Bedrooms Before and After
My husband, both of our families, and I have been working hard on our new house. Over Christmas break, we painted the three rooms and just finished them. Take a peek:
The color in this room wasn't too bad, it was more of the bad paint job. The last owners did not use a drop cloth and got paint ALL OVER the floor. Also, they didn't use tape so there is brown paint from the previous paint job and the white trim was painted blue.
Master Bedroom
Before:
Sponge painted- yuck!
After:
We chose a plum colored for our room. The trim is a creamy white color. The fan was bought for $10 on Craigslist.
Guest Bedroom
Before:
The wallpaper was peeling and the paint job looked like it had been done by 10 year olds.
After:
We chose a warm taupe color. The fan is also another Craigslist find. This one was $20. The paint is Home Depot Behr Premium Plus. This room needed 2 coats because it was drying not opaque enough.
Office/3rd Bedroom
Before:
After:
We went with a spring green color called Apple 3. It is not quite as bright as it appears in this picture.
The house is finally coming together and is starting to look very nice! 12 more weeks until we move in : )

hi! my husband and i love the warm taupe color you selected... i think you said it was behr? any idea the name of the paint color? we are re-doing our master bath and would like to check into a similar color palette. :)
ReplyDeletethanks!
Thank you! I believe it is called taupe 4 which is a Valspar paint but we got the color matched to a Behr paint since we like the quality better.
