Extreme Makeover Hawthorne Edition

Once upon a time, we had to move to Brownfield for Josh's job so we got to buy a house. 

We fell in love for this house that was way out of our price range. But by the grace of God and an AMAZING real estate agent, we got it! 

There were a few updates that needed to happen at some point. We immediately got to paint and take down yards upon yards of drapery but this year we finally got the opportunity to really make some drastic changes!

In case you forgot we had a little incident that got us moving (kinda!) on this project. 

We are finally wrapping up this project and I have been so anxious to show it off! My husband did 90% of the work...the other 10% was my father-in-law and my self! :)

Here are some before pictures of our oh-so-lovely kitchen/dining area. 

Beautiful blue countertops

Lattice windows (???) What the heck.....

Ribbed wallpaper

So my handy dandy husband and father-in-law got to work…

Cutting out those lovely lattice windows!!

MUCH BETTER!!

And this was a little comparison of the old versus the new :)

Josh painted the countertops himself using the Giani Granite kit!

I LOVE it!!

Got the backsplash up

Finished counters and backsplash!

Part of the floor laid!

ALL DONE!!!!!!

So just for fun--here is a little side by side to compare!

I'm so proud of my husband for the amazing job he did! It was a lot of work and took us a long time but it turned out beautiful!!
