Before & After

As many of you know, Darrin and I have been working really hard to get our house together. I have to confess Darrin has been working much harder than me. However, we have finally completed the house. We want to share with everyone Darrin's hard work. As cheesy as it is, we have finally made our house a home.


Before ... welcome to the Mexican Cantina

This is the living room, and the first room you would see when walking into the house.



This is a straight shot from the front door.




This entire room was pink!





Here starts the process ... we did a lot of painting. Darrin would come home from his long commute and paint for the rest of the night. We literally had to paint the entire house.



Darrin painting our bedroom. This wall use to be mauve and Darrin hated it. Needless to say, this was the first wall to get painted.
This is the kitchen and the entry way. The front door is just over to the right outside of the picture.

This is the family room. Most of the walls were a dark tan with the one red wall over the fire place.


This entire room was bright blue.
Finally, the new Draper home!

This is the living room. The entry way into the house. Since this picture was taken we have added a coffee table.



The new family room.


Darrin's been waiting two years for a recliner. He finally talked me into it. He loves it!

We did decide to leave one of the walls in Taytum's bedroom pink. Once we started painting the craziness of the room died down and it didn't look so bright pink. The wall we left pink is just to the left of this picture.

We hope you enjoyed your brief tour of our new house. We are excited about the house and can't wait for all our family and friends to come visit.

Looks great guys!! Did you put the "kitchen" sign up so Darrin would know where he was? :-) By the way, IF we move to CA, we will stop by and break in the new house! LOL!

the house is so cute! We have been painting too but we just went from white to frontier tan to be exact! Josh still has to finish a little and fix a wall I did, I am not a very good painter I guess... :)
