Our Orem Condo Beautification

We finally arrived back to Utah about 2 weeks ago, and it has been hectic ever since. We decided to tackle a bunch of projects before we moved all our stuff from the Pleasant Grove house, and it's still not even done, but it's looking lots better...

This was our main family room right when you walk in, and not only is it small, but it had this cheap ceiling fan, broken blinds, and dinged up walls, all from previous renters, so since we own it, we decided to fix it how we want it!! SOOO we took several trips to Home Depot for paint and whatnot.

We painted the walls a light brownish color, and this is Aaron and Bennett trying to take the crappy fan down, which they replaced with a nicer wood one. And OILA, we have a new family room. This green looking dresser holding the TV really is a dresser from Aaron's childhood, it was bright blue, and we tried to at least fix it, and it works, so we were glad to not have to spend ANY money whatsoever on new furniture in our place. Aaron also put up these blinds. We had some difficulties with projects as almost everything Aaron attempted ended up not working right, and we made SEVERAL returns to Home Depot and Walmart.Our kitchen was kinda blah, so we ended up painting that too and getting some stuff on the walls.

We copied our friends, Ryan and Tasha, and got this massive mirror form IKEA this week, and we love it. We're just missing chairs, so we ordered those also for our kitchen yesterday.
Our blue bedroom.. we had some issues with the paint, since it was the first room we did and we didn't know we were supposed to pull the tape off right away, and the paint peeled in spots. Unless you look up close, it still looks pretty! I never was a fan of blue but somehow I don't mind our new room.

Cute place guys! I really like the paint job in the front room. Isn't fun to play house? :)
