I know some of you have been waiting for photos of the inside of the house.\u00a0 Well today is your lucky day!\u00a0 I have been painting each room and as I go along I will post before and after photos here.\u00a0 There is LOTS of painting to do- every square inch inside and outside needs to be painted.\u00a0 Now I actually like painting but this is getting to be tiring.\u00a0 The ceilings, the walls, the trim- and everything needs 2 coats and\/or primer due to weird, dark colors the previous owner had.\u00a0 And not to mention how the outside of our house was never finished being painted at the top of the 2nd story.\u00a0 I mean who doesn’t finish painting?!?!\u00a0 And then just leaves the house 2 different colors?\u00a0 So the outside will be painted as well but that is for another day and I want to hire someone for that job.\u00a0 Now here are the before photos of the living room.\u00a0 Notice the hunter green crown molding on only part of the ceiling and the lovely fake laminate wood floors that were covering the original wood floors.\u00a0 Even though the wood floors were painted they were still in very good condition which was good news for us.<\/p>\n

After sanding and stain the floors turned out beautiful.\u00a0 My mother-in-law helping to paint this room- thanks so much!\u00a0 Here is the after:<\/p>\n

Just ignore the plastic- I’m still painting!\u00a0 The dining room is connected to the Living room and had ugly, cream colored, stained carpet on the floors.\u00a0 This carpet was also on the stairs, upstairs hallway and in the 2 spare bedrooms.\u00a0 It took us a long time to remove all the staples from the carpet but it was worth it because the floors turned out so nice!<\/p>\n

And after- I still need to paint all the trim in the dining room- hence the paper on the floors.\u00a0 I also want to get this<\/a> chandelier from Pottery Barn.\u00a0 We have some other furniture for this room as well- a hutch from my Great Aunt and a dining room table from my parents.\u00a0 I also want to add matchstick shades and some curtains to dress this room up a bit more.\u00a0 Marissa helped to paint this room- thanks!<\/p>\n

The Kitchen looks about the same- ugly wallpaper will be removed but that is a long project for another day.\u00a0 At least I removed the matching curtains that had never been washed!\u00a0 This is not an eat in kitchen so we will eat in the dining room for every meal- which I really like!\u00a0 Why have a dining room if you don’t eat in it?<\/p>\n

These are the only before pics I have of the office- but maybe Chris has some before the sanding.\u00a0 Anyway this is the smallest bedroom- now the office and it’s completely painted.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2762-w-logo\"<\/p>\n

And the after- I LOVE the color!\u00a0 I am going to hang my Endless Summer<\/a> poster here- can’t wait:)\u00a0 Not totally unpacked but much more organized that it was 2 days ago- ha!\u00a0 Also we are going to get a new light for this room so ignore the hanging light fixture- it’s missing the glass part and it’s brass which I do not care for.\u00a0 Oh I didn’t paint the window panes yet so that is why the top one here is blue- it will be white.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2985-w-logo\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2986-w-logo\"<\/p>\n

And a little bit of the beach- can’t wait for summer and all the sessions I have booked!\u00a0 Totally ready for flip-flops and dresses.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2987-w-logo\"<\/p>\n

Email me to book your Spring\/Summer photo session.\u00a0 I am totally booked for May and my June calendar is filling up!\u00a0 Hope you enjoyed a peak inside my house:)\u00a0 More to come of the upstairs bedrooms and bath- stay tuned.<\/p>\n
