Before and after/ Revisiting our Home DIY projects. Part I

Well, everyone, it is Thursday!

We almost survived another week! LOL

We are two weeks away from Thanksgiving and, I don't know about you, 

but I am running like a crazy person! :)

Not only I am trying to get everything ready for our Holiday dinner,

but I am also trying to get all my Christmas decor planned and, at the same time,

I am trying to finish all the projects and crafts that I started two weeks ago.

Anyway, I am taking a step back from all of it today and 

I thought I take the time to put a little post together.

Today, I am sharing some before and afters of our many 

DIY home improvement projects.

We have been very, very busy! 

Although we try to give ourselves a couple of weeks between projects 

to recuperate and let our bodies heal from all the aches and pains, LOL I have to say, there is always something going on in our home.

Is either spray painting, framing and painting walls, adding molding,

putting in floors, building furniture.... you name it, we have done it.

Here are a few samples.

I always wanted to have a home library!

Reading is one of my passions, so when we moved into this home,

we finally had the extra space to make that dream come true.

This was one of our very first projects.

Added molding to the inside of our front entrance and

we built a new hall table.

I tried my hand at stenciling a wall for the first time.

That was scary! LOL

We completely remodeled our laundry room

We converted our upstairs game room into a larger bedroom for our daughter.

This was a space nobody ever used and I don't believe in wasted space

To be able to do so, we had to enclose the room and added double doors. 

Now, that was a project! LOL

 And, just recently, I painted and stenciled her Armoire

In the family room, we built a mantle.

I made outdoor curtains for our back porch out of painters drop cloth and we gave the porc h a new look look by adding tile and building a new railing and privacy screens.

Now, this is a space we really enjoy.

We sprayed painted an old headboard with ORB

and used it for our son's room

Our spare bedroom is being turned into a craft room.

We painted walls, ripped out the carpet

and we installed hardwood floors.

And on the stairwell, we added chair rail,molding and painted.
Our next project in this space is going to involve taking off the carpet and replacing the steps with hardwood. We also hope to be able to stain the banister to a darker color.

This is it for today!
I decided to do this post in two parts, just too many pictures.
I hope this post gives you the inspiration to try to do your own DIY projects.
That is how I get myself in trouble all the time!
Too much inspiration in blogland! :)

Thank you for visiting and enjoy the rest of your week
