Our new house, then and now

Many of you have seen pictures of our house from our May house-hunting trip; now we finally have pictures of the changes we've made. Nothing major, basically just a lot of paint. (As an aside, we met the previous owner last night at a University reception and realized how thankful we should be for all the things we didn't have to change because he did, like the green shag carpet that ran through much of the house and is now a beautiful hardwood floor.) Anyway, I have been waiting to paint my living space for five years of apartment dwelling and I am quite content with the way things turned out here.

Then and Now

Painting the kitchen made me the most nervous, since we chose such a bright color. I sometimes wish we had chosen a darker blue, but I'm satisfied with this.



















The living room turned out to be my favorite. I love the yellow and red together.












The bedroom is my other favorite place. The wall behind the bed curves up and becomes the ceiling, so we chose a very neutral color for that, but the other walls are all green.

















This is the small office attached to the bedroom. It's probably too small to see but that is the official PCBS picture on the wall!










The former playroom has become Zach's music room. It is wonderful to finally have a dedicated place for all the tuba stuff!









We didn't take pictures of every room in May, so here are extra pics of rooms that only have a "now" version.

Thank you Bill, Becky, and Heath for helping us paint!
