Since we moved into our house we've been very busy with various projects. We've been asked to take some pictures of our house so far. Again, I'm not very good at taking "before" shots. But that said, our projects aren't completely finished so hopefully we'll have some better "after" pictures to show soon.

Here is the exterior. Our shutters are now black, and we painted our door a very dark blue to replace the maroon. I'm excited to find a cute Fall wreath to put on the door. We are hoping to do more with the yard next year. But until then this will have to do.

Here are the stairs that go to the living room/kitchen. This project took quite a bit of time. We ripped up carpet, installed new wood stair treads and risers, sanded and stained the handrail to match the stairs and painted the trim and spindles white.

 Here is a view from above of our entryway. I still need to paint the doors, and the walls are going to get painted a new color. We'd also like to build a small bench to put against the right wall and I'd like to add some wainscoting as well. 

When we moved in, the carpet was in rough shape and the kitchen had vinyl flooring. So we replaced it with this new flooring.

 

Here is another view of our living room. We also built the TV stand that you seen in the right corner. (I'll get more pictures later.) Also I'd like to paint in here. There are some paint samples on the wall; not sure why I haven't taken them down.

Here is our dining area. Those are chairs I painted and reupholstered. I'm just waiting to get a table that I really like. I want a farmhouse table similar to this one: http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod370026&categoryId=cat500016.  Also, you see that mirror? Well my friends, that is the only thing hanging on our walls (besides curtains) so far. So that may be why you hadn't seen many pictures of our house yet.
Anyway, that's all for today even though I know you're all dying for more hahaha.
