new house

We are finally emerging from a long home renovation intensive! We closed on our house on the 15th of April and have been fixing it up since. Apparently the previous owners were not bothered by dust or dog hair- lets just say it was really gross. If you know me at all, you know this was my worst nightmare. We have mostly banished the 'heebeejeebees'; just a few more areas to sanitize like behind the dishwasher. Frankly, I am afraid to look.
We also, in a moment of naive ambition, decided to remove the popcorn ceilings. It was a crazy large undertaking that we only survived with help from our families. A whole lot of scraping, dust, and painting later we have much nicer and CLEANER ceilings. we also removed wallpaper from the kitchen, dining, utility, and bathrooms (some easier than others) and painted almost every room and the kitchen cabinets. huh, i'm tired just typing it all!

here are some before and after pics:

We still have a alot to do (like paint the cabinet doors), but all of the major messiness is finished!
