House Renovation

This October will be two years since I inherited the "Brick House". My uncle, my dad, and myself have been working on fixing it up it since last July. It has been a slow battle, but I thought I would share what we've accomplished so far. I am proudest of the kitchen. We used Duron's Silvermist on the walls, and plain white for the cabinets.





The master bedroom hasn't changed much, just lightened up the walls from a dark peachy tan to Duron's Kilim Beige.



The guest room looks worlds better, from a horrible bright blue that would hurt your eyes to Duron's Divine White.



The living room was off white, and looks similar to how it does now, but before, it had a very unsafe fireplace. The person that built the house never finished the chimney and we also had some very bad leaks around it. Since the house is so small anyway, we had the chimney knocked down and walled up the fireplace. Now, it it a suitable space for built ins, cabinetry, etc. I have not decided on a color for the living room yet, but I am thinking a light sage green.




The bathroom is the next biggest project after the kitchen. It needs to be completely gutted. Here is a before shot.




I can't take all the credit here though. I enlisted the help of Chris Kauffman of the blogs Just Beachy and CK Interiors to help pick paint colors and sort of shape the way with how to make the interior of the house look nice. She is amazing. Her style of decorating is perfect for my little house. We've come a long way but have a long way to go. I will definitely be glad when this project is over.
