1 2 3 Magic...(Take 2)

Just wanted to share some of the progress that I have made on our list of house renovation projects. I have been working my tail off and I am really enjoying the fruits of my labors.

BEFORE: The first project which brings MUCH happiness is the fact that I FINALLY found a new light for my dining room table!

Bling BE GONE!

AFTER:

Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Do you also experience the calm, like I do when I see this picture?

Guest Bedroom Before:
Missing from this picture is the Hello Kitty Border that was around the top of the room and the yellowed mini blinds that had what looked like 10 years of dust mites on them.


After:

I primed and painted all of the doors and trim, painted the walls, Ripped down the wallpaper boarder, took out the mini blinds and patched the holes, mounted the curtain rods, hemmed and hung the curtains! I am working on a new bed and a new bedding ensemble (something less traditional) but that is down on the priority list of to do's. The quilt has sentimental value and so I'll keep it for now. ;)

Isn't it amazing what a little paint can do?

More to come! I finished the paint in the Den and I am just working on the finishing touches there.... so I will post pictures when I am done. I am still painting the game room and stair rail. Weston & his brother just got the marble laid in the powder room but it is still torn apart. Will post pics of those soon too! :) Enjoy!

Looks wonderful! I am going to have to call you for your tips on doing doors. I am scared to do mine for some reason, but they NEED doing.

Everything is looking so good. Maybe I'll start painting too. Your house is going to be so beautiful when it's all done. Wow. I'm totally impressed.
