We did a lot of work last year to get the house where it is right now - and when I say "we" I mostly mean Chris. But at this point, we've done the big stuff. Now it's just painting of the trim, probably need some new windows at some point, but nothing earth shattering, so I thought it would be good to just get all the "before" and "after" pics right now...
Here's the entryway and living room when the previous owners had it. I've probably posted these before but I might as well just do the whole house again :)
The above picture is when you first walk into the house. The previous owners had a weird combination of Americana/Southwest decor. Maybe that's why everything was bright orange or yellow.
Here's the "after" shot of that one.
We painted the walls a Weimeraner (like the dog), I know I didn't spell that right. We painted the paneling white, and the closet part, to the left, is a Smokey Taupe.
Above, here is the previous owner's entry way. Front door is to the left. If you look closely, they have two cross-stitched gnome pillows on the couch. Random.
Here's our living room/entryway/front hall after:
If you look closely, the quilt is courtesy of Grandma Shauna, and there is a stuffed dog or something from my childhood. Also courtesy of Grandma Shauna. There is a New York skyline hanging in the entryway, courtesy of Aunt Valery, and some other random stuff on the wall.
So much work, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat stuffed from you childhood, I think, was actually made by mother. It's an antique, very valuable.
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, I left out a few words there. That stuffed -animal - was actually made by - my- mother. I guess you could call it antique.
