Renovations

So we are renovating our house...Hoping to sell in the next while.
So far we have gutted the Bathroom, Kitchen, Dining room & bedrooms.
We started painting.
Ashton's room was a dark dark brown, the light was so dim it looked like a dungeon! We painted it Light blue and red. Like Spiderman! He loves Spiderman.
For our room it was this nasty mustard yellow. We bought this really neat paint that looked like chocolate mousse. Mmm I just wanted to eat it....but I reminded myself it was paint. The hard part was putting it on with a spatula. It needed two coats and a sanding. We ripped out the carpet from both rooms and had new nicer ones installed. The installers broke my hallway light fixture and a bag of funny cigarettes fell out of their pocket, but that's a whole 'nother story!!
But everything looks great in the bedrooms.
Moving along to the bathroom, we ripped out all the tile, painted the cupboards installed a new faucet for the sink and changed all the faucets in the shower/tub!
I ripped up the floor and we're almost done the bathroom, everything's done but the floor.
Moving downstairs, we ripped up the carpet in the dining room...who has carpet in dining rooms with a 5 year old and a dog anyway?? installed laminate and seperated the livingroom & diningroom.
We are planning to rip out the carpet in the living room next, bought all the laminate already just waiting for mom-in-law to come help cut again!!
Then we move into the kitchen. Recently we ripped out all the cupboards that were falling off when we bought the place and re-installed brand spanking new ones. White cabinets with puter nobs! So posh!! so nice!!
Ripped up the floor, and that is our project this weekend!
What we have left, painting, living room laminate, stairs from carpet to laminate, laundry room needs walls, paint and a clean sweep.
Hopefully we can replace some of the windows as it will up the cost!!
I hope I didn't miss anything out except we wouldn't be able to do this without the help of our family!! And our friends with the painting!
