Handing over the keys!

Our new tenants are moving in and we couldn't be happier to be done with painting, sanding, and all else that is home renovating.  We have had our fill for at least a dog year or two.
We hung this plaque on the wall to thank our family for helping us.
We couldn't have done it without you guys!
We hope our new tenants love Morningside and take good care of it this next year! 

Officially handing over the keys to our first tenant!

Thanks for following us along on this journey.  We hope you've had fun!  We are putting down the nail and hammer and closing the laptop for now!

Writing can be exhausting!

We think it is time for a nice long nap.
 
Love, 
Emma and Rupert


P.S. If you have any questions about the projects we have completed, please write a comment and we would be glad to help!

Kitchen Reveal

I would say the kitchen was the most challenging and time-consuming part of the home because it is the most important and has so many variables!  Here is a rundown of all we did in the kitchen.

1.       Painted kitchen cabinets and walls. See more here: http://bit.ly/12u8yOz
2.       Tiled the floor

We chose brown/gray12 X 12 tiles with gray grout.
3.       Replaced the countertops: laminate counter-tops (color: butterrum  granite)
Dad removing the countertops
4.       Replaced the backsplash http://low.es/18MLgrT
The hideous green and white laminate backsplash had to go!
5.       Installed a new sink (purchased at a yard sale for $10)
6.       Installed a new glass top stove (purchased via http://www.recycler.com/iwanta for $150)
7.       Installed a new fridge (purchased used for $300)

So without further adieu, here are the before and after shots!
