Another room bites the dust!

The living room is now finished!!! Most of the work was done back in the summer but there was still a 2nd coat of paint on a few things that had to be finished.


To get a true feel for how far the room has come, you need to look at the before picture. Yucky wood paneling walls, fireplace with no mantle, spindles on the stair opening, yuck, yuck, yuck!


I textured over the paneling so the lines are gone. I then painted the walls and used a stain over that where I made the texture stand out. In the picture it just looks like funny lines but in person it is accentuating the texture.



Another before picture. This house has awesome storage but the built in bookcase just looked terrible!


Here is a picture looking toward the kitchen area and you can see that the bookcase now stands out. It also amazed me the difference that was made when we added the mantle.


Now we are moving on to the bathrooms! This weekend we are going to tile over the floor in the hall bathroom. This house has four bathrooms which is great but they are all SCARY! Here are a few before pictures so you can get an idea of what I am dealing with. I will make sure and post the after pictures as soon as each one is finished!

Here is the hall bath that we are doing first. Ben and I actually use this the most because it is larger than the master bath.


This is the master bath.



This is the bathroom off of the laundry room. I need to take a better picture of the worst bathroom which is the upstairs guest bath. Just think baby blue tile..... everywhere!
