Hard Work









These next pictures are of our projects that we have done over the past couple of months. To go back a little bit. When we bought the house the kitchen was a pretty cool color of red and Breton's room was a purple color that was not very good. The whole rest of the house was a horrible yellow color. The ceiling in the bathroom was even yellow it was horrible. We painted the living room and our bedroom before we moved in. Then about 18 months ago we painted Breton's room and my man cave office room thing. Leslie's Mom, Dad, Sister and our 3 nephews came to Lubbock for christmas and I was chasing Payton and Jacob through the house. Payton reached up and grabbed our bedroom doorknob to stop himself. When he did this the whole door came down. The piece of wood that was screwed to the hinges was the only part of our door still standing. So we decided to put new interrior doors in. That was a small thing but it really makes our house look a lot nicer. Then because we were in the mood to do some more things so we painted the bathroom. While we were at lowes we saw some cool countertops and decided that we would replace them as well. Our countertops looked like the were from the late 60's. The bathroom had panelling half way up and then like i said was yellow. As you can see in the pictures we painted the panelling blue and the walls and the ceiling white it looks so much nicer. We also pulled out the old vanity because it sucked and put a new euro space saver vanity back in. It is a lot nicer and makes our tiny bathroom look bigger. Next we are going to put a backsplash up and put in a new back door. Just FYI the picture that has a bouquet of flowers is the new countertop. Then the picture with stuff all over the counter is right after we fit the sink in and glued it down. That is right you glue countertops down these days. So we put a whole bunch of stuff on it to weight it down a little.
