The Before Pictures
Here they are. The pictures that will make you appreciate "the after" oh-so much more. Enjoy!

View of the living room from the family room. Down the hall are the bedrooms and baths. Cedar ceilings, or possibly heart of pine, in need of a scrubbing, are throughout the living room and kitchen.

Yeah... a fireplace. It actually gets chilly in Central Florida in the winter. (Those of you in Michigan can stop smirking, thank you very much.)

This was a carport that one of the former owners enclosed. Badly. This will be the future dining and family room. Two sets of French doors are to the right.

The kitchen in desperate need of triage. This picture doesn't really show how hideous this room is. (Be thankful.)

You just can't appreciated yellow tiles until you see this bathroom. FYI: Those are floor tiles on top of linoleum that's glued on top of terrazzo. Yeow!

I don't know who thought this was stylish. Satan?
Yeah, we have a lot of work before us.

Alas, I doubt Craig could have a healthy bowel movement sitting on a pink toilet.
It will be available at our yard sale, along with the green basin from the guest bathroom.

At least my pink bathroom toilet, sink, and bathtub are combined with seafoam green tile, which doesn't look *too* bad (still horrible, though.) What WERE they thinking?!

I don't think that the before pictures are really that horrific. Although, I am missing the part of my brain that controls style and sophistication...you should see my house! I LOVE the cedar ceilings, though!

Oh, that's a lot of work to do. But, yeah, it's not that bad. I can't wait to see how everything turned out!
