For those who don't know, when we walked into our new house on closing day, the kitchen and living room were flooded. So we had to get new floors. And we had some serious painting to do. The living room had wood paneling, which is...unacceptable. And two of the bedrooms had really dark paint. Acutally one of the rooms had a black accent wall. I know. In fairness to the previous owners, with their decor, it looked really nice, but we couldn't pull that off. And didn't want to. So here are some before and after shots.
By the way, we did all the priming and painting in one marathon day, finished at 2:30am. And we couldn't have done it without the help of my sister Alison, brother-in-law Bill, and the Miles. Thank you guys very much.

It's hard to tell, but that's light blue paint.

Wow, Jen! Great job! By the way, Kim told me the new home is in Martin. What part? I am in Martin nearly every weekend visiting Mom and Granny. Would love to swing by sometime to visit!
Wow! That was one amazing day of painting and house-improving. :) I love having everything in place in a new living space. Enjoy your new house! (And Martin is the best! You'll like it. Cool people live there. ;))
Holy Transformation, Batman! It looks incredible!! I'm so glad that you agree with me that wood panneling is UNACCEPTABLE. John does not. Our living room has wood panneling under the paint and John is DYING to strip the paint and restore the panneling. He is perpetually stuck in the 70's and it drives me crazy!
My favorite transformation is where you got rid of the white-trash porch chair and replaced it with the nice rocker.
Congrats on such a beautiful home.
dang that is awesome!! i love it. im sure u are so happy it is done and coming together..
