home renovation Archives - Farmhouse Chic Blog

This is officially our last week as renters! We will be completely moved in by next Friday, May 18th!! I can’t believe it’s finally here, but I’m sure glad it is. It has been a very busy month renovating the house to get it move- in ready. The out pour of help from our family and friends continues to amaze us, and we couldn’t be luckier! I’ve had girlfriends and my mother- in- law helping me pack up and take as many boxes as possible to the new house! My plan is to move all boxes over this week, that way the only thing left is the large items on moving day!

Call me crazy, but I planned Isabella’s birthday party the day after we move in! What was I thinking?! Ha, I’m not quite sure.. But I know it will be so special to have our friends and family over to celebrate our little girls FIRST birthday in our new home:)

So, here are a couple of sneak peeks.. I don’t want to reveal everything yet!! I plan on doing side- by- side before and afters because the difference is huge!!

Our dark, brown stained stairs! Still have to paint the
white trim and backing, but they’re beautiful!!

Our living room floors are done!!!

Things are moving right along with the house! It’s crazy, exciting to see it all come together. This entire time I’ve had a picture in my head of exactly what I want it to look like, and it’s coming true! I feel so blessed, and soo thrilled to make memories in our home 🙂

Here are a few (of the many) projects we have going on right now! My dad is doing all of the tile work, he is a master at it 😉 It looks fabulous!! He just did the grout last night and I have yet to see it, so I will update with pics later!

Last week, I posted on Facebook about tips on spray painting my door knobs/ levers. I was quickly encouraged not to take that on, and just buy new ones. Well, I already started the project, and I’m not one to give up, so I’m still moving forward with it! It’s not quite as easy as some of the tutorials I read, but I guess it’s trial and error. I have finished two completely, primer, paint and gloss, and they look great! I will share my final tutorial in coming days.
