new house?

No, we're not moving. Our latest paint project in the family room is finished (we really like the way it turned out), and that got me to thinking about all the things we've done to this house since we moved in 10 years ago. Here's a list:
  • removed wallpaper from EVERY room in the house
  • painted all the walls we stripped wallpaper off of
  • repainted a couple of rooms
  • replaced chair railing in baby's room
  • replaced the sliding door in the family room
  • installed new windows throughout the house
  • installed blinds in the basement bedrooms
  • installed A/C
  • remodeled kitchen
  • remodeled master bathroom
  • installed tile in all the entries
  • installed new front door
  • installed sump pump
  • installed new carpet everywhere except the basement
  • replaced sink, countertop, and fixtures in boys bathroom
  • installed new lighting fixtures in several rooms
  • installed new front storm door
  • installed new half of automatic sprinkler system to connect to secondary water

That's probably a pretty good listing of the major differences between then and now. With all that, our house should feel "new", right?!

Didn't you also replace the light fixtures in your family room after I smashed them with a plastic lightsaber?

seriously, now that I have a real job, tell me what I owe you since I never paid you for that.

sorry.

Yes, we finally got around to that about a year ago -- it took us that long to find something we liked! It turned into a good excuse to change the fixtures we didn't particularly like anyway.
