The biggest project of the whole thing was the CEILINGS!!! The house had gross popcorn ceilings which we took down ourself and then we smoothed the ceiling ourself too. It was the hardest thing we did for sure. There was a crack/bulge in the ceiling you can kind of see in the picture below that Matt and Grant Rencher (awesome guy from my ward growing up that was also a 4th grade teacher at my elementary school) totally fixed which was huge!

KITCHEN:

I love so many things we changed, but a huge one is the FLOOR. We pulled up multiple layers of old linoleum and put down oblong slate (looking) tile

Adding cabinets and a countertop made the kitchen so much bigger! I love it. Maybe someday soon we will actually get hardware for the cabinets- one step at a time.

With such a small bathroom we definitely wanted more storage, so I had some fun and actually got us a lot of storage.
Ikea spice racks to hold hair products, toothbrushes, make up brushes, and to be a towel rack.
Wire basket on the side of the vanity to hold curling iron and flat iron. They can go in when they are hot. It is so nice.
OFFICE:
Before:
After:
We pulled up the carpet and there was the original hardwood underneath. We also painted and added molding.
This cart from ikea can seriously be used for anything.
Reading corner
Storage corner. It is a small house, which makes us find ways to store things.
BEDROOM:
Before:
After:
I love the ikea shelf as an end table because our room is small and so it can hold a lot and be used for decoration.
Jewelry
Again ripped up the old carpet
New fan
We love our house and I loved making it feel like ours. Also I know that our house is basically an ikea ad. You should see how many of those little allen wrenches we have collected.
