Home Improvements

I took three days off work to do some major painting around the house. I got about 90% done with what I wanted to accomplish. Here are some before and after pictures....Unfortunately the lighting isn't great for some of these because I took them while dark out. The house just doesn't remain in order during Tyler's waking hours! :)

The kitchen went from a terra cotta-ish orange with sage green cabinets to a color called "Almond Butter" (very light peach-ish cream). It goes very well with the sage cabinets and the dark wood floor. I didn't get around to painting the door white.

Before....
(this picture was actually taken before we replaced our refrigerator and dishwasher)

After....



The living room transformed from having the yellow and tan strips on top, cream chair rail and tan on bottom to a color called "Apple Slice" (very light green). I also painted the chair rail white. Again, I need to paint the door white and we hope to replace all the baseboards in that room.

After....



We remodeled the bathroom a couple months back when I painted the walls to a silvery-lavender and then had the floor, vanity, medicine cabinet and storage cabinet replaced. Although I didn't do any new work on it this past week, I did hire an electrician to replace our vanity fixture so here is a picture of it.

John and Mike replaced our shed doors over the course of 3 weekends in August. We have been chipping away at painting them since (and we still aren't finished). Although it's dark, here is the color we chose. We plan to re-paint all the trim on the exterior of the house this same color. (I'll re-post pictures when it's light out after we've finished painting).

Still lots of work to do but it feels almost like we are living in a new house given all these changes. It's so much brighter and cleaner.
