What Were We Thinking?

Okay, enough about diamonds, rough and rubble, let's get to the good stuff.  Like I said in this post, 

this house needed some attention (that is putting it mildly).  It really needed a complete overhaul.  

Here's what it looked like on the inside before our contractor got to work tearing it apart.  

Please note, this is how the house looked before we purchased it.  

 Living Room Before

 Foyer Before

 Office Before

 Dining Room Before (my husband being cute)

 Kitchen Before (check out the tile on the ceiling)

 View from Kitchen into Family Room Before

 Family Room Before (to the left of the fireplace was a built-in Jenn Air grill - didn't think we'd be needing that)

 Family Room Before (yes those are guns and cowboy hats hanging on the wall in the top of the picture)

 4th Bedroom Before

 Girl's Bedroom Before

 Girl's Bedroom Before
Girl's Bathroom Before

 Boy's Bathroom Before

 Third Floor Before

Yes, I am going to post the after pictures as long as it doesn't snow 5"-8" tonight and school is called off tomorrow.  You have any renovation nightmares or triumphs to share?  If so, feel free to comment below.  Would love to hear about them.
