whee! pictures of the new living room!



okay... here are some shots of the living room before. the room wasn't awful, it just 1. wasn't my style and 2. the paint color made the room feel smaller... plus 3. the paint job was just horrifying in how sloppy it was.

long shot of the living room with the other owner's stuff:



another shot of the "before" living room...



picture of the room with my stuff in it, with the dark burnt gold paint on the tall wall that drove me crazy:



a couple of shots of the paint job the previous owners did, so you can understand why i was so pissed off about it:

all the trim had wall paint on it, they didn't tape anything off or even try to stay in the lines:



this one's great, they went up the wall and then decided to stop.





sooooooo.... *drumroll* the NEW living room!!!!



i did most of the walls in a buttercream color ("beach haven", i think it was called), so there'd be a little bit of color but not enough to lessen the openness of the space.

shot from the top of the stairs:



and here's that tall wall i did a poll on a few weeks ago!!! just to remind you, here was the powerpoint drawing i did of my idea:



and here's the finished product, which is FREAKY in how close it is to my drawing!



cool retro starburst thing i got from west elm, as a housewarming gift to myself:



and the wall opposite the tall blue one:



so, that's it, all done! i'm so happy with it, and honestly the pictures don't even do it justice. wheeeee!
