Some Before and Almost there pics

It has taken me awhile to get some pics up of the house. Everything is still a work in progress...and we work up motivation to do something about every four months.

The Living Room Before:


Almost there:
Painting the wood paneling wasn't as hard as we thought. Santiago is a great painter and he has painted the majority of the house. This picture was taken around Halloween...we haven't done much else to it since then.

The Dining Room Before:

Almost there:

Striping off the wallpaper was a big pain! Especially since we discovered dry wall in back of it. Our house was a model home back in the 60's...and that wallpaper came with it! We still need to buy all new lighting throughout the house...so that chandelier is still hanging for now.
