Before and After

Okay so we FINALLY finished one room to do before and after shots...well actually I still need to hang the curtains, but this is close enough I guess. So here is the living room before we moved in:

The first thing I did was take those curtains down. Here is an intermediate/almost done shot:

It's kind of hard to see in that shot, but I wrote Isabelle's name above the entryway....I also put a heart with Patrick and my initials in it. I thought it would be okay since I did it in trim paint which was a lighter color....unfortunately the trim paint was also semi-gloss and the regular paint was satin/eggshell finish. This meant you could see the writing even through the paint. So those areas got lots of extra layers. So here is the end result...I couldn't get a very good pic of the opposite wall, but rest assured that it looks good...also picture red curtains framing the windows.

So there you go. I'm going to put a plant to the side of the big couch there, the smaller sofa has a red throw that goes on it, but you can see what it's supposed to look like. What do you think? If you don't like it, don't tell me. ;)
