Ta da: Part 2 or Freedom

We did it. We finished all that we needed to do to show this here house. This week has been incredibly challenging and also a lot of fun. I grew up working on our house and yard. A lot. I won't bore you all with my "I roofed the house" or my "I installed a sprinkler system" stories (I'm far too modest), but working on my parents' house was a constant in my life. It hasn't been such a constant in this house. We've been a little too good at making do. So, this week has helped me remember how much fun and how much work it takes to really make a house shine. We could not have done it without Grandma Jan. She painted, edged, trimmed, cleaned, organized and did just about anything else we needed. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I also have realized how great our house is. Serious, what's not to love?

I love you, slanty house.















I love your big ginormous living room with the cute guy walking through.















I love your bar for serving lime rickeys and shirley temples.















I love your kitchen with beautiful appliances and ugly wallpaper.















I love your freakishly large master bedroom.















I love your slightly garish yella' room.




















I love your very minty mint chocolate chip room.




















I love your deck. No words. To pretty.















And most of all, I love your bathroom that finally isn't unbelievably ugly.

Before (see if you can spot all of the different materials used in the hardware):




















After (it looks way more beige in this pic, but trust me...it's gorgeous!):




















Sorry about the unexplained underlining. Too tired to figure it out.
