Before & After

Since we decided to move to Texas (see below post)... I am in a fast frenzy to get our current home ready for us to leave. Below are some fun "before and after" shots of the guest bedroom. For those of you not aware, these pictures are from our town home which we just moved into in February. We are going to keep it as an investment property (which was the original plan anyway) and rent it out when we move to Texas.
Before

After
So these pictures don't really have great lighting and they're taken with my phone... but basically I took the ugly pink and brown striped wall with tan walls and cream moldings TO light grey walls, white ceiling, white baseboards and white doors (can't see here). Really, it may not look like much in the pictures but WOW it took forever-- at least a week. The brown stripes must have had 10 coats on them because they were 3D. It was hours of sandpapering, patching, cleaning, sandpapering, cleaning, painting, painting, taping, painting, painting... you get the idea. So I can't help being a little proud. Now that I'm moving onto our Texas home JUST as we finished renovating this homes... I am going to post some pictures on here of our beloved town home we are leaving behind. Look for those soon!

That looks...incredible! You did put A LOT of work into that room. (P.S. I am a little glad that we didn't buy the one next door, since you guys are moving and all.)

I'm so excited for you and your new adventures! You did a great job with your bedroom. You have done amazing things to that town house.

Can't wait to hear more about all of your big changes going on.
