Good bye my cute house

We are leaving Utah in 2 days! It is a crazy feeling. And before we packed up our house last night, I took a few pics. I know to most of you this house is probably lame...but I am quite proud of my work, and am going to miss my "creation" terribly. In case you didn't know...I LOVE LOVE LOVE doing interiors! Everything from wall texture and lighting to finishing furniture and accessories. I don't have before pics, so I will just show all the after photos. Keep in mind we have only been in the home about 2 years. It is a 32 year old home, 2500 square feet. Nothing had been upgraded when we moved in from the original owners, and I don't think there is even a surface in there that I haven't touched! Patrick and I did all the work ourselves (with occasional help from PJ). We painted every wall/ceiling/door/molding/closet-you name it; installed new moldings, doors & hardware, flooring, closets and lighting through out; ripped out three walls; re-textured every wall surface and ceiling; replaced and re-did the fireplace; re-did all bathrooms floor to ceiling; re-wired and wired from scratch new lights; and we did it all on a budget! So I am posting this as a tribute to all the long hours and hard work we put in... and well, to brag about my skills! So thanks to all those who take the time to look at what my little brain came up with!
(Sorry they are out of order...still not sure how to do this whole BLOG thing! :)

This is my dining/Kitchen area. I did the finish on the Table/& Bar stools!We also laid tile/did paint/moldings/recessed lighting/and hung a new chandelier.
There used to be this huge ugly built in computer desk here...after taking it out we put in the hutch and this corner shelf for storage!
This is the Kitchen! Corian counters/glass pantry door/tile, paint, and moldings.
More Kitchen. So basic....and boring but I was packing after all.

The house has 5 bedrooms...4 of them look like this(except one has pink paint for KK and one has blue for Jack).
Back yard....I didn't do any thing....I said INTERIORS...I am not good outdoors.

Backyard (other view). I am so going to miss the space.

Basement (it used to be WAY cuter but I packed it all up). Down stairs we did all flooring, painted every wall/door/ceiling, all new moldings, new door hardware, wired lighting(from pull string to switches), installed new light fixtures, re-did the bathroom and we got it finished before we even moved in(well, almost). It was 3-4 weeks of hell...my husband was contemplating murder by the end of it.

Kids "froggy" bathroom...
Kitchen and Dinning view.

Front of the house... I did paint and do lighting/shutters out here.


View in from the front door. I wired and installed those sconces!

View from the kitchen.. the wood floors are my fav! I also did the finish on the wood furniture here.
Front room (as seen from the entry). We actually knocked this wall out to make this room!

Family Room. So cute.
More Family room.
Upstairs Bathroom. Yep we did all that too!

My bedroom.
oohh! My closet! I re-did it and got tons and tons more storage space... I love closet makeovers!

View from my bed... such a small master bedroom...
And our fire place. This used to be this huge, ugly, bulky, asymmetrical night mare...one of my favorite memories is taking the hammer to the brick and destroying it... just in time for Patrick to come home from work and exclaim..."WAIT!! We are doing the fire place too?!". He apparently wasn't prepared for that.

Thanks for looking... and letting me toot my own horn!
