Our house is very cute, but it needs some work to make it feel more "ours". We took down a lot of the curtains that the previous owner left behind and have taken out several nails from the wall. We've taken out part of a counter in the kitchen and added a dishwasher and a new sink, thanks to our awesome brother-in-law Jon! There were also these hideous wall sconces in the living room, but Jon and Ben's dad helped take them down and put in one new, more modern sconce. We got a new ceiling fan for the living room since it did not have lights attached and the room is so much brighter and cheerier!
My mom came up this past weekend to help us fix up our main bathroom. It was okay, but the bathtub was worn out and the wallpaper is...a bit much. I really love the tiles in the bathroom but we need to replace them if we are going to take out our vanity sink and put two pedestal sinks it its place. The hardest part of the whole project was redoing the plumbing. We also had to replace some of the wall studs.
This is how Ben felt about the whole project: "It was exhausting". We stayed up until 2 or 4 in the morning working on it. My mom will be coming again to help us finish up. I can't wait to see how it all is going to look!
And now, for some pictures!

Ben, working on the plumbing. Probably the hardest part of the whole project!
My mama is a tiling beast. Just sayin'. She made up this neat tiling layout with subway and mosaic tiles. It's not quite finished, but it will be soon! I won't post any more pictures of our bathroom until we do the "Big Reveal", so stay tuned!
Me, on one of our several trips to Home Depot. I am the queen of Home Depot!
