Nice, hey?! And it's still not done...we hope to renovate the kitchen and put in tile and laminate flooring in the main living areas, but we have been blessed enough with what has been done so far...the rest can wait! We are definitely enjoying the steps that are being taken to make this house our "home"! It's been a fun journey so far... stay tuned for more! (:

Wow, once again you guys have truly outdone yourselves! It looks wonderful!! You both have such fantastic taste and a real eye for detail. But why did you change the hot pink in the master bedroom? I thought it was definitely a "keeper"!! :o)

Hey Lisa,
Wow, your place looks great. We are finally doing renovations to our place as well, but we have lived here for almost 7 years! You guys did a great job. I wish I could have seen those painted kitchen cabinets a long time ago. I have been trying to convince Henry that we should have done the same thing, until we could afford to do it properly, but he never saw the use :( But now we are going to get it all redone, so I am happy :) Enjoy your new place...and have lots of fun making new memories in your home! Take care,
Julia Meerveld

Looks really good, Lisa! I love the fireplace! Do all the houses in BC have a stucco exterior? Anyways, take care and keep on making houses look good!

Thanks for the comments, everyone!
Amazing what a little paint can do (the kitchen and fireplace) For all of you out there who don't think it is worth it to paint cabinets, trust me, it makes a BIG difference and only takes a few hours...you will actually like to be in your kitchen and will not be embarrassed to show it to guests! (;
And Deb, not all houses are stucco, actually most of them have wood siding. You don't see much brick here like in Ontario! The siding gets mossy and rotten from all the rain, so most newer houses have aluminum siding or stucco. We hope to paint ours...white is too dirty looking and hard to maintain in BC. Any suggestions for an exterior colour? We're painting the trim black.
