Ceilings (updated picture)

Christa has been scraping our popcorn ceilings for the last week or so. We are still at it tonight taking care of our tallest ceiling. It's only 19 feet tall.

Kitchen - Before

We are happy to have a new house but we are doing some serious work on it before we move in.  Here is an example of what we are doing with our kitchen.
Before:

A few days ago:

It's not easy work and we would have liked to buy a turn-key house but we simply can't afford the house we want without putting in a little (or a lot) of hard work first.

Christa has spent all week scraping popcorn texture off our ceilings.  She is working so hard to make the house a place we want to live for several years to come.

Our First House

It needs some work but we'll get there. We feel tremendously blessed.
