Change is good!




Demolition has begun!! Just last weekend we started tearing apart the upstairs. We have not put any paint on the walls until now. Matt and I like to laugh about how every house we live in has McKenzie Khaki and now this one does too. We have added dark brown to the kitchen trying to take some of the pink tone in the cabinets out. We thought about painting them put realized the work and just thought we could do other things to change them. We love our red wall out in the living room. This red is nothing new for us we had a red wall in a bedroom in Garden City house and liked it. We also plan to paint the inside of our front door black and our patio doors black. Yes, this sounds crazy but our doors in Greeley had black paint and looked great! Plus they don’t show the yuck that Mr. Hoss can leave behind when he leans on them all day. I can’t wait to get some new carpet and tile in the next few weeks but we will have to get the tile done first. Matt will do our tile job but definitely we will hire our carpet done. We plan to add a tile back splash to the kitchen and do new counter tops ourselves. The carpet will be replaced in the living room and our bedroom first. Later when the basement is finished we will moved Matt’s office downstairs and replace the carpet in his room and Josh's room. We also will remodel all 3 bathrooms upstairs with tile and maybe new vanities depending on the budget! Down stairs, we will have 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom and an open floor plan for Matt’s office, bar, eating area, game area and media area. We have A LOT of work to do and will show pictures along the way. Hope you enjoy and if you have any decorating ideas or any ideas, we are always up for hearing about them.

Looking good. I think the pink in the cabinets will go away when you change the counter tops and get the tile installed.

It looks awesome so far! It is a big change already. I can't wait to see more updates.

Looks like fun!!! If the pink in the cabinets don't go away get Mom and Wayne down to help strip them. They are always stripping and refinishing furniture. They'll know what they're doing!! I'm sure they'll appreciate me volunteering them ;) It looks very good.

Love your changes so far and can't wait to see more! Isn't it amazing what just a new coat of paint will do? We just painted our front door black, too. The only problem...we wish we would have done it sooner! Ha! Good job!
