Some Before Photos

Master Bedroom Suite (Purple walls, carpet on floor)

Dining room - yellow, small pass-through to kitchen

Kitchen - dream appliances, not so dreamy tile, powder blue walls

Laundry room, same tile, very bright orange walls

Office, gorgeous built-in cabinetry, wine coloured walls
Here are some shots of our new house before we took possession and started tearing things apart.  I don't mean to be critical of other people's tastes in colour - its a personal thing, but I want to document the way the house looked before and show what a simpler colour pallet and some new finishes can do to change the look of a place.  Afters to come soon (I hope).

    And meant to add--this house has some fabulous bones! Seems like it had already had some semi-recent updating. Love the (clapboard??) master bedroom ceiling. You made a great decision!

    They loved colour, all kinds of colour! A bit too bold for me in some cases. I definitely wouldn't want a purple room or an orange laundry room or a blue kitchen, but to each their own I guess. Soon you'll have it just how you dreamed it should be.
