Update



Ok! So the house is still a DISASTER but a lot has been getting done. It's hard for me because nothing has been done as far as painting or making it looking better so I'm getting a little bummed. But we're almost done with all the construction type stuff and painting is next! Then I'll finally be able to see some progress as far as the looking good part goes ;-)

 

These are the 4 colors we were deciding on. The top left is what I was 100 percent sure I wanted and the one I spent weeks picking out. Once we got it on the wall I hated it. So we're going with the bottom left one.

 

Here's what it looked like when we got there today. Water heater to the left.

 

And this is what it looked like later. No more water heater! We moved it into Ali's closet (picture further down) We're going to leave the chimney there, after a TON of debate. We want to eventually hook a natural gas fireplace up to it to save money. I really want to cover it in stone veneer (google it) but its super expensive so I'm trying to find another way to make it look cool. Worst case scenario we'll just sheet rock it and paint it but I want something more unique and more of a statement piece....?

 

The poor living room....

 

This was one of my projects today. I hate shower doors. They get in the way with giving the kids baths and they get nasty dirty and moldy in the tracks. And I think they look dated and make the bathroom seem smaller.

So I took it out. ALL BY MYSELF! (it wasn't hard)

 

Ali's closet, now with the water heater. I can not WAIT to paint that ugly blue room.
