one from about 20 years ago.......the beautiful little girls walking down the hall sing......
"Don't touch the wall, uncool, don't touch the walls,uncool.......... :)
