Georgia House Pictures!

It has been about two months since we closed on the Watervale house and now we are almost finished. We still have to gut and remodel our bathroom that still resides in the 80's and finish the backyard, but it is finally finished enough to show the before and afters. I hadn't looked at the befores in a long time and I can easily say that I am proud of TJ and my work (with the help of a few others too...special thanks to Kenny)!
Our Hilton Head style home sure needed a little curb appeal and the process has certainly began with some help from my parents. The door color isn't right yet, but we are on the right track as they planted some pretty stuff and seeded the near inexistent grass.

Almost after (not the best photo)...


We have a side entry garage, and if you come in through it the first room you hit is the laundry room.

After...


The kitchen is next and needed the least amount of work...just some new lighting, appliances, and paint.
Before...


After...



Between the kitchen and front entry was the dining room, which we converted into our office since the kitchen has a large eating space. It was awful! It still needs wall decor and french doors, but she has come a long way.

After...



I think the most amazing transformation is that of the living/family room. It was probably the most ugly and dated room I had seen in a long, long time. It took a lot of primer and paint, new carpeting, new shades and new lighting to change this room. We still need a piece of art for above the fireplace (large black and white photograph), but she is almost finished.

After...




From the living room is the hall to the bedrooms and bathrooms. It is a three bedroom home with two and a half baths.

After...


The powder room has new lighting, hardware, paint, and a new mirror.

After...


The smaller guest bedroom needed a little help too. Just paint, carpeting, lighting, hardware and blinds. Sorry the pictures are at different angles.
Before...


After...


The Jack and Jill bathroom literally hurt my eyes and my heart with its nasty wallpaper. She was a doosie, but looks much better now with paint, lighting, and hardware. The tile is a little dated, but its white and in great condition so it stays! I like this bath because it is two seperate areas, so you can get ready while another showers.

After...



The back guest room needed the same work as the last.
Before...


After...



The last finished room is the master bedroom. We actually kept the fan...shocker! Everything else got the same treatment as the last two bedrooms.
Before...


After...



We still have our master bath to deal with, but mama needs a break! It has great space, but has a hideous shower and tub...and the wallpaper...ewwwwww! But here it is:



Our backyard is a dream, but currently doesn't have any grass. We took out seven trees so that we might have a chance at growing some now...we just need some sod. I do like the back deck a lot, and in the lower area we plan to put a firepit.




Clearly we have been busy! In addition to what was mentioned above, we have had the ceilings redone and all the hinges, door handles, switches, and recipticals replaced. And we have painted evey square inch of this place except for the master bath. There have been times when I thought it wasn't worth it, but now the work has seemed to have paid off. We are home now.
Until next time, BYE!

Looks great! Surprising what difference even new light fixtures will do for a place.
I have a friend who does amazing black and white paintings from photos if you are interested in something personal for your living room!

When can I come visit??
