All right, all right.
So the deal is, we still have a few small things to do that make the before and afters incomplete (i.e., replace the ugly chandelier in the entryway, put up shelves in Ben's studio, put up mirrors in the downstairs and guest bathrooms, etc.).
But overall, our home is liveable and pretty, and we're happy. I'll continue to update each weekend with any progress we've made. And I guess when we're done, I'll have to post pictures of the cats or something.
Okay, so here we go.

Ben's studio before:
And now. It's still kind of a mess in there but, let's be honest, it will probably always be somewhat of a mess. We also still need to get the blinds.
