We're only documented two of those rooms here (the bathroom and foyer) and I think it's about time I changed that.
Because everyone loves a good before and after picture, here are ours.
Living Room - Before:
Curtains that aren't long enough or lined. Yellow walls. Spackle and putty spots all over the walls.
And After:
We kept the couches, unfortunately. They're just too comfortable to give up right now. We painted the walls builder beige and the ceiling a shimmery brown. New lined curtains and pictures are on the walls.
Office - Before:
This is the day we moved in. Nothing much to report here. Some more trim to patch from the old HVAC and more yellow walls. Hooray.
And After:
We painted the stripes with the same paint from the ceiling of the living room since they are adjacent to one another. Still need a new rug and curtains but for now, we're calling it done.
Dining Room - Before:
Those damn yellow walls were everywhere plus more trim patching from old HVAC and termite damage. This room shows the most dramatic change but was also the most work.
After:
New light fixture, new paint, added wanescotting up two thirds of the wall with a picture rail topping it off, and crown molding underneath. Plus new curtains. I'm not completely pleased with the curtain rod length or the tablecloth but from where we've come - this is my favorite room in the house now.
Kitchen - Before:
This room is entirely new in this photo. Remember there was no kitchen when we moved in. In this photo, we've already added knobs to the cabinets but our new fridge hasn't been delivered yet.
After:
We added a copper back splash, painted the walls chocolate brown, rearranged some of the counter top appliances, added shelving, and one behemoth of a fridge. I'm still on the hunt for curtains.
Now you've seen everything that's worth taking a picture of - soon (hopefully) we'll be before and aftering the bedroom.
