Before & After Mildly Extreme Home Makeover

After many weekends of hard work, deal finding, and magazine flipping here are a few house projects we've completed on our long list to make our house a home. It's been fun working together to figure out how a chair rail is installed, what the "right shade of maroon" is for our dining room and how our furniture works best for us. We've laughed alot, cursed a few times (me) and grown closer as a couple. We've got lots more in the works!

Office Before:

Office painted

Office with chair rail and old college furniture but minus plantation shutters (not that you can tell).

Office completed with plantation shutters. Now obviously it's not technically an office yet as there is no furniture in the room, but patience...

For now just enjoy the walls and windows...

Formal Dining Before:

Formal dining painted minus chair rail and shutters:
Partial chair rail, dining table, no shutters:
Chair set:

Formal dining with completed chair rails, shutters, and table with chairs.

Now all that's missing are the accessories...

Living room minus accessories:

Yes we've since fixed the fact that the coffee table and tv stand are off centered. :)
