The "before" pics


Stephen's office

Kids' bath -the teal definitely had to go!

Kept the red front door -love it!

This became our flower bed. Stephen took a chainsaw to the tree. I worked inside; even thinking about it made me weak-kneed.

We chose a similar (though more olive) shade of green to save from having to do two coats


Kids' room

Our room (It may look like the hall, study, kids room and our room are the same color, but I counted three different shades. Some of them used all in the same room.)

The most dramatic change. That thing was a bear to paint, let me tell you. Two different primers and an oil-based paint that refused to come off my skin for days -ouch!

We went to war with the shelving unit armed with an electric screwdriver and won. Note the plethora of bathroom accessories. It seems the previous owners were beginning a toiler paper holder collection.
