Malnar Renovation

I must say that whilst it is exciting to DIY on your house...it can be very very frustrating, exhausting, dusty & super messy.

We have been working on our house fairly diligently for a couple months now.

To begin the rennovation...or should I say...transformation, I started priming the woodwork in the living room.


We scraped the popcorn ceiling (used a water hose to soften it beforehand) and then....



began putting a knockdown texture up. Goes by so much faster with a spray texture gun as opposed to stomping by hand.


Ryan geared up for some hard labor.


Keedan excited that we are making progress.


New ceiling texture is complete, now we need some paint. +


This is our Hallway....the woodwork was stained brown but after some primer and lovely paint it is now dazzling. Of course, you will see the painted part later.

This is our entryway. The wall had wallpaper but I (Amanda)managed to get most of it off with some of my awesome muscles.


Here is part of the entryway wall (Ryan was able to make the opening straight in lieu of a curved opening) and part of the living room that is mostly complete...we now need to put down the flooring and do some touching up.

We hope you enjoyed our Sneek Peek. Stay tuned for more pictures of our Before and After coming very very soon ;)

Looking great guys! Welcome to our world! I agree that it can be stressful while you are in the middle of construction - but it is oh so worth it when it is done! Keep up the great work - and Merry Christmas!
