There's No Place Like Home

So 2010 was a big year of fixing up and selling our house. We were pretty proud of all the work we accomplished! It was a crash course on home repair that's for sure. After a year and a half of trying to get our finances in order, our house was in serious need of work. Praise God the money just kept coming in for us to do all we needed. All in all, it cost us about $12,000 to fix everything up. God provided and we paid cash for all of it!

Oh that yellow on the bathroom walls was frightening. I thought so when I painted it, but never got around to fixing it!

 This was the hideous wallpaper that was in the master bedroom when we moved in. I tried a few times to take it down and it was very difficult...so I just ignored it. Not a good plan. I don't think I have an after pic, but we got all the wallpaper down and painted a crisp off-white. It looked amazing!

I loved how this bathroom turned out! No more yellow!

This was my kitchen, just the way I want to remember it...busy!

New carpet in the whole house!

New floor in the main bathroom. We put the same floor in the kitchen and laundry room too.

Ok, so here's the biggest project of all...the Master Bathroom...yikes!

But it turned out beautifully! I did the tile work and Kris did everything else.

The house sold in 4 months, which is amazing in this market. We ended up having to pay another $17,000 to finish the sale. It could have been a lot worse. Praise God for His provision and that we did not have to go into debt to do it. I miss our house, but I'm so glad all this is over. We can look to the future now!
