My husband and I bought this house a few months ago, and have just started to settle in. We knew when we bought it that there were lots of updates and remodeling that needed to be done. But, we didn't realize just HOW MUCH remodeling needed to be done until we actually got moved in. It was built in the 70's, and has had SOME updates that were done by the previous owners. They left behind the 8' popcorn ceilings, parquet tile and 1.5" molding :( {psyco music playing in the background}
So, with a limited budget and DIY skills (which are much more limited than our budget), we have decided to embark on getting our home updated, one room at a time. We are starting next week with the foyer/stairwell. Paint, molding, stair treads, lighting, accessories, etc. - the popcorn ceiling and flooring will have to wait until we complete our we-can-do-it-ourselves-projects, so we can get a professional in there to complete our renovation. Will post the "before" picture next week - and begin our agonizing transformation.....
