This is what all the rooms look like. First they got tape, mud, and then texture. Then the walls received new crown modeling(except our closet) and new floor boards. We have primed all of the walls and painted all of the ceilings white.
This is the wall color for our room, a warm brown. It is called ice tea but the ice tea I've seen isn't this nice of a color-
Here is Katie's room and the art ready for the walls. We are going to go look and hopefully get the carpet today, it will be nice and brown with flecks of other shades of brown. It is easier on the stuff that gets on the floor. Her room is all done but priming and painting the crown molding and the carpet. By next week she and Morgan should be moved back in! YEAH YEAH YEAH - That means one dresser out of the living room and all of her stuff boxes.
So a list of what has been accomplished thus far:
ripped out walls, took down lath and plaster, moved walls, put up insulation, put up walls, new windows in both bedrooms, new drywall, new texture on all surfaces but the floors, new light fixtures(we have bought since living here), all textured areas primed, Katie's room painted and screws in the floor to get rid of the squeaks, new crown molding, new base boards, a new large master closet and any think else you can think of we probably have done it.
Oh the joys of fixing up a house!
We will Survive and enjoy the results!

Wow! You guys are crazy and awesome! I can't believe all the work you are doing! The house is going to be amazing for sure when you're done.
You guys have done lots of work. We have been living in a nice old 1937 cottage for a year and the construction and remodeling is a seemingly endless chore! Taking the lath and plaster down sounds like a chore!! We try not to touch any walls in our house that are lath and plaster! Your little Katie's room looks so cute!!
