Not a pony Brag but my HOUSE Brag!

[achab1984]

I know that is not a pony brag, but I wanted to share it all with you. I am also not sure if I should put this in the Off Topic. Please move Mods if that is were it should be. I bought my house back in 2005 and everything was WHITE in the house. I did not mind it at first, but over the years it started to show its age. I bought new paint back in 2010 and my ex would not help me with it. So it sat downstairs till about a week ago. I started working on it and my hunny now finished it all for me and put up the new curtains and rod!!! I love how it turned out!

This is what it looked like when I bought it back in 2005.

Sorry some of the pictures are kind of hard to see, but the camera kept doing that with the sun coming threw. As you can all see I do not like a messy house........LOL  Thank you for looking and let me know what you think? I do need to find some things to put on the walls. The Kitchen is NEXT! Below is a picture of the kitchen what I bought it. Very white!

Ohhhhh I'm such a house geek! I love painting, decorating all that.... unfortunately my house prettying money has been spent on ponies recently! I've been so naughty. I still need to pick up paint for the pony room and floors for the top level. and trim, oh how I want trimwork again.

I love the wallcolour you chose, much warmer and more cozy then the builders white. White walls can look awesome offset with colour elsewhere but after renting I've banished them in this house! Your drapes are quite sexy as well. Great job. Art- check out ikea, I find frames are very affordable they also have some prints that match up to their frames, or prints on canvas, but using other art I love getting their frames as they are so budget friendly.

Your house looks so wonderful! I absolutely love the new wall color!

Great job!! We also refused to make our house all white though we went quite colourful on our little house (goes well with ponies) but i really love your choice of colour - elegant, but not dull! It looks really cosy

That's amazing ! You changed your living space beautifully. I really love the color and how everything meshes well together.

Very nice!  You have a gorgeous house and stuff in it.  Like me, you like everything clean. 

[achab1984]

Thank you everyone for the kind words about my living room I really do like how my house is turning out.

I vote sunshine colors for a kitchen!    Looking great!  Really looks like a home now with the colors.  I, too, hate renter's white.

Its amazing what a bit of paint can do

Yes it sure it!

I have a very pretty green for the kitchen picked out and sitting waiting to be done. I would have it done already. But painting is hard on me with my back and neck issues I got from work a few years back. I have changed all the pulls and there is alot more plants in the kitchen more from them pictures. My microwave also died that is above the stove. I have yet to take it down. I cant wait to get it all done and share that rest of it with you all. I am going to also replace all the flooring in my house and get a new sink with fauset. I am not sure how to spell that. Its going to match the pulls in the kitchen. This is so EXCITING!!!!

Your house looks gorgeous! I love the way you've decorated, too!

I know how you feel about the colors- our house was 100% off white when we bought it. We finally have 2 rooms painted..haha!
