Ahhh I breath a sigh of releif as I look around at what has been a long process, but boy is it beautiful! There is still more to be done, but my house is beautiful. Not so clean or organized but to me it's very lived in and did I mention beautiful!? I'm just so happy!
John's schedule at work changed on March 1st. He now works 5 days a week, his shift varying between 7-4, 8-5 and 9-6. Before the change the other therapist owe'd John an extra day off and so he took a 3rd day and spent Tues-Thurs putting the finishing touches on our home. He had a March 1st deadline (that he gave himself) to get everything done...on the main level inside the house. :) There's always something to work on isn't there? It's what a homeowner does.
He worked hard and I'm proud to say doors are painted and hung, trim is painted and hung, all the windows are framed in and all but the 3 kitchen are painted and we bought our 1st blinds (that aren't paper/temporary) since moving in almost 6 years ago and hung them. I no longer live in a fishbowl.
Upon finishing this window John made the comment to McKenna
we'd been wanting to change the trim and the curtains
on this window since the day we moved in.
We've come a long way baby!
The only thing left is carpeting the stairs, a couple of drawer & cupboard fronts in the kitchen and fixing trim upstairs and in the bathroom. Then it's the personal touches in the way of decorating.
Thank You John and all the many friends and family who have helped to create such a beautiful place to live!

Thanks for the inside look at your home! It's gorgeous. GREAT JOB!
WOW!!! I can't believe that is the same house. I am dying to see it in person. amazing!
It is beautiful! Way to go John. My dad looks back at all his never-ending remodeling he did when we were kids, and he wonders how he ever did it while working and through callings, etc.. good job!
Looks wonderful . . . you are a very PATIENT wife! I especially liked my little angels on your mantel . . you're so sweet:)
wow, looks so awesome...i did't see the before but it looks great, so clean & fresh.
LOVE all the finishing touches and the white trim is my favorite..so classic and traditional...gives me some good ideas when/if we design or remodel our future home! You both have such great taste!!
From your uncle Scott...
Looks Great, but can't see much of the kitchen and cabinet work!
I'm in the 95% of completion with my project and tell people that you were my inspiration to do the cabinet work myself. You were correct...it a'int that hard if you have the right equipment.
We arw all "well pleased" with your work. Good on Ya!!
Stunning! I visited and do not recognize your house!!! Your husband is a talented man! Give him a hug from me! Job well done!
