Some "Before" Pictures

Hi. It's eight AM and in just a minute I'm off to the house. David is at rehearsal 'til 10:30, so I'm going over alone for now. I thought I would upload some of the old pictures I took when we first toured the house, so you could see what we had to cover. Unfortunately, we're not quite as creative as the old owners.

Most of the house is now covered in a Benjamin Moore color called Stone House - sort of sandy. Trim was painted Marble White, which sounds stark but was actually a lot warmer than the pure white they had. In our bedroom, Vid let me do a red accent wall. We chose Spanish Red, but it looked too country next to Stone House, so we darkened it.

The living room/dining room was a sea-foam green, and the kitchen a lemony yellow with cornflower blue trim.

I'll post some of our "in progress" stuff so you can see how things are coming along. Tomorrow the kitchen gets a second coat, we'll paint some more trim, and (hopefully) rip up some carpet. Fun times!

We're still exhausted.
