And now I am remodeling my new home, it was beaten up a bit inside so I have had to do some real chores to get it where I want it to be just to move in.
The paint was horrid, so i am repainting all three bedrooms and the living room, hallway and kitchen and bathroom. This is my biggest task so far, so i am going to post some before and after photos of the house as I work on it (for this interested)
A rundown of before:
Living room and hallway are a really bad blue color,
One bedroom is pale yellow
One bedroom is purple and white spatter style paint
One bedroom is pink with dark red/mauve trim.
All rooms had high gloss paint instead of a satin finish...bleech!

I have bow painted two bedrooms completely, and the living room, the ceilings in one bedroom, and the ceilings in the hallway and the living room as well. The hallway is primered and ready to paint the final color, all trim in the house except the pink bedroom has been redone as well.

My youngest daughter wanted a green in her room, I went with a nuetral sort of dark tan color and my oldest daughter wanted blue. The Living room, bathroom, hallway and kitchen will al lbe a tan/khaki color.

Painted my daughters ceiling, patched the hole in her room, need to finish mudding it up and smoothing it out. Painted the doors in the living room to match the walls, which I think looks a lot better! Also finished painting all of the living room, and hallway and stripped the bathroom of the wallpaper and it is ready to paint as well!
And now the latest pics:

I also tossed all the metal bi-fold doors on the closets and bought some wood ones to replace them, I hate metal doors in a house...yeech! Put up some of my venetian blinds as well this weekend, more work to do , but it is coming along well..
