Before and After: Andy's room

disclaimer: these pictures of the "afters" are NOT done yet....we have not hung pictures, etc....keep that in mind! please!!!

Showing you all of the changes in the house will take a LOOOONG time. I tried to take a lot of "before" pictures so that I could share the after pictures as well.

I think I am just going to break it down and do it post by post...

Let me start by saying that we have made a TON of progress.  This is like nesting...on crack.  My mom is a freaking saint and is being super helpful with everything, thank GOD!  She had a huge event last week that she was co-chair of so she was really busy during most of the week, but every free second she had, she ran over here to help me.  Again, she's a saint.

I am wishing I took even more before pictures so you could see just how awful the carpeting was and how blah the paint was.  We replaced all carpeting and painted just about every single room....ahhhh! It feels like a new house!  Our countertops are being installed next week so I will not be showing before and afters of the kitchen just yet.

Also, in order to make sure Eddie's mom feels involved all the way from Texas, I have been taking videos of the rooms and taking her on a "walking tour" of the house as we complete a room.  I'll try to include those as well, in case you are curious...

We will start in Andy's room (keep in mind that this is not 100% complete yet and we have not put up pictures, etc...)

BEFORE: Andy's Room

take note of the curtains (they came down the Monday we closed...about 10 minutes after closing) and the paint which had not been updated since the house was built 10 years ago.

AFTER: Andy's Room

New carpet, fresh paint, new window treatments

Bumpers for Andy with his monogram (courtesy of my mom):

Crib with crib skirt and bumpers (it's hard to see it all in the picture, taken from my phone!):

Amazing Roman shades (my mom made these too-- is she talented, or what?!?!)

I hope you like the first room on the tour! I will try to take more pictures of the rooms as we hang pictures, etc... it's not easy moving with a 19 month old, that is for sure!  He's being good...for the most part....!
