{A work in progress Pt 1}

2 comments  
Almost 3 years after we moved in and I'm just now getting to paint the living room. *sigh* We're so...broke lol. But here it is so far.

The Befores:

 
The living room.

The built in's the are right outside the bedroom door & in the living room.


Afters:
Painted orange with brown floors, trim, and built in's.

The livingroom all torn up while painting lol. I love it!

 The new couch! Thank you Costco!!

The trim isn't done yet, we went to buy the rest of it and it was all gone. Annoying. And the ceiling is being painted white tomorrow. I hate painting at this point lol. I just want the damn room done. We'll still have to get the rods for the sheers (windows) and the crown molding (white also). It's coming together quite nicely though and I'm glad that it's finally ours. Before it was just a house we lived in and someone else decorated it. Now it's mine, ours, it's something I did. Ya know? I love it :).

I'll post more updates as we get things done :). I'm hoping the white ceiling will brighten up the room and make the ceiling a little higher (even though they're already 10ft).

    I love the color you chose!! Has it really been three years since you've moved in?! Wow!

    I have yet to go to Costco, do they have lots of furniture to choose from?

    Thanks so do I! I wasn't sure about it in the can, I thought it was gonna be way too bright. But it's not at all.

    Not a lot of furniture. There are about 2 rows right now of it. Mainly chairs and some dressers (I think). If you want to go sometime just let me know. I can take a guest but in order to get in the door you have to have a card.
