We finally got new windows first of all, yay!
before:
ugly tint that I hated, thin windows that allowed us to hear the neighbor kids screaming from their swimming pool, let in tons of dirt, heat and bugs and were almost impossible to actually open.
new, lovely dual pane windows that open with ease. Keep all of our air conditioned air in, bugs and dust out!
Isa's room would get so hot in the middle of the day, her new windows are triple pane!

I love these picture windows that we got with no openings, they are beautiful. I love the view out the window, the mountains...and our neighbors awesome pool!
This is my favorite, I love it. We have an antique stained glass piece that we are going to hang in front of it once we get a free minute.
We also had the "cottage cheese" scraped off all of the remaining ceilings. Donovan and I did the rooms that we could reach but our bedroom and living room ceilings were so tall that we were afraid to get up on that tall off a ladder. We hired Metro Painters and they did an awesome job, I highly recommend them. They also painted our master bedroom.
We moved as much into the garage as we could:
Moved all of our bedroom stuff into the master bath. We also stacked a bunch on top of the toilet and it already had a crack in it so it leaked everywhere...but that's a whole different blog!
Our bedroom before:
After:
The walls are a faint blue/green color and we re-arranged all the furniture. That furniture is so stinkin heavy!
I haven't found the right bedding yet and we are ordering 2" blinds for the windows so everything looks odd, but I will update it, you know I will!
Oh, and my wonderful husband installed that ceiling fan, it's the first fan we have ever had in our bedroom, it's beautiful and works so well!
Here is everything from the family room, we moved it all into the kitchen:
Donovan and I slept in the playroom, it was nice! We put our mattress on the floor and took the tv off the wall and put it on it's stand in there.
I didn't get many photos of them actually working on it, we tried to stay out of the mess, but they covered all the walls with plastic.
The floors were covered in dust, Corky had it all over her.
Anywho, that's where I've been. We are still putting things back in their place and cleaning up after all these messes!
