Where have you been all my life?

We're still alive, but we've been busy! We bought a house and now were beautifying our surroundings. Considering what we were given to start with, it doesn't take much to make things look better. I mean really, wall-to-wall putting green carpets and band-aid coloured walls, a decrator's dream! Have a look around and check out what we've been up to so far.

Après et Avant

We're pretty proud of ourselves, I'm not going to lie. This little 1952 house is getting a makeover. Yes, it's true, we have zero renovation experience between us, but isn't that what dad's and google are for? We're still working on some paint in the bedrooms, but the living areas have been cleaned up. Take a look (and stay tuned for more!):

BEFORE: Living Room (mini golf ready).


AFTER: Living Room - lacking accessories, but thankfully lacking carpet as well.


BEFORE: Dining Room. Complete with carpet and brown lino.


AFTER: Dining Room. Chandelier-ed.



BEFORE: Kitchen. Who doesn't love brown, yellow and drop ceilings? oh wait, mostly everyone.
AFTER: Kitchen. Still a little yellow, but now in a more sunny way. RIP rooster curtains.
