We've been working on the new home for about 2.5 weeks now and are definately making progress.  Unfortunately sometimes it's really hard to tell.  A lot of what we've been doing has been ripping things apart, tearing it out or pulling it down.  The good news is that this part of the process is very cheap... really mostly free!

Remember the Dining Room Before....

Vinyl sticky tile flooring, popcorn ceiling, wrong color walls for my decor....

Our progress....

In the living room and dining room we ripped out the vinyl flooring, painted the walls and scraped the ceilings (ok, they haven't been scraped in the living room yet... which is sad because it needs it the most, but apparently this will be a job we'll have to hire out as the previous owner did something to make this a very tricky job.)  We also added new 6" baseboards and are in the process of painting the crown molding and all the trimwork. 

New bamboo flooring goes in this week and I'm excited to see it.....

Remember the Master Bedroom before....

Well, we ripped out the shelving and mudded the walls.... new carpeting is in the process of going in....

Now in an ideal world we would have been able to finish the ceilings and painted everything before the flooring was installed.  If we were flipping this house it definately would have gone in a different order.  Unfortunately we are trying to sell our current residence and really would prefer to sell it without living in it... especially with so much work going on in this house.  As soon as the home is habitable we'll be moving in....
