House Projects

New Curtains

New curtains and we moved this bookcase down from the den (which is now a playroom instead) We decided to have our attic finished. I don't have any before pictures of the attic, but basically it was only accessable through a pull down ladder in our garage, had no walls or floors, etc. Here are the after pictures. You now can get into the 187 sq. feet of space from a door in our master bedroom. We had them divide it into two separate rooms. The first room is part workout room and part office. Here's the workout part with the door going into the back room which will be a large walk in closet.

Here's the office part

Here's the view from our bedroom wall looking in

Once we finished the attic, we decided to do some work to our super boring kitchen. Here are the before pictures.

Boring tile backsplash, no curtains, laminate floors...

And here are the after pics!

New mosaic tile backsplash, curtains, artwork, and most importantly our new hardwoods!! I've been wanting to redo these floors for 3 1/2 years!! Here's Connor "helping" hang the new curtains.

the giant new faucet

One more thing...we got a new washer and dryer (how exciting, right?)

Here's the before picture:

Here's the after! I love them. I realize I'm a dork.

That's it for now. Now that we started all these projects, our project list keeps growing. Who knows what will be next!!

UW Visit

Connor & Nick and the Burke Museum. He was scared the whole time...little chicken. I guess those giant dinosaurs were pretty big...

Last weekend, we went up to Seattle for the day to visit my dad. He took us on a walking tour of UW. It was perfect timing because the cherry trees were in full bloom! Beautiful!! After our long walk, we went out for pizza with "Papa" as Connor calls him.
