Here are some pics. We moved in mid-December. We had lots of plans for our 1960s house - it needed to be brought into this decade! However, pregnancy has slashed our budget. We still need curtains in some rooms and throw rugs/area rugs in almost all rooms. The kitchen needs gutting (think almond appliances and green linoleum) but that will wait. It's liveable now and much better. Although I still need to hang my paintings and other knick-knack stuff.
Living Room - We repainted, took down the hideous blinds and eventually will get new windows. We do need an area rugs, some end tables and side lamps too.
BEFORE: (not our furniture)
AFTER:
Our bedroom - We stripped the wallpaper and painted. Still needs curtains and a throw rug.

The hideous pink bathroom - We stripped the wallpaper (what a chore) and painted. Eventually I want to remove the pink tile entirely but it will do for now.

DD's Room - We stripped the border, repainted and took down the awful curtains. (I have put curtains up since the "after" picture and she has a headboard now - initially we put the mattress on the floor until she learned to stop rolling out of bed!)

I love the work so far. Especially the living room and DD's room. Kitchens can be so expensive, but less costly things like the throw rugs in appropriate colors can make a huge difference.
What a difference painting the walls made in the rooms. I am shocked (in a good way) at what a change you were able to make in the LR. Instead of the brass FP surround being a focal point, it is now barely even noticeable as an after-thought. Great job!
You did a beautiful job. It is so fun to see before and afters! What a good feeling to make a home yours. My husband ALWAYS has to change any home we move into in order to feel like it is his. I tell him he is "lifting his leg". I am just kidding him because he always has great ideas.
I love the bright colors you used on the walls. It really gives the house more personality!
Goood job; my bedroom is a mixture of brown and blue too...I think it is quite effective.
looking very nice, it is amazing the difference some paint and some coordinated drapes and bedspreads can make, we went through that earlier this year and keepers really love how our home looks now!
peace and blessings

oh wow this si so cool we love the bedroom now that rocks
You have good taste!
I especially like the after photo of DD's room. You guys did a good job.
Nice work, Enola!! :) That gives me courage to keep plodding along with mine.
I just realized something from looking at the living room pics again. You have the same kind of ceiling pattern that I have in my old house across town! So much nicer than these ugly popcorn ceilings I have now.
Wow! I am impressed. You did a great job. Congratulations.
