Transformation of Colors with Paint!

BACK YARD BEFORE

BACK YARD AFTER - Where did it go?
Dump, Dump, Dump. Most of the things that were outside and left behind by previous tenants had to be thrown out due to water damage. Anything that can be salvaged will be fixed up and sold.


BEDROOM 3 BEFORE

The colors were a crazy purple, the kind that you get as makeup as a teenager. It also had hot pink mixed in... I feel like I need a retro 80's jacket to blend in.

BEDROOM 3 AFTER

I decided to go with a light, clean lavender, actual called Morning Haze. It is made my Behr.
It turned out beautiful!

BEDROOM 2 BEFORE - This room was in shambles. Don't get me wrong, I am patriotic and proud to be an american, but WOW... this room took the longest so far to get to normal. It was peeling and completely a wreck. Poor American Flag.



BEDROOM 2 AFTER - Thanks to Home Depot, my new favorite store, I bought Sea Cap, another airy color that opens up the room. After 2 layers of primer + 2 layers of paint = there are still little lines from the previous stripes that you can see if your face is against the wall :) There is a great little closet that I have not taken pictures of yet. It is one of my favorite rooms in the house!



MASTER BEDROOM BEFORE - Whoever chose the colors before I painted must have been thinking Colonial Days. It was a mauve brown with a Navy Blue. I thought I was in a conference room in an old time court house. There were some serious holes and uneven walls in the room.

MASTER BEDROOM AFTER - Wow do I love Blue! I feel like I am at the beach! I am an ocean fanatic and really wanted a bedroom that could be my "sanctuary." I decided to paint it Mineral Water, another Behr color that I bought at home depot. Thanks to my friend, SPACKLE, we evened out the walls prior to painting. Holes really show after you prime. Take that into consideration when painting a room!
