Since we bought the house in October of '08 we've done a lot of work to fix it up. Seriously. And being cheap and being us, we did most everything ourselves (i.e., handy dandy husband). So here is a list of what we've done:
* painted the shutters and doors
* replaced exterior light fixtures
* removed the gross old landscaping and replaced with new
* cleared out a TON of brush from the back/side yard (and had LOTS of poison ivy!)
* installed a split rail / black chain-length fence
* installed a new privacy fence across the front
* ripped out the old linoleum from the kitchen and replaced with travertine
* removed all the carpet and old wood flooring downstairs and replaced with exotic hardwood
* more travertine - in the guest bath this time
* painted the kitchen cabinets and added new hardware
* built a kitchen island
* installed counter tops and new sink and fixtures in the kitchen
* all new appliances
* added LED under/over cabinet lighting
* installed recessed lighting
* installed wood blinds on 14 windows
* installed 6 ceiling fans
* painted nearly every room
* new chandelier in dining room
* installed crown molding throughout the living room, kitchen, breakfast nook and foyer
* replaced the front porch rails
** had someone install gutters for us.
Geesh, I'm tired just from the LIST!
Anyway, I finally found artwork for my living room, which I posted the other day. Between getting that hung and some gorgeous silver candlesticks from Pottery Barn, I can officially call my living room DONE!
Here's a shot of it. I totally had to black out the television screen. I happened to snap my shot during a colon health commercial, and we so don't want a pic of that on the site now, do we? As with all the pics here on Call Sign, you can click for a larger view! :-)
