Did we buy a money pit?


So we are happy with our home, but have had so many projects to do. We have gone though gallons of paint, changed a lot of light fixtures, some landscaping, staining, flooring...It's not going to stop. We still have the garage, basement, bedrooms....

This is the aftershot of the kitchen. We still need to put the hardware on and get a new oven...down the line.

This is right after Dave painted the cabinents. He did a great job, but it was very messy with the sprayer.


This is the after of the bathroom. I took down blue and pink wall paper, painted the walls and cabinents, but we'll have to get to the bulk of it later.
Do you love the wallpaper?







This is a shot off my back deck which we are currently staining...another project.










Here's a front shot. I love the fall colors. Dave has grand plans for a major face-lift, but it is low on the list of "need-to" do's.

This is the Living Room. We have painted very inch of it, even the trim. Still needs new floors.










Who needs to buy a really tall ladder? Only those who don't have a cool husband like mine. (The tacky brass ceiling fan had to go!)








My favorite room in the house is my bedroom. I love the windows that look out to the back yard where the deer roam...








And this is AFTER the beautiful blue with pink swirls wallpaper came down. Lovely, no?

  1. Terri, Your home is so beautiful! I love the chandelier in the kitchen, and I love your backyard. Your children are so grown up and beautiful. I miss you! I'm so glad you guys are settled and that you're able to start blogging again. I would have commented sooner, but I'm usually nursing when I'm on the computer, and it's hard to type with one hand. :)

  2. Terri, I don't understand your hate for pink and blue wallpaper...with swirls. LOL.

    The house is gorgeous - just like your last house in Wisconsin. You live in the most gorgeous homes with the most gorgeous scenery. Your posts make me hate the desert even more and I didn't think that was possible!

    On a happier note, I am SO GLAD you are back to blogging. I've missed you!
