"Before" House Pictures

































So, these are some before pictures. The first picture is our living room/office. The wall color wasn't bad, but it was a horrible paint job. We repainted this room a little darker green. Sean's office is against the far wall, and eventually we'll put up a partition wall to separate it. This is also the room my baby grand will eventually go into!

The second picture is our family room and dining room. We are going to paint these walls a khaki color. We'll resurface the fire place with black slate tiles, recarpet the family room, and tile the dining room. The wall you can see on the right of the picture, "L's" around to the dining room. We are going to make that a half wall and turn it into a bar, with cabinet space on the other side. (This is the project I'm looking forward to the most!

The third picture is the spare bedroom. We painted all of these walls the same green as the living room (after removing about 100 staples from the walls.) We painted all of the brown, so the window trimmings, the closet doors, the hallway door and frame etc all white. We will replace the baseboards once we replace the carpet.

The next picture is Josh's bedroom that we painted blue and white. We did the white trimmings in this room too. We had to do 5-7 coats of primer over those ugly sunflowers. They wouldn't go away!!

The next picture is the master bedroom. We painted these walls a Creme Brulee brown. It is really pretty! I'll post the "after" pictures soon. We just need to get the house more organized first!

The last picture is our ugly kitchen wall. Yes, it's bright Salmon! We primed over it so we wouldn't have to look at it anymore, but we still don't know what color we are painting it! The kitchen is pretty nice though. Behind where I took the picture is the kitchen. It's hard to keep clean. That seems to be the central point of all the mess for some reason, but I'm sure we'll feel a sense of order someday soon!

Wow! You had some interesting colors to deal with just like us! Sounds like you have done A TON of work so far. I'm excited for you guys to continue to "make it your own place" ... it really is a great feeling to settle down into a new home.
