House updates

A couple weekends ago we decided to finally get rid of the old lady's floral wallpaper (I know, it was probably nice back in the day or decade she grew up, but not so much for us!). My friend Dana came to help us and Uncle Bri/Aunt Amber took Kaden for the afternoon -- both things made the task much more manageable! We also replaced the 1970s baseboard with the more modern white stuff. I decided this was a good time to take pictures to show some of our renovations (kitchen, steps, front room, living room). We will be leaving our room, our bathroom, and Kaden's room alone. The babies' room will get painted in a couple weeks and we'll eventually work on replacing the carpet/flooring.

Before-living room (this first one is when she lived here):

The house looks great; it (almost) makes me want to "update" ours. Some of ours is needed for cosmetic purposes. But it's not fun, & who's going to pay for it?!?
