I have been gone too long.

Well, like most bloggers who just abandon their blogs for almost a year, I have to start out by saying I MISSED YOU.

Where have  I been?

We bought a house the same time I quit writing. It was a fixer-upper, and any and all extra time has been put into getting our home completed. This project has been a complete remodel, a complete head to toe makeover if you will. We are almost done! We have two, full baths left and crown molding to add. I think the best way for me to describe things is just to show you some before and after shots.

Since these photos were taken, we have since removed the bubble light fixtures and changed them out to recessed lighting. It looks so much nicer! We still have to paint all the trim and all the doors, but after that, we should be done downstairs. WOOHOO!

We have also added all new carpet, baseboards and painted the entire upstairs. Once we have the bathrooms up there remodeled, I will either update this blog or do another. If I don't venture away too long, again. Until then ... <3 Long Lost Jen
