Our house was flooded in February. Our insurance agency paid for the cost of the entire "clean-up." The final bill was nearly $5,000. And then they generously wrote a check for $324.89 for the rebuilding of the basement, master bathroom, roof and computer room. Thrilled that we had stumbled across a jack pot the husband and I decided that it was the perfect opportunity to refinance our house and throw ourselves into a complete remodel. My husband likes to call this remodel, "If you give OHmommy a flood..." Well. She will want a complete remodel of the downstairs. Come on in. Please take off your shoes in the newly tiled bathroom. No before photos... because who takes pictures of a hideous 80s bathroom with a white tiled floor, horrible cabinets and a wall of mirrors?  We ordered standard cabinets that the husband dressed up with molding for that "custom cabinetry" feel. On the top and sides. Sexy cabinet, isn't it?  We "stole" the mirror from my parent's basement ping-pong room that was gathering dust. Used the same sink. New paint. New fixtures.  One room completely done in the house that love built. Which means we are now open for playdates if your children do not mind nail guns in the computer room, walking across sub floors in the kitchen and eating microwaved chicken nuggets. Stay tuned. The mud room will be completed by next weekend if my husband is motivated enough. I'm off to the Salvation Army tomorrow, in search of a cheer leading costume to get this remodel really going.  |
