Before and After....




 I finally have some photos of my new look family room.
That's right the painting is finished (insert happy dance) the last of the renos is over....
Lets have a look at the journey shall we, come along and have a look with me.


Remember this room before was bedrooms and entry way(below)


Now it is one nice big open living room.




We knocked down a lot of walls and had a support beam put in. Even before we painted it looked so good.



But now it is amazing.
What a change, so bright and airy. I have also moved the table and sitting area around. It is all working much better with the table closer to the kitchen.


Below you can see how this was once a bedroom.

Looking more like a family room with the lounge and a few plates on the wall.


Ta DA
I know, have I mentioned that I am loving the white, and don't the plates look so much better against the white walls.

Even this dinner set that has been here for years looks better.


Have you noticed I am using a turquoise colour in here, I have been collecting bits and pieces in this colour waiting for when I painted.


So what do you think?
I have to admit at first the white was very well WHITE, but once I got my plates on the walls and colour around with the cushion's and throws it made it much more MANDY.

But not every thing is white, I still love my blue kitchen. I have given it a freshen up with new white trims though, I will show you that latter.


Have a great day.
Mandy

  3. Wow! what a makeover the white really opens it up. If it was me I would be standing in the room every hour or so just looking & enjoying. I must admit I often do that when I change my furniture around. I keep entering the room just for a bit of eye candy Lol!
