Before and afters...

I started with pink walls, painted them this awesome tan ,

and now they are blue.

I've yet to figure out what this room is exactly, but I think it's starting to shape up. I want to hang maps on the giant mirror wall to the right of this picture and add a set of electric drums for my youngest...So, a music, library sort of room..I did rearrange my shelves to be more library ish..so I'm off to a good start. The dogs will be moved in here as of this weekend...I'll post pictures of that next week :-/

My dining room was also painted blue.

This is how it looked when we first moved in. Awful light, Awful curtains, ugly chair fabric with plastic coating..

Then I recovered the chairs, brought in my grandmothers hutch, took down the curtains, painted the table and switched out the light...It still wasn't working for me.

 Then I brought back in the corner hutch {will be white}, added "stuff" to the wall and still wasn't content...too busy.

Here's the latest.. Blue walls, old window, and simpler..It looks out of proportion in this picture, but it works.

These are my curtains..How is she comfortable??

I'll swap out the wreath according to season's and holidays.

I'll also change the shells out.

My youngest son and daughter share this bathroom. It started with a hideous linoleum floor, pink counter tops..{true!}, and a pink painted vanity.

I painted the counter with Rustoluems counter top paint, painted the cabinet white and distressed it {I am going to paint it a bright white}, put down a thick durable peel and stick tile and added a new shower curtain.

It was fine for awhile, but it was just too dark.

After a few changes it brightened right up!

The shower mat and floor rug match each other even though it doesn't look like it in the picture.

We added some of the peel and stick mirrors. Nice and simple. I am still looking for something to go over the toilet...

Thats what I've been doing lately..actually, a whole lot more, but that's another post. Thanks!
