Tribute to Halifax

I love looking back and seeing how we transformed our first "fixer upper". We loved having projects together and learned so much. In the 2 1/2 years we lived there we (mostly Jody) painted almost every surface of the house including ceilings, walls, baseboards, cupboards, doors, fireplace, and yes even the bathroom counters and shower. I LOVE to paint!!! As a tribute to our "first home" step inside our front door and take a tour (I will post pics everday)

During:

The whole house got a flooring overhaul. Kirk and my brother took up all the terracota tile and we paid to have new tile and carpet installed (well worth the money-we wish we would have paid someone to do the demo as well)

The house came with popcorn... ceilings that is. Kirk, my brother, and I personally scraped, textured, primed, and painted ALL the ceilings.
