Temporary Relief

From my insanity that is; the family room is complete. We took out the horrible futon and brought in the furniture from the living room which really looks a lot better against the white walls versus the red in the living room. So with cleaner carpets and freshened up paint I feel like I breathe just a little better. Al the Man is all gung-ho and now wants to paint the living room this weekend, hey who am I to stand in his way. Here are some before and after shots.


This was after my insanity and before we started painting.


LOOK at all the patching. Yeesh, glad I didn't have to do it.


Remember this?










Okay, so the white is a little boring but it's a hell of a lot better than the green. I just need some art and some window coverings and it will look a lot better. Now if I could only keep the toys from creeping back in. Sigh.

oh wow! It looks great!! so clean and crisp! Toys are an ongoing fight for sure .. but maybe a couple wicker baskets that can be used to contain some of it?!?!?

Wow looking back at the green (in comparison to the white now), ok, it really was quite horrible.

What was the tortoise doing near the fireplace? :) Anyway, I bet you won't take their toys away; you love them too much :)

Looks really good. Inspiring! I am not the decorating type so I need all the inspiration I can get. We need to finish our basement!
