We are certainly ready to get our house back together again! Let me remind you..........
House after leak.....no ceilings main floor or basement, no carpet basement, walls cut, crown molding removed......lots of miscellaneous too.
All living room furniture has been piled into the boys' playroom.
We live off the floors.
The ceiling has been plastered! No more beams or bouncy balls falling from one level down to the next.
Picking out carpet in Dalton.
Basement pipes rerouted so we can go from a drop ceiling in one room to plaster to match other rooms in basement. The tiles were ruined in flood.
It raised ceiling by nearly a foot.
New ceiling in tray ceiling in basement with can lights.
New paint in living room. All original oak was painted off-white...included bookshelves, crown molding, judges paneling, doorways, window frames, baseboards.
Back of bookshelves was Sherwin Williams' Mega Greige and the walls were Agreeable Gray.
It appeared a little more blue in the gray, but looked fine.
The lighter colors definitely opened up the room and brightened it completely.
We continued the off-white into the kitchen since that would have been the only room left with the brown trim.
Bennett scooting on his plasma car. Last day of it. Floor refinishing starts tomorrow!
A good thing to come from this disaster is the use of these plasma cars. The boys went buck wild on these things with all the open space. They'll be history once the floors are redone. Sorry kiddos!
Testing out the new wood finishes.
Vuala! Here is the new room! I'm so happy! (We may end up painting the brick but as for now, we are keeping it the original brown color.)
We used our birthday money from both our parents to purchase new rug for the house (now that the boys were not going to be plasma carring everywhere!)
The room really brighten up after the new paint. We are keeping our brown furniture, but still in the process of getting new pillows for the couch and chairs.
The playroom stayed the same but has a new rug to protect the floor. It's shaggy carpet that we had bound on the edges. A wonderful idea from the Wagers!
Now the kids can pull toys down to the floor and roll around playing with them.
The foyer received a new rug, and we moved our old living room rug to the dining room. We certainly were glad the restoration team was able to clean this maroon rug because it has sentimental value to us since we purchased it in remembrance of Grandma Dorothy Wagers (PaPaw's mom)
We continued the white (really an off white, cream into the kitchen on all the wood work/trim)
Floors refinished, but no new rugs here.
This angle doesn't look much different.
But this angle does. Lots more white. This area has to grow on me. Looks so stark!
Again, basically no change from this view except white doors in the distance.
One room of the basement received a good makeover. We replaced the drop down ceiling with a smooth tray dry walled ceiling. It looks great! The picture doesn't do it justice!
We had new paint in certain rooms, electrical can lights installed to replace random dangling lights, and new berber carpet throughout.
Those small changes really modernized the area.
