Before Pics of the House





So I promised I would post pics of the house. Here are a few of our work in progress. We really have done a lot of work on the place. To begin with it was built in the 70's -need I say more? It had popcorn texture on the ceilings and faux Styrofoam beams in the front room. The texture on the walls was different in every room which was quite interesting,but even more interesting was the pallet of colors the previous owners had chosen. If you can tell each room is painted in a pastel color with a primary color version of that same color example: the room Brooke claimed as hers was pink with a very bright red accent wall. The saddest thing we discovered about the house was that the paint colors were chosen in this decade. So there you have it our kitchen should be in by the end of this month and when we are as close to done as possible I will post the after pics! Should be FUN!

If that paint alone, was that bad, I can see why you would want to do some work on the house. It looks cute though. I am excited that it will be done soon! Thanks for the pictures! We love you guys!

Thanks for blogging pictures. It looks like it will be a fun house. You have lots of cupboards in the kitchen. It will be fun to see what you do with it all. You shouldn't have told us. I was looking at it with Ang and said, "Look, cool beams."

I can't wait to see what you have done to "Schneiders" old home. If you promise to let me in, I won't tell Brooke all the secrets of the house.
Also, thank you Dustin for validating my good taste in eye wear! Those Frenchies know a think or two about fashion.
Send my love to the kiddos...and give yourselves a hug the Stenersen gang.
