Some of you may remember when I bought my current house, this is what it looked like:

Well, we've done a few updates:

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

    Thanks. I am very proud of that addition. I decided to add that this year in celebration of Independence day. At a later date, I hope to erect a larger flag pole.

    Looks good! Let me guess the hard wood floors were covered up in carpet? Seen a ton of older homes like that were unfinished prime wood was just waiting to be exposed 60 years later.

    No, my wife and I installed them. I did a thread on that a while back.

    About the only thing I can lay claim to (design/taste-wise), is the wood flooring and the flag pole.

    Nice job. I like the colors. And the white trim around the windows really makes the windows look bigger and just pop a little. I never really liked white trim indoors, but I'm starting to like it. It looks really nice in your house.

    Thanks. Yes, I am redoing all the trim. My wife decided she wanted to change all the white doors to black. I was a bit resistant to that change at first, but I love it. I have a picture of them that I will see if I can get uploaded here in a bit.

    If true, then you are never going to be "done" with her projects.
    But what you two have done so far looks great.

    Very nice home; the changes made for a nice upgrade!

    Is that verse over the entry to your dinning room a derivation of Colossians 1:17?

    Yes. It is the NIV translation; one verse those guys translated more accurately, IMO.
