Our wood floor is complete! Yeah! I won't bore you with all the pictures of the house, but I wanted to at least show some of the rooms upstairs that we did the most work on.
Here's our entryway BEFORE
white walls, gold hardware, ugly tile floors
 and AFTER
The flash kind of makes the walls look a bit yellow but they are crisp kaki. We painted the entire house this color (and all needed several coats because of the weird crazy colors they had!) We put hardwood floors in the entire upstairs and carpet in the 3 bedrooms upstairs along with the basement and also switched out all the gold hardware for satin
This is the white wall you would see when you walked into the front door with carpet too(and 2 closets along the wall) BEFORE

 AFTER
 directly to the right of the front door when you come in is this little sitting room
BEFORE
 AFTER
This is the living room and kitchen. It had a little carpet and then laminate floors in the kitchen which really made the little living room too small to use. That's one of the main reasons why we wanted the wood floors, to make it all one big room. You can also see how the cabinets in the kitchen were all one level on top
BEFORE
 AFTER
In the kitchen Kevin added a water line to the fridge, gas line to the stove (and laundry), electric for an over range microwave, moved a few cabinets up so they weren't all the same, put knobs on all the cabinets and we also got new appliances
 BEFORE
 AFTER
 the fridge Kevin wanted was the biggest fridge you can buy lol so we actually also had to take out the door to the pantry and put in an accordian one instead
 the little living room (you can see how tiny it was with the carpet)
BEFORE
AFTER
(We are going to hide the tv cords and have since decorated with a plant and pictures, etc. and gotten rid of the wood floor boxes too :)
 
BEFORE
 AFTER
 Also upstairs:
 Our master was a dark olive green along with the bathroom, Ari and Baby rooms had walls and the bathroom was almost an orange color. We painted everything, put new carpet, added knobs to all the cabinetry in the bathrooms and replaced all the doorknobs and we also put in blinds throughout the whole house (bought online and did ourselves- so much cheaper!)
Downstairs:
The carpets were all forest green! Actually Hailey's carpet was purple and Scott's walls were lime green and his trim and doors were painted purple (seriously people!). The guest room had wallpaper too that was oh so fun to take down so of course we painted all of downstairs and got new carpet and changed the doorknobs and cabinet knobs.
 I had to add a picture of why Hailey and Scott wanted us to buy this house so bad- "the secret hideout door" that connects Hailey's walk-in closet to Scott's walk-in closet. They love it!
Kevin has been working crazy amounts of hours at work and I know he wasn't thrilled about working on the house every night once he finally came home, but he did it and we are super excited it's done! Thanks Kevin for all your hard work!!!! :)
