1811. Home sweet home for the Hughes.

Thank you for taking time to look at the transformation of our home. We are so blessed, beyond what we could have ever dreamed of or imagined.

She matches her room. Can you guess what mm’s favorite colors are?

Katie’s room

This is the “master bedroom” upstairs, so Katie was thrilled when she realized she would have her own bathroom.  She wants to paint the bathroom lime green & turquoise, but that hasn’t happened…yet.

  I love seeing the difference with these side by side, esp the stairs.

  Brad Prenger did an excellent job on our hardwoods.

Dining Room

When we were looking for a house, there were  a few “requirements” at the top of our list. A dining room was one of those,

We stripped the wallpaper & also removed the paneling.  And, yes, the light fixture.

I found this at the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store, and painted it to go in the dining room.

I love the way it feels so open now.  

I found the rug at Aldi’s. I know, not where I would think I would find a rug!

I bought this fabric when we were in Myrtle Beach last year, before we had a house. Mom did these panels & I love the way they turned out.   

That concludes the dining room post.

They did the glazing of the kitchen cabinets.  It was tedious, and cold, and our cabinets are beautiful! I think of my sweet friends every time I am in the kitchen.

We cleaned & painted the original hardware & it turned out great.
