Living Room Makeover

Well, it seems that Chad and I have officially started a tradition of doing something to fix up the house EVERY two years. Four years ago, we painted the outside of our house and got new living room and dining room furniture. Two years ago, we put in our pool, bought all new patio furniture, and tiled the bathrooms. This year it was decided that it was the carpet that needed to be replaced. Then, we decided that we should paint BEFORE we got new carpet while all of the furniture was moved out. Chad and I spent last weekend painting the living room and hallway, the new carpet was installed on Tuesday, and then we decided that the new pain looked so good that we should paint the entry way and dining room too. Here are some before and after pictures....


I especially love our new wall of crosses in our living room. It looks great with our southwestern style.

Here are close ups of the ugly old carpet and the new carpet...

Finally, here are the before and after pictures of the entryway and dining room.

I just wish the pictures did our hard work justice.

In the past year, we have painted the kitchen, boys bathroom, both boys bedrooms, the hallway, the living room, entryway, and dining room. That only leaves our bedroom and bathroom. I can't wait to get it done, but we have decided to wait until Chad finishes all of his traveling. He will be gone 21 days in June and early July.
