I finally have the before and after pictures of the house! I regret not taking more before pictures, oh well. We are very pleased how the new colors look in our home. This is a before picture of the arched window in the home teaching room. It's not a very good picture because the original one had dark shadows and I tried to lighten it up so that the painting around the arch would show. But it gives you the general idea of what was there.
This is the new and much improved home teaching room. In the picture to the right you can see that the one wall is darker than the other wall. We are going to repaint the "accent" wall so that it shows more contrast. In some light you can't even see the difference in the color.
Here are the before pictures of the family room. We love this room and the openness of it. But I could not stand the birdhouses and the birds and the vines. No regrets with covering them up. In the middle picture below you can see some cubby holes next to the fireplace. We would like to put some cupboard doors over them and paint them white for accent. The wall behind the TV is where we painted the accent wall but you can't tell that it is a different color. So we will repaint it like the home teaching room.
When we first moved into the house there was a wallpaper border that was just above the splash board all around the kitchen. (I wish I would have taken a picture.) I removed the wallpaper and to my surprise there were apples stenciled all around the splash board under the roosters.I don't have any before pictures of our bedroom or the office. The office picture looks like it has white walls but they are actually a light gray. I love the green color! We painted the laundry room the same color. It's relaxing to me.
We are so happy with our "new" home and wanted to share the pictures with you. What a difference a couple of coats of paint make!
