Trading Spaces
So my house needed a lot of work. The rooms all had funny colors in them, or crayon writing on the walls, paint peeling, ugly wallpaper, cheap paneling... the list goes on.

The paneling makes the room really dark, not to mention it's ugly.

Dinning room wallpaper, and who picked that green? Also notice the crooked light switch...ah.

My landlord gave me a budget, and I am going nuts on painting things. I will post pictures once I get all the major work done. I will do a little before and after page... so keep checking for updates.

Needless to say I have been paint shopping and trying to pick colors and decide how I want everything to look. I picked some cool colors, after switching back and forth many times, and came up with some good options for the house. I have done the work alone and really found it to be soothing and relaxing to sit and paint with the radio on.

Painting the details on the staircase was a pain in the butt!

Getting to all the corners and trying to do a good job was important to me.


This weekend I hope to get all the painting finished. This it will just be hanging things on the walls, and figuring out where to put my furniture. I am putting off painting Novali's room until next month cause I can not decide on a color... but maybe I will get inspire this weekend. We will see...
