Before and Afters of a Looooong Project

Really there is nothing huge about this little project that we have literally had going on for 6 months. But....we are so glad it is finally done and makes what felt like an apartment feel more like a home.

As for our room..we have had the furniture for a long time now but just needed a "little" color on the walls, some curtains, and a few things to hang. Again, I bought the stuff for the walls here and there months ago and a new bedspread about a year ago so this has been a slow transformation but it is finally basically complete and way more warm(and when you really spread it out it is almost like it costs nothing;)! I have to say I usually go a little more bold with colors but we think we may move in the next year or so so I had to play it safe. It still made a big difference:)

BEFORE OTHER SIDE OF ROOM

AFTER..Not a huge change here but the curtains and a slight tint to the walls makes it much warmer!


6 months ago we had ceramic tile laid in our upstairs baths to replace the fancy linoleum that the builders put in (Thanks to a nice donation from the in laws!) Then we started painting....and Hubster was able to finally finish the painting in our bath two weekends ago. He painted our lovely oak cabinets a nice grayish color too and this weekend he framed the mirror. After a few Ikea shelves a couple of pictures that I probably bought a year ago(not kidding) and replacing the cheapy plastic hand towel holders I think it looks and feels a ton better!
I don't have any before of the bath but you can imagine, white linoleum, white walls, plastic towel holders, and no frame around the mirror or accessories...bla!
