The much anticipated before and after pics of our house

The first room that got a total overhaul was the most important in the house... the Kitchen!

This is what we started with. Thank goodness you cant see the inside of the cupboards! And yes that is the dreaded lino flooring that was hiding another layer of lino that would take us 2 days to scrape off!

And this is the much loved finished product!

We are still looking for some chairs for the new table, but they work for now.

The second room that we decided to tackle, much to Phil's dismay was our bedroom. Everyone knows that Phil's favourite colour is yellow, but let me tell you it was a bit much!

It hurt my eyes!

Phil agreed to go with a water theme so blue was the go. I am still looking for some new curtains but I think I may just have to make my own in the end.

The after!

All the bedrooms got the same colour carpet, and the flooring that runs through the kitchen is in the rest of the house.
Next we had to tackle the vaulted ceiling of the lounge/living room (to satisfy the Canadian and UK readers).The rest of the house needed to get painted before the floor could go in so that meant every room had to be done eventually. I do enjoy the concept of the feature wall so we carried that into the lounge as well. We went a bit more bold with our colour choice here but I am very happy with our final product.

White, bright and crisp.

 Trust me the carpet looks much nicer in the pics!

With a bit of adjusting of the furniture, new curtains and curtain rails, painting of the brick wall (never again) and some new art work we have...

The final product!

Sorry, this one is a bit dark.

 The last thing to do in this room is to replace the hideous chandelier, and we are still debating on getting an area rug for in front of the sofa. Stay tuned!
We have also painted the 2nd spare bedroom but nothing exciting to see in there. Phil thought it was going to be his 'Man Room' but my sewing machine has become a permanent fixture with all the projects I have been working on. But that will have to be another post on another day!
Hope you enjoyed the show!
