I realize its been forever since I updated, but I've been busy. We bought the house, painted most of the really bad stuff, and this weekend we're moving in. I've got some pics to show the before and after, so you can see the changes we've actually made. We're in the process of making screens for the windows (since the people before us didn't like the way they looked!!) and once we have those it will be a pleasant place to work without having to chase bees and hornets out all the time. Our new next door neighbor (who is also just moving in) is giving us some plants from her front yard that she doesn't want, so I'll be able to make the backyard look habitable soon too. So here are the pics.

The formerly orange living room:

The formerly avocado green kitchen:


The dining room where they came together to form the ugliest room on the face of the earth:


The master bedroom which once was red around the sink and manilla folder yellow on the walls:


And some shots of the work being done, my nieces, my husband and his sister, and the sis on the fridge:

Since I took these pics, we've also painted the turquoise bedroom a nice blue and we're half done turning one of the lime green bathrooms into the same green as the kitchen/dining room. I'll keep posting when I get the chance!
