a few updates

Here are a few pictures of a couple remodels that we have done to the house. I wish we had before pictures (totally my fault that we don't have them....Morgan assigned me to do it, and instead I probably sat on my butt and ate my weight in salsa), but you'll just have to imagine really crappy ugly before pictures so you'll be super impressed.

Morgan did all of the work (with some help from Matt and my brother Tyler. Morgan won't even let me help paint. He doesn't trust me. At least I get to pick the colors). I just picked stuff out, told Morgan that the grout lines weren't uniform, and got yelled at and kicked out of the house for critiquing the work.

I must say that I am really happy with the way everything turned out. Morgan did a great job. I think the fireplace is quite dramatic. I know you all love my side chairs. A friend of Morgans calls them the Atari chairs. The only thing I'm a little disappointed about is that one of my painting isn't hanging above the fireplace. Instead we get a 46 inch T.V. I guess being able to watch So You Think You Can Dance would be more entertaining. You can only look at a painting of boats for so long you know.

umm...so when are you going to start lending Morgan out. He could do wonders for my house. I love the tile in the bath, and the fireplace is fab.

I don't know what the before pictures looked like? But the after pictures are amazing!

I'm definitely going to come over when I come up there for Nate's wedding.

I like the colors you picked too. You pretty much rock at this remodeling thing!

And I have some more cute pics of Gwen. I'll email them to you when I'm not sitting on my death bed, deathly sick, blogging.

Love all the home make overs! We would never be able to do a remodel like that; lets just say that my husband has many strengths and home improvement just isn't one of them!

love it. Love the side chars. They make the room.

Looks great McKelle! I'm highly jealous; our house has an ugly rock mantle but I am not nearly handy enough to actually make it look decent. Where is your new place?

Hello Pottery Barn!! You guys did a great job. I love it so much. I love the book shelves! Wow!!

Mandy said...

So proud of you! It really does look like something out of a magazine. No fair! When will Gwen run in and ruin everything? I hope she throws a giant rock at your HUGE TV. Coming down to SLC tomorrow! Wanna play? We are coming to watch MaCauley play ball but you know that also requires eating someplace yummy or something. Ron said that if you dont want to hang a picture up, you could just send it to us....we will use it!
