Painting before/afters!

I cannot believe I finally finished. I got the main downstairs done! YAY!! I really love how it turned out. I didn't plan on painting my kitchen red but I'm glad I did. I am TIRED!! I have spent about 30 hours painting in the last 4 days. Luckily the Olympics have been on to listen to all day/night long. I haven't touched up the messups yet, and I really need to accessorize somehow but here are the pictures. It is finally feeling like our "home".

KITCHEN



LOOKING INTO THE FRONT ENTRY

"THE Wall" turned out great, you'd never know it was all jacked up before!


ENTRYWAY WALL

(I can't wait to put a table here and do something cute!!)


This shade of raspberry red is my favorite color in the whole world!!







My rooms still need some softening up with some curtains and throw pillows and accessories, but I've got a good start. I'm hooked on HGTV. com and getting lots of ideas from the message boards. SO fun!! I've put all the painting away for now, its time to focus on some cleaning and organizing again, then mabye in a week or so I'll be ready to tackle some more. Next up: Putting my hair salon together so I can start making some $$ and my downstairs bathroom in bold black and white. Ohyeah.......and a housewarming PARTY!!

You are not ONLY a hair dresser but a designer too!!! WOW, WOW, WOW!! It's really, really nice. I LOVE IT. The red looks so good and it brings out the green in the dining table and chairs. I'm so glad you are all moved in and getting things together. SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!

Girl! You have busy! Great job with the new colors, it definitely looks amazing, and so much better! Seriously, where do people get the idea that they have to paint weird colors anyway?
