I like it because its bold and fun, but kinda relaxing at the same time!

[gwenshack]

That looks AWESOME Jeanne!! :toast:

[FFC]

NICE!!! It looks great Jeanne!!

[f77g4]

[MrsDM]

Thanks guys! I'm really happy with the way it turned out!!

[Nekochanpurr]

Oh my goodness that looks nice!

[uhmanduh728]

that does look amazing.. want to come do mine next? ha ha

[WBandMe]

That looks wonderful, Jeanne! (And I am SO jealous of all your cabinet space! We've only got a fraction of that!)

[MrsDM]

LOL Sure! It only took me over a year to be satisfied with mine, I could only hope to have yours done in the same time! ;)

That looks wonderful, Jeanne! (And I am SO jealous of all your cabinet space! We've only got a fraction of that!)

Thanks! Believe it or not, they are all filled too! :whoa:

[savepaws]

It looks great!! I really like that color.

[NOTKT]

That kitchen looks AMAZING! :) Great job!

[Danielle9608]

It looks great Jeanne!!

[Docsgirl]

That color is awesome! It compliments everything so well! :D

[amisteratwisterandme]

Love the color and OH My, Niko has grown

[MrsDM]

Love the color and OH My, Niko has grown

Thanks, Jan! I know, its sad! Hes just a few days shy of 9 months and he weighs 65lbs! Hes still a puppy, but doesn't look a thing like it!

I should probably update his journal too! :)

[FFC]

I should probably update his journal too! :)

I was just going to suggest that hehe.

[MrsDM]

Ok so I took some pictures to show everyone where we are at in our house! Obviously, the kitchen is pretty much done. But, here is our master bedroom:

To the left of the picture, I have my dresser and to the right of the picture is our closet.

Next is our office. This will also become our baby's room when we decide to have kids because of the storage system.

I just need to get some more yellow storage totes/bins and a yellow valance for this room. The desk to the left that you see is Dan's gaming computer and I think he is moving all of that downstairs so I'll bring in a bookshelf to put there from our guest bedroom.

TO BE CONTINUED...

[MrsDM]

Here is the living room and what we've done to the living room:

And lastly - our biggest accomplishment thus far. The landscaping:

We still need to get the light post in the front planting bed (that is empty) as well as plants. We also are planning on getting new garage doors and a new front door which will hopefully finish it all up! We're kinda on hold because well, that all is a lot of money! LOL

[Ninedays9]

It's all looking very lovely! Looks like your hard work is paying off, :).

[Danielle9608]

Wow Jeanne you and Dan have been busy!! It looks so awesome!

[WBandMe]

Your house looks beautiful! I can't believe how much you improved the master bedroom-WOW!

[f77g4]

Wow - it looks great Jeanne!

I can't get over the size of your yard!

[MrsDM]

Thanks everyone! Ashley, we are just under one acre of land. Our front yard feels like it, the backyard doesn't yet, but we're working on it! Its so open with no trees!

I'm on rental land in a mini home park so we really have no yard at all so your yard seems huge.

[Tadswife]

WOW!! Everything looks spectacular! NIce job! I love, love the landscape! You are more then welcome to come on over and decorate my home..! It looks like your a kohl's shopper, I have noticed many items in your house from there..:)

[FFC]

I love how you've modernized the place. Getting rid of the railing and putting a half wall was a great idea! I wanna do that in my kitchen. Can I borrow Dan for a weekend??? Pleeeeeeeze???!!! :hearts: LOL

[Docsgirl]

I love your house. It looks so warm and inviting!

[mitch]

Wow it's a totally different house. Looks fab.

Makes me want to get up and paint something here now. So many things to do but no energy or funds to start and finish it through.

[anirow]

Master bedroom looks a little spacious,bathroom is gorgeous and landscaping is breath taking.

In all a outstanding work!

