Living Room- Done with the House...whoo hoo!

These are backwards, but you'll get the drift. The first ones are the finished project. The before will follow after that. This is the final (Thank the Lord!) project in the Stegall household before big day.

New Flooring/Runner since Sugar cannot walk on the new floors very well...lol poor thing!



New Area Rug Sam decided on.

So Glad we are finished!!

Still not sure what is up with the little round things. I have cleaned my camera lens, still to no avail at getting rid of those things. Don't understand....

Front door area rug.

Sam laying the flooring. He had some great help, thanks to Will!

Sam rolling the floors with primer.

Old floors all covered now, ready to lay the new in a little bit.

Our house has been a mess!

Sam the Repairman!

Old Flooring... loved the real pine wood.. the dark pine showed so much dirt though, and the floors were buckling, we had to repair them.

Moisture and climate protecting.

Underneath the house, after Sam cut out the seriously buckled parts, to repair to put the new subfloor down.

After Sam put the repaired parts in.

and Goodwill for all....

Oh... I also have to blog about the funny little thing that happened today. In all of our activities that have been going on, I think Sam must have had a slight lapse of insanity. All that work and no rest will do that to you. He really has been working hard on the house, and has done such a great job. I just wish I could help more than I can right now. Well to my story...As we were getting Abigail's room set up this evening Sam suddenly remembered something from earlier today. I guess it was about the time I was looking at all the cute little shoes that we got for the baby when his memory was jogged. "Uh OH," he said. I brought a huge bag of shoes to the Goodwill today. "Oh really, ha, ha". I thought he was joking. No he wasn't joking he really did bring a bag full of shoes to the Goodwill today. I had a ton of garbage bags full of things to bring to the Goodwill this morning, clothes and such. We have also been living out of our living room during this remodel. Well needless to say I had a rubbermaid container with about 6 pairs of shoes in it that could fit in there, in shoeboxes, while every other pair of shoes I own were in a garbage bag, waiting to be put back in my closet after carpet was installed. The shoes weren't even near the other bags, but he thought the bag was supposed to go to Goodwill as well. We went by there this evening but they were lost in the abyss of Goodwill things probably never to be seen by me again. Alas it was too late. I did happen to find one pair of shoes that were mine, but all other pairs are lost forever. *sigh* oh well.... guess this is what kids do to ya. :)

Baby Room!! Yay

I'm sure there is still much left to do, but this is what we got done today. At least now we can see some progress.


Letters/Stool that Grammie made! Pink curtains Daddy picked out.


Crib, all set up.


This is the crib bumper that we got. There really is just a smorgasbord of colors in the bedroom. I think I like it much better that way. Of course the reigning theme color does happen to be PINK!

Here is a blanket Maw Maw made, and a bear from Misty that plays sounds.

The little seahorse like Maia has in the crib.

Corner shot of the room.

Still getting things organized.

The stool Grammie made.

We ended up getting this cube organizer thing today, because we could not decide what we were going to do. We have a dresser that is too bulky, and I wasn't really sure about this thing, but once we got it home and got it together it really works great! We can always go back and get the other one like it if we need to. This room is so small, and the cube organizer is very efficient, and doesn't take up very much space!

The crib, the personalized bag with Abigail Ruth on it, from Sheri @ work. And the Bouncer from Aunt Debra.

Cube organizer before we stuffed it full.

Sam and I posing in the room.

Patiently waiting.....

Guest Room/Sam's New Office

Sitting down for once this week...lol Finally "his" room is done too. :)

He picked out the curtains for the rooms, they all look great.

The baby's new room was Sam's old office so now here's his new one.

Master Bedroom...Redone!

New Carpet, New Curtains, New Headboard!


We just need to find a dust ruffle that matches...this will do for now.

New Carpet!

Finally...We're almost done!

Here are some more pictures of everything we have done to the rooms in the house. It looks so much better, new carpet is just like giving your house a facelife. I love it. Oh and the baby's room is coming along so nice. Now we just need her here to make it complete.

Getting Ready for Abigail's Arrival

Here are some misc Pictures of the work we've been doing to the house, pray we are finished before Abigail gets here!



This will be the baby's room. Sorry for the spots, I must need to clean off my camera lens. Sam wanted to do two different browns in this room. So one is a khaki color and the other is a light cocoa color. I think it's going to look cute with all the pink and green stuff.


Abigail's room again, this is after we have pulled all of the carpet up in the rooms.

Here is Sam painting the trim in the guest bedroom/office. We did the whole thing in the light khaki color. It really has turned out great! Sam's doing a really good job on everything. Poor thing it's been a lot of work to do in a short time. The floor under the carpent in this room happened to be this hideous linoleum.


Here are some decorations Whitney made for my shower. I am thinking about putting them in the baby's room as decor. But I'll see once we're a little bit closer to the decorating part.

Sorry the picture's are a little haphazard, it's just how I uploaded them. This is a headband that Sis. Heidi Coburn made for little Abigail. She made a ton of them. They are so sweet!

Here is a black one she made to go with one of the dresses she got us.

Here is the dress, Heidi gave us a ton of cute dresses too.

Ok back to the work part. Here is Sam on the flooring (yuck) in the guest room. Can't wait till we get the new carpet in.

Our lovely harwood flooring in the Master bedroom. After Sam got the carpet up in here, he decided that we needed to redo the walls too.

Here is his DIY mudwork. We're going to paint the khaki color in here too, and do the trim in a cream color.

More mudwork.

Hardwood floors in the baby's room. you can see the contrast of the two colors really well in this picture.

Sam was trying to see what the new carpet would look like with the walls in the Guest Room.

First run for the trim in the Guest Room.

The ceilings in the Baby room and guest room. Bro. Jerry and Sis. Roxie stomped them and mudded both rooms and repaired sheetrock in both rooms. They really look great. I wish we could do it throughout the entire house.
