Upstairs full bath. We haven't tackled this one yet. It has wallpaper from floor to ceiling and it has no primer under it. It will probably be re-wallpapered. But this go round I will paint underneath so the next change will be easier. We have purchased chrome fixtures for this room. I just need to get done with school before I tackle it, to make sure I have ample time and patience to do my best.

Finished upstairs bedrooms. We haven't changed the green one yet because one day it will be a nursery. We see no sense in painting twice. We pretty much just changed the wall colors and lights. We also changed the door knobs and hinges in EVERY room.

Old Upstairs bedrooms.

This is the bathroom now. Believe it or not, we got everything in this room from yard sales except the big Marilyn Monroe picture. This includes the sink, the faucet (the set for $20!), the towel bar, toilet paper holder, and molding type shelf and Marilyn Monroe tin that you can't see, and even the soap dish. I love yard sales!!! They are SO FUN!

This is the downstairs half bathroom before we made any changes.

We were able to remove the gold from every room except this one. That's because the shower door was gold and I didn't think it was worth all that much money to start changing stuff like that. We changed the lights so they would be centered, changed the towel bars and others like them, and the bathtub faucet. We also took changed the curtains and took down the wallpaper border.

This is the bathroom when we bought it.

Finally got a bed big enough that we don't have to sleep like sardines! At least DAN is happy. Dan's parent bought us bedroom furniture for our housewarming!!! Isn't it just lovely???!!!

David, the previous owner, gave us this wonderful color, so we didn't paint this room. We did change the ceiling fan, because there wasn't enough light for my taste.

We changed the color to Macadamia. (Thanks Rach1) I guess you can't seebut we changed all the ceiling fans, the curtains, and I guess that's about it. We got new blinds for every room, and that was one of our bigger expenses. I got the curtains at Target. Love 'em!

Old Living Room.
This is one of the most dramatic changes we made.

This is the old dining room. Getting the wallpaper off was a real job. My sister-in-law and mother-in-law helped us with the task. We changed the light and curtains, and the Fudge Truffle and Malted Milk paint colors really changed this room. When we put our table in, we didn't have much room left, but that's ok. You should have seen that table in our trailer! LOL!

The old laundry room was white, but we don't have any pictures. I am scared of color so I decided to experiment with the luandry room. I was pleased with the results.

THis is the kitchen now. It's hard to see the new color, but it's ROLL TIDE Red! Other things we did were change the kitchen faucet, the cabinet knobs, and the light in the breakfast nook. I want to add some sort of curtains to to bay window, and that's our next project.
