Before and Afters

 The final before and after of our Syracuse home! Picture overload

Since the day we moved in and the day we moved out everything was covered in snow, it is impossible to see the amazing difference there is on the outside, but I'll show you some in-between as well. 

Living Room

 We painted, replaced the carpets and added window treatments to this room

Dining Room

In the dining room we added wainscoting, paint, and new flooring.

 Through the back and front entry we painted, and replaced the doors and floors and baseboards.  The tile was so broken and some were not even hooked down anymore.  If we had stayed in the house we would have repainted the main color to probably a light blue or gray, but we knew we were moving, so it stayed.
 

 The Kitchen

 

 

In the kitchen we replaced the floors, pulled out the broken swinging bar seats, replaced the back of the cabinets, replaced the counters, painted the cabinets,  replaced the appliances, installed hardware, and of course painted the walls (a couple of times).

Painted the pantry door that always looked dirty no matter how clean I got it.

 Painted and re-carpeted the family room, fixed the fireplace, and installed a fan for fireplace.

Vivian's Room

We replaced the chair rail, painted, re-carpeted, and installed window coverings.  I had the crib and changing table a light blue when Grayson was a baby, and lavender for Viv.  I loved the sweet little nursery. 

Master Bedroom

 This room was GIGANTIC, it was ridiculous, and I loved it.  We painted and re-carpeted in here.

Grayson's Room

 Again paint and re-carpeted, and of course I still love the bed I built him.

 Master Bathroom

This space was in some serious trouble and so we tore out all of the tile and started over, made the door to the shower larger as well as added lighting.  Added a step to get in the giant garden tub, painted the cabinet, added hardware, replaced the counter, sink, and faucet, as well as painted of course.

Our closet

 

Added shelves, paint, and carpet.

  

Kids Bathroom

 I painted all the things, added hardware and had it re-tiled.

 Main Floor Bathroom

 We replaced the floor, installed a cabinet, sink, and faucet, painted, framed the mirror, and installed hardware.


Somehow I don't have any before pictures of the office, however I'm sure you can imagine, dirty white walls, filthy light carpet then this...

 Laundry closet "befor-ish" and after

 Out back

    Outside, we installed crazy amounts of cement along the back, side, and even out front. Planted an obscene amount of plants, curbing, and the trees, built planter boxes, put in gravel, got a shed, built a deck, fixed the dilapidated sprinklers and nursed the grass back to being grass rather than weeds.
    Our sweet home in Syracuse has gone through major changes in the short six years we lived there and I'm sure it has quite the adventure ahead of it.  I have loved this beautiful home, and I am in love with my new home as well.  We are so very blessed, and I am excited for our new adventure.
