Whew! OK... I'm sure I'm leaving something out. Also, know that every outlet/lightswitch will be changed out from "bisque" to white. Popcorn ceilings were removed in all rooms except for kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. And of course we'll be installing baseboards after the flooring is complete. Once a room is completed, I will publish a new post with pics!
