AFTER!

And now we finally have the "After" pictures :)  A lot of mid-summer sweat, blood and tears went into this project, and we have certainly learned a lot.  The most important thing that I learned is that we will NEVER EVER do our own insulation in the dead of summer again.  That was pretty excrutiating, I have to say.  Also, we turn into different (crabby) people when we were working on the remodel, so it's safe to say there will be a significant break before we take a stab at the kitchen! 

Thank you all for your support and for following the project!  We enjoyed blogging about it and we hope you enjoy the "after" photos :) 

And now - back to wedding planning!

Lots of love,
The Busy Bees

P.S.  Don't forget to go back to our very first post to compare the "before" and "after" shots.  It's been a dramatic change - both visually and in temperature :)  We are loving it upstairs so far!!

AFTER!  ...With the whole family!

  Up the stairs....with new paint on the walls and trim...

The new vanity, rug and mirror:

Brian finished and installed all of the shelving for our new storage cabinets.  Good job, honey!! 

And more of the shower...

And both closets:

Ginger wanted to be in a couple photos :)

Brian and I made this mirror - it was his idea and it turned out great!
