Our House - Family of 8


God blessed us with an amazing house we were able to pay cash for!  It was a foreclosure, so we were able to get it at a great price and still have money left to fix it up.  It is 2800 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms, a large living room, dining room and an extra family room!


Before we moved in, we had to replace most of the electrical and plumbing.  We also had to put in a furnace, air conditioning, hot water heater, and purchase all of the appliances.  We also covered up one of two basement stairs and took out a hot tub!  Yes, I said hot tub!  It was gross...


We painted the master bedroom (there was a walrus on the wall!) and the bathroom, which was purple sponge paint!


Laminate wood flooring went into the kitchen, dining room, and master bedroom.  Fresh carpet went down in the living room and up the stairs.  Lastly, Kevin and the kids put up a tile back splash in the kitchen that is beautiful.  Here are some before and after pics.



After we moved in, Kevin and the older kids painted 3 of the kid's bedrooms and laid carpet in 2 of them.  Poor Daniel had a hot pink room for a year, LOL!

The last big indoor project we (I really mean Kevin) did was paint and lay laminate wood floor in our family room, which we also use for school.  It's beautiful now and my favorite room in the house!  What do you think? 






And that's the house that God blessed us with!
