The Masser Story

ok...major selling point! the house the Lord led us to has this great pool and hot tub! here in this part of the country you can swim from April to October, so it gets good use! Hot tub you can use year round. Now you REALLY want to visit, huh?

Ok, huge other selling point! This addition is fabulous! It's an enclosed sunroom off the dining room / kitchen (we've discovered that here you don't call them "Florida rooms." ha!). It is like 18' x 24'. We call it the "Ballroom" or the "Billiard Room". hee hee. It opens to the backyard where the pool is. Lots of fabulous light!

This is London's pink room "before." We called it the "fecal faux painting" job. It was covering up lots of holes in the wall; we had a lot of drywall patching to do here (our guy did great!).

Fabulous faux paint continues in old hall bath......needed lots of TLC


This was the girls' initial vote on the house. You should have smelled it. Like 20 wet dogs were locked up for weeks at a time.........

Process underway! LR has been scraped and textured....awaiting the lovely new paint job! (same color as old one .... Claudia loved it!) We were so blessed to have a painting contractor in our church who handled the job for us!

Here begins Sydney's stripe idea. Both girls got to totally pick their colors / themes. They were thrilled! Our little "green" Syd wants blue and green - all about nature. And conservation. Reuse! Reduce! Recycle!

Our youngest princess wants to be pretty in pink. We were literally blinded by the pink glow once the walls were done! Would you believe mom talked her out of picking RED!?

Sorry if you needed to use the restroom......it's kinda under construction! Hall bath needs new tub kit, and here we have removed old nasty comode, and Marshall is scraping the 3 layers of peel and stick floor off. Luckily there are extra lovely tiles in the garage we can put down here...

We put up all new fixtures, thanks the the wonderful help of our electrician friend from church! The inspector got a kick out of the interesting fixtures before we replaced them. One ceiling fan was held up in the attic by a crutch (literally) as its brace. And it had a sock stuffed in it to keep it steady. Well, that's safe! Here is a shot of our bedroom with the "accent wall" in the background.

This is where you can rest your head when you come visit! Our guest room is up and running and we've already had one guest! We're ready for YOU!

Warm and cozy guest / hall bath. We were able to salvage the white cottage vanity from before. Otherwise, it's all new. New tile, new shower/bath, new toilet, new mirror, etc. It's beautiful! Thanks to my friend Brenda for the lovely paint color ideas!

Sydney wants to create a "rain forest" feel in her room....She's got the blue sky / waters, and the green stripe for vegetation. It's a fun work in progress! Since this pic, we've added lots of artificial greenery too. We're thinking maybe a mural someday too.

Little Miss London must have her pink room! It was quite overwhelming before the furniture helped cut the glow. She LOVES her room and her crazy high loft bed. Believe me, she's a born mountain climber, and she's right at home up there!

Our gorgeous living room! Claudia loved the cocoa wall color (its' edible! not!), and Marshall laid the amazing Brazilian Cherry floors. Woo woo!
