Before and Afters


This house we bought was a foreclosure and it did not show well. I  saw past the horrible colors and bad carpet and saw the potential it had. So for the last couple months we have been working on getting it more livable and we are finally getting more settled in. What a difference new carpet and paint will do! The first room I painted was the dinning room because it was the ugliest room I have ever seen! And no thats not wood paneling, they painted it to look like wood paneling! So awful! So we painted it Wedgewood blue and I love it!

Next we tackled this dark dreary kitchen. We painted the cabinets white which took a very long time but made such a huge difference! This is one of the blogs I used for the cabinets. We also painted the grout since it was black. http://www.iheartnaptime.net/kitchen-makeover/

We tore down this wall and it feels so much more open and bright!

We then painted the family room and kitchen Grey Owl but used Behr Paint and were very happy with the way it came out.
