before 2132

Check it out.  Can you get over how ugly this room is?  Now, in my defense, many of the items in the room had already been moved around and painting had already begun in the bathroom when I finally remembered to take before pictures, but still.

ugly.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I started the day out by painting my bathroom first.  See?

I used two different colors.  One wall is brownish and the remaining three are greenish.  I do not have a before shot because taking a picture in a bathroom this small is not fun.  Not fun at all.  But the color before was a builders off-white with dirty hand prints all over the walls.

It was tres chic.

I am so relieved that this bathroom is painted because PAINTING BATHROOMS SUCK.  It’s hot.  It’s small and it’s hot.

Anyway, back to the office.

So, here is that picture again since I can’t seem to shut up and move on.

OMG. I know.  Isn’t it amazing?  The room feels like a totally different room.

Here’s another before and after series:

We took the love seat out and it feels so much better in there.  Also?  I changed everything that was on my walls by moving it around, taking it down all together or shopping in other rooms or my basement to change things up.  I did not spend any money on redoing this room, except for paint.  And I bought the cheap crap paint, which I do not recommend unless you love to paint the same spot over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.  If you do like to do that, then you’ll love the cheap crap paint.  And if you do like to paint the same spot over and over and over and over and over again then there is something wrong with you.

No offense.

ooooh…look.  More photos:

I love this project, it has inspired me to do a few more around the house.  Also, I do plan to add to the room, I realize it’s bare, but it’s takes me a little while to get the room to be “just so” plus we be broke, so you know, it’s just not done.

But that’s okay.  I’ll just come back another day and show you what I picked up at an Estate Sale yesterday.  FOR FREE.  But before I show it to you, I have to dismantle it, paint it, put it back together the way I want it, figure out how to hang it and then  hang it.

You’ll probably see it sometime in 2016.

But it’s going to be awesome.

I think.
