Workin' On the House

Okay, so My Honey and I have been trying to improve a few things around our house. Some working out much better than the others.

First we tackled the downstairs bathroom. We had a leaky faucet which we couldn't replace due to the way it was installed, and used that as a springboard to spruce the room up. We replace the pedestal sink with a cabinet and sink, (the bathroom had previously had no storage at all,) replaced the medicine cabinet, ripped up the old tiles and laid  new linoleum. We had to replace some pieces of drywall and then we finished it all with a new paint color. I'm the first to admit, it doesn't look perfect, but it's a site better than it was.

Then, off to the dining room. All we really had done here was had a fixture installed. A friend of ours is an electrician so we gave him a call. Here's a pic of our new light.

As you can see, there's also a hole in the wall in the background. That's project number three. Kev and I punched a hole in the kitchen/dining room wall to allow more light through. It was My Honey's first somewhat big job in the house. It was a load bearing wall, so he took great care and did a fantastic job. We'll be finishing it off hopefully next week. We still have the drywall, mud, and trim yet to do, but here's a couple pics of where we stand.
