A few pictures...finally!

I know, I know - I'm lagging in a big way. Here are a few before/after pictures of our living room.

Before - I really, really wish the camera could have captured the nasty carpet. Please trust me when I say it was stained with all sorts of, uh, interesting shades and was nicely matted down. And the wall color was some kind of bland eggshell color with many more shades of nasty stains. This is what happens when builders install the cheapest carpet possible and you have 4 owners. All in about a 7 year span.





After - new paint + new flooring makes a world of difference! The furniture looked better in the CA house, but I'm not about to buy new stuff.

More to come...eventually.
