the afters

Maybe my last post was a bit dramatic. The outside of the house isn't at all an indication of what is going on inside. I don't have the 'before' shots of the inside of the house (I wish I did--a transformation occurred over a short, two-three month period), but I can show you what was accomplished by the Sommer family this summer.

The bathroom.
It used to be a dark shade of mint green and was much smaller.

We now have a new vanity, which I love, and double sinks.
This is my favorite room in the house.

The kitchen.
I haven't cooked much in here yet, but I love the brushed steel appliances.

More kitchen.
Side note: My mom bought that refrigerator for me at the DI for $150 about 5 years ago and it still works. It's a miracle!

New tile and hardwood floor. They are both beautiful.

The guest quarters.
Our lucky visitors get the luxury of watching TV. Well, they would if we could find the remote. We can't change the channel right now, but we'll get that worked out.
Another side note: This is the room that used to be completely violet. Once again, see Kent's blog for details.

Thanks again, Sommer family, for making our house so lovely. Eric, Kent's brother-in-law, deserves a huge thanks. He and Kent's sister, Paige, live in Seattle where Eric works in construction management. He flew down for both Memorial Day and the Fourth of July to tear down walls and lay tile on our behalf. I'm not really sure how we can repay you. We might owe you guys some babysitting?

Thanks again and we'll keep you all posted on the house as it comes together.
