home improvements

So in all the craziness of moving and having a baby, we never got a chance to put up pictures of our house in Meridian. We put an offer on it the day after it went on the market, and we love it! It has turned out to be exactly what we needed. First are some pictures of things we've updated on it, then there are just some pictures from inside the house.


PROJECT #1: shutters
BEFORE
AFTER

We decided we wanted new shutters to give the outside of our house a little facelift. Dad had some real wood shutters made for us, and I got outside in the 100 degree heat and painted them! The original shutters and door were a green color, and we picked a dark mocha. Last week a handyman came and hung them, and here is the finished product! We love the way they turned out!

PROJECT #2: bathrooms- paint, countertops, sinks, and faucets
This had some lovely yellowish swirly marble countertops- no offense to anyone who has them, but they HAD to go. :)
