Extreme Home Makeover

Later this month is our 5 year anniversary, so we decided to get new couches as a gift. Our old couches are still in great shape so we handed them down to the newlyweds, Zach and Juliana, and got our gift a month early.

Here are Jared and Caleb playing on the old couches a couple years back...


and here are the new ones!


We have been needing a bigger table and lucky for us, Zach and Juliana were also given a couple of old tables and one didn't fit in their apartment so they gave it to us. It was in need of some "updating" so we went to work on it.


We also found some old chairs in need of repair and refinishing and added them to the project.


Cole was as involved as he could be in the whole process.


Here is a completed chair next to an old one waiting its turn.


Here is the table BEFORE we started...

and AFTER some dust, sweat, and fumes.



Now we've noticed a couple other old pieces of furniture that are crying out for some attention...
