It begins...

Last night was our first night of demo in the new house. Also, it was Alfie's first trip to his future home. It didn't take him too long to discover that the windows are now the perfect height for him. Pretty sure his world is going to be changed forever. It also didn't' take him very long to discover the chickens in the neighbors yard. I have a feeling they are going to meet him a little more up close and personal than they would like.
We didn't get a ton done as we had limited time, but we did manage the get out locks changed out and started scraping off some of the popcorn ceilings. I started int he closets to see what condition the drywall underneath was in and was pleasantly surprised to find that it looks fantastic. I'm hoping we can get away with not texturizing them at all and going with a smooth ceiling finish. Here are some before shots of the house to commemorate our first day of work. Also, so we don't forget just how far we've come.

This is the master bedroom. 

Master Bath. I know, the carpet in the bathroom is fantastic.

Our beautiful double sinks.

Front room. No idea what we're going to do with it.

Front room leading into the dining room/kitchen area.

Same place, better shot.

Future site of our kitchen table. Don't you just love the wallpaper pattern!

The kitchen, which is quite roomy. (Yes, Alfie feels the need to be seen in every photo.)

My lovely popcorn ceiling.

First room to be de-popcorned by yours truly.

Goodbye carpet! It only gets better from here!
