A little bit of paint...

...to say it goes a long way doesn't even do justice!

L's Study: Before

(used as a bedroom by a young girl)

A pic of the room empty -

Study: After!

French Gray on the walls (Sherwin Williams)

and no more vertical blinds

(the wood floors still had not been finished

when we took the pic below:)


Hall Bath: Before

Close up:

the paint on the walls had yellowed but the tile stayed white

Hall Bath: After!

same French Gray

Master Bath Chandelier

L's master bath fan before, at the top of the picture:

(also of note: old sliding closet doors, "antiqued" white walls,

and curtains hung just above french doors)

close up to awesomeness:

Meet the old dining room chandelier:


Add some paint:

now hung in the master bath in place of the old fan:

New master bath!

"new" chandelier, new closet doors, new white paint,

and new curtains, mounted at the ceiling

L's Master Bath Makeover

L's Master Bath: Before

("fur down" fluorescent lighting, full wall mirror,

old hardware, cabinets on the wall to the right,

and cream / antique white paint)

goodbye "fur down" / encased lighting and big broken mirror:

and goodbye cabinets on the right:


new spot lighting in the ceiling! And paint begins:


After:
new mirrors, hardware, lighting, paint
(and a peek of the chandelier)



and changing the lighting & paint altered the color of the tile for the better,
close up:

Paint: Den, Master, Hallway + new sinks! [Updated]

New kitchen sink and faucet!

Den paint (Sherwin Williams Storm Cloud):

Master paint (Sherwin Williams Poolhouse):

Hallway paint (Sherwin Williams Light French Gray):

...apparently, MMR was there.

And now paint!

Paint: Round Two! Living, Dining, Kitchen Walls

Paint on the living/dining room walls:

Views from the kitchen:

Paint: Round One! Trim.

The first round of paint went up today. They sprayed all of the grey trim white. Here is the before trim:

And the after:

And the new (and old) built-ins:

The trim color is Sherwin Williams' "Snowbound."

Master Bath: Shower Tiled!

Another fuzzy iPhone pic, but our shower is now tiled up:

Master Closet: Sliding Barn Door

On the left is the hole for our closet door (please excuse the fuzzy iPhone pic):

To avoid losing closet/bedroom space, we are going to put on a sliding barn door. I thought I was excited about it when i found these beautiful examples:

(A bathroom door by the Brooklyn Home Company via Remodelista.)

( Reclaimed Wine Oak Sliding Door by Cliff Spencer via Remodelista.)

But then I found this gem at Historic Houston's salvage warehouse, and now i cannot WAIT to see how it turns out:

oooweee...
