BEFORE PHOTOS OF MY HOUSE

Hello friends!

This weekend marks the 13th Anniversary of me moving into The Striped House.  Whoa, what?!  How did that happen? 🙂  So today’s post is a “special edition”.   I found these photos of my house from before I moved in.  I actually took them before the old owner moved out.  They are so so so bad.  I don’t even recognize that house.  Seeing these photos makes me realize how much work I’ve done and far I’ve come.  It’s so easy to forget the blood, sweat, tears and long strings of curse words I’ve shed while making over each room in this house.

I have a little scrapbook of these photos and more to show friends who come over.  I let them try to guess which room the pictures are of, and everyone gets stumped!  I’ve linked to the after of each room so you can do a little before and after 🙂

So here is the The Striped House “Before Edition”!

Here is my dining room…

Check out the 1986 yellow oak built-ins and dark fireplace…

This is my guest bedroom, believe it or not 🙂

Oh God, this is my kitchen before I spent a summer re-doing the cabinets

Here is the eating area of my kitchen so you can see the other side of the room.

This picture is standing at the top of my stairs looking through my living room into my office.

This is my old master bathroom…
