The Clean Up Begins - Painting Edition

 This is what a little bit of cleaning will do to improve a room!

Can you see the fire in the background? This was in December. No I am not crazy enough to have a fire now....

We painted the two front rooms a yummy brown color. Unfortunately none of the after photos show it off very well!

So far I love the color. Good news is, if or when I don't, it's only paint and I can change it, because it's my house!

Front Living Spaces

Still undecided on what each of these rooms will end up being but for now we'll use their intended names. 

The entry. 

Dining area. No the awful chandelier is not staying. 

The hallway off the dining room that wraps around the kitchen and takes you to the extra bedrooms.

The living room, looking through to an eating nook and the family room.

Those paper shades on the window? Yeah they are glued to the inside of the window. All you have to do is fold them up and clip chip clips to them to keep them out of the way.  I hope I can come up with something better.