[MrsDM]

Thanks everyone!! Our next plan is to get the hot tub outside. I think I might have mentioned this before, but our original plan was to build our deck this year and get our hot tub outside. We are still getting the hot tub outside (this is actually our next project), but are going to hold off on the deck and sprucing up our backyard. Instead of the deck, we are going to get new garage doors and a new front door. The backyard is something not a lot of people see, and our front yard is what people see when they drive by the house and is somebody's first impression. So I'll be updating more, I'm sure!

Sounds like you guys got it all mapped out - sounds GREAT!

SWEET! Another great plan LOL!

[Dani]

Your home is beautiful and so tidy!!! i love your taste! (and Niko looks like he is your shadow as well. :) )

[MrsDM]

Ok ladies!! We finished the bathroom tonight! Well, we need to get the door on and finish up some caulking, but as far as I'm concerned, we're done! lol

For those who don't know, we started remodeling our main bathroom mid-February. The bathroom hasn't been re-done since it was built in the early 80's. It was gross and blah. We decided to do this bathroom versus the master due to the fact that this is the bathroom everyone uses when they come over. I want it to be nice.

Here are the before pictures:

When we moved in:

Then we "temporarily" updated it to get by..

The bathtub is 20" deep..LOVE! Obviously haven't been able to test it out yet, but I cannot wait!

I'm so excited how it turned out. It was excatly what I wanted and the tile work is awesome! The color on the walls is not exactly what I wanted though - it is gray, but it seems that it sends off a green hue. Not a bad hue, I still like it, but just not exactly what the swatch looked like!

I'm super proud of us. DH of course did the majority of the work, but I was there cutting, assisting and of course to demo! :)

[dearmissie]

Wow, the first photo didn't look bad. I thought THAT was it all finished!! Haha!! Stop teasing, show us the finished product!!

[gwenshack]

It did look great before, but WOW - you guys did a great job. Enjoy soaking in your new tub! :)

[dearmissie]

Scratch that-- Once I posted I saw you just posted too!! And wow hun, just wow!! I love the new bathroom and the colors!! Fabulous!! It's absolutely gorgeous!! Enjoy the new bath, all of your guys hard work def. paid off!! Wahoo!!

[dearmissie]

BTW is that black or brown as the frame of your bath (so not the right words, but the thingy holding where the sliding glass is)??

[Ninedays9]

It looks really nice! I can see why you're happy with it, :).

[MrsDM]

Thanks everyone! :)

[Nekochanpurr]

WOW!! That looks amazing!! :D Like a pro's job! BTW: Want your bath tub!!! Mine is all dinky and stuff. lol

[brendalin]

You must be so happy to have that project done and crossed off of your list! And, it turned out great! Nice job hun!!! Love it!

[f77g4]

Great job Jeanne!

You put my bathroom renos last year to shame! LOL

[Danielle9608]

WOW this looks awesome! Congrats on finally being done!

[amisteratwisterandme]

Such a classic bathroom. Congratulations on getting it finished!

[savepaws]

It's beautiful! You guys did a great job! I wish I had a deep tub like that!

[MrsDM]

Thanks everyone! It does feel great to have it done! The tub we had before was 14" deep, barely enough to "soak", so I cannot wait to dive into that baby and relax!!

[Salayia]

I'm surprised you haven't already!!! I would've! ;)

[MrsDM]

I'm surprised you haven't already!!! I would've! ;)

I would have, but we still need to caulk between the tub and the tile (we ran out), so I can't go in it in case the water will seep through. It is driving me nuts!

[mitch]

I'd be in the Bath while the tiling was still going up. :laugh2:

How long is the Bath? It looks short to me. Or might be the camera angle.

[MrsDM]

Its 60" long, so 5 feet. Its a standard size here in the states. I wish we could have gone bigger, but just didn't have the room!

[mitch]

That made me go and measure ours. Wow Brit houses maybe four times smaller but we get 5 more inches in the Bath. ;)

Your Bathroom looks lush though. Like something from a magazine.

[pinkbride]

oh your bathroom is divine! I love it, I loved it in the beginning before it was even decorated and now it just looks lovely!

Mitch I might have to measure my bath now because my bathroom is TINY... *goes to look for the tape measure*...
