Mom and Dad's Transformation

So we have done a lot of work in my parents' house (where I grew up). They have owned this house for 30 years and it has a lifetime of memories! I would not change my childhood for anything!
My mom loves wallpaper so she had wallpapered almost every room. If it didn't have wallpaper it had some kind of border to accent the paint. She surely hates plain painted walls!

These are all pictures of what we have done over the past month or so. They had surely accumulated 30 years worth of stuff! Time to downsize!!
Here are some before and after pictures of each room! (Some after pictures will come in about 2 weeks! Also all the carpet was replaced so that will be when I posted to showing photos!)

Living Room

Glenn's old room which then became Debbie's room.
When I took the desk off the wall I found Star Wars wallpaper remnant from Glenn's childhood! When Debbie moved in she painted it dark green and of course there is a border to match!

(Left/Top) The tile flooring that we used to have before they put carpet in the eat-in kitchen area.
(Right/Bottom) An old chair we have had forever that my mom has recovered a few times!
The reason for all of this you may ask is they are moving! The house no longer has 7 people living there and is too big for them now. They will be looking for a single level house near me in Greensboro, NC! It will definitely be a big change!
I think Chris and I are just as ready for the move as they are!

Thank you to Bud and Kathy Hastings, Sue and Dennis Evans, and all other friends that have given up their time to help us in this endeavor!
