Yes,this is what we started out with here,it was pretty bad.It was a very, old mobile home,14x74 ft with a small addition which made it around 950 sq.ft.My husband had vision,I didn't.It took us a few years but it is almost done now.It is now over 1800 sq.ft. and completely different,thank God.I don't have many before pictures,my husband took these.He did all the work,he has been in the construction trade for many years but it was still quite the undertaking even with his knowledge.
He added a new peaked roof over the whole place,new windows,new,well,to be honest,everything is new.We paid for it all as we went and we don't owe a cent and it feels great.I love my home now and wouldn't want to be anywhere else,it's perfect for the two of us and our fur family.For today I will just show you the kitchen and dining room and in time I will proudly show you every room he made.The new part has the high ceilings,the original part,the lower ones.
someday the plan is to have all stainless steel appliances,I can wait
the pantry by the fridge has rollout shelves
I love my tumbled marble and the undercabinet lights and I was so happy to find just what I wanted for hardware at Rona.The cabinets,they are alder, are from Euro-rite(canadian company) and my husband custom made the crown molding.
A closeup of some of the details
I chose to have one big sink here and a smaller prep sink is located on peninsula with dishwasher next to it.I love my bridge taps too.
looking into the dining room ,I love the arches my son made for me.
the soaring ceiling in the dining room
had to show you my chandy,bought from costco,it was bronze,I wanted it black so sprayed it
the dining room
This door will lead to a new deck(hopefully it will be built this summer) in our back yard.Just around the corner past the arch to the right of the dining room,I even managed to get a bonus walk in pantry.

That is an amazing transformation for you two to be very proud of! I just love your kitchen. You have so much space. The cabinetry is beautiful.
Cyndi, you know how much I love this kitchen. I just can't get over the transformation. I don't think I'd really seen the before pix. The amount of work that went into this is amazing, you and your family did an incredible job. What a sense of accomplishment. Hugs, Kathy
Fabulous makeover!!
WOW
I can't believe all you guys did! This looks amazing!
I have always loved your kitchen, but it is even more amazing after seeing the "before" pictures. Just a beautiful transformation. Makes it all the sweeter, doesn't it? It is hard to believe it is the same space.
Cyndi, everytime I see the before pictures I just can't believe the difference in your place. You know I LOVE your kitchen. I think your DH did such an amazing job with all the moldings and you do have such a talent with picking out the right combinations of fixtures and accessories. Your DR is so bright and airy and the deck off of it will be the crowning touch. I love the decorations you chose. Just an unreal transformation. Hugs, Marty
Now that's what I call a metamorphesis! Fantastic Job on both of your parts.
Cyndi, this was an amazing transformation.I can see why you love your home it is wonderful.I love you kitchen and the arch is such a wonderful architectural feature.You have a home and a husband to be proud of.It is truly amazing,and we all know how yummy it smells with all your essential oils.Hugs to you my dear friend,Kathysue

There is nothing like a NEW and WONDERFUL kitchen! ENJOY!
WOW!! now this is the best one I have seen today...what vision your hubby had and its just one word BEAYTIFUL...and I so remeber you from RMS..girl thanks so much for sharing your wonderful home...hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
I would never in a million years guess that that's a mobile home!! You and your hubby have done some amazing work. It took a lot of vision to see what could be done with the house you started off with!!
I really like the pendants over your peninsula. Your wood cabinets are nice too. And the arches are great.
You've added a lot of extra little details to your house that really stand out. Great job!!

Cyndi,
What a remarkable job you have done! Everything is just gorgeous and so well designed. I certainly is hard to believe the elegant transformation! I love it!

Hi Cyndi
Your place looks beautiful! You are so lucky your husband is able to do all this work so that you can get it just the way you want it. I can't imagine it doesn't look anything like it did before. The detailing is really something. Wow! You MUST love it for sure.
I'm sorry you had to work today...I didn't realize or maybe I should have realized that all of Canada got this day off as Family Day. Well each province I mean.
Odd that your grocery stores are open. Ours are not. The malls are closed too. They've posted it that way all week so there is a bit of a difference then.
Well..I hope it was a shorter day for you and you can sit back and enjoy yourself this evening.

thanks for sharing

Incredible transformation! Your kitchen looks awesome! Congratulations! laurie
OH, what a transformation! Everything is so beautiful! I know you just must love this. Your kitchen is truly beautiful. I love the beautiful molding above your window and to think y'all did this yourself and don't owe a penny! Good job! Love your chandy in the dining room, too. I can't wait to see the rest of your lovely home.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Hi there! My first time here, and WOW! I can't believe thats the same place, it's BEAUTIFUL!!!!! You are very lucky your hubby is so talented, and I love all your precious doggies!!!!
Hi Cyndi :-)
I love your kitchen! Everything is so beautiful - your cabinetry colour, the hardward you've chosen, your lighting (love how you spray-painted the brass chandi - looks fantastic!), the details incorporated by hubby/son (archway, vaulted ceiling, etc.)... just fab!!
Sad about Micasa closing, hey? :-(
Hope all is well with you!
Victoria @ DesignTies
Cyndi!! I didn't recognize your face but I sure recognized your kitchen!! I'm so happy you found my blog so I could find yours! I see what you mean about your hubby being handy! What an AMAZING transformation!! Man I thought mine was good lol! And what a wonderful feeling to have zero house payment! I am envious my friend! *winks* Just beautiful! Vanna
Hi again! I love meeting new friends from all over! Thanks for the tip on the furminator, I've never heard of it but will check into finding one. My german shepherd sheds so bad in the spring, I usually use a shedding blade on her OUTSIDE, even at that we both end up covered in hair! Nice to meet you!
this is wonderful!!!! You did a fantastic job!!!!
I love all the details!
the weather here in Red Deer has been very mild...for the most part this month...ya think we are in for "it"?
Hi Cyndi!Hope your having a great day. For the dirty pears, all you need are some cheap plastic pears, apples would work too. Just paint them with modge podge or craft glue, then while they're still wet, sprinkle like crazy with ground cinnamon, let dry on a rack of some sort and ...Viola...dirty pears! If you sprinkle over a bowl, you can reuse the cinnamon you get and you don't waste as much. Have fun! Oh- I found a pet catalog that sells furminator I'll probably order me one next payday!!!
Cyndi, I have an award for you, so come by and pick it up. LOVE you, hugs, Marty
Your husband had quite the vision! And what amazing work he did. Your home is beautiful and you must be so proud of it.
~Michelle
Oh my gosh!!Wha a gorgeous transformation!!!!

He's back at the naughty comments there....on my page and others! Glad you're here and thanks for stopping by to see the pups! Your slide show makes me cry! I always think of the commercial on TV to that song! The sad one because no one wants those animals! Sad!
