Two years ago TODAY I did something wild. Something crazy. Something absolutely adult and responsible (wait what?). Ya that's right folks...I bought a house. In the past two years my family and friends have very generously has helped with many many projects on this little fixer upper...I'm going to let the pictures tell the story. (keeping in mind that there was NO wallpaper in the house...it was all paint)
bathroom...
really who cements rocks (yes actual rocks) onto a bathroom wall???
dining room...

living room...

and not to mention the repainting of the hallways, bedrooms, ripping up green shag carpet on the upstairs landing and orange shag carpet out of the basement, finding bees nests underneath the floor of the former closet in the breezeway, rotting garage doors, complete window replacement, and so much more still to do!!!
I am in awe of your amazingness. Plus, you have quite the awesome crew of volunteers! You're one lucky gal. :)
