First Before and Afters

Well, here they are. The first of, hopefully many, before and after pictures of the house. These are of Miller and Wilson's rooms. They lack new floors and ceiling fixtures, but who knows when we'll get to that. So here they are 90% complete!

Miller Before:




Miller After:





(her dressing room is actually a pastel celery green, it's hard to tell with the lighting in there)


Wilson Before:




Wilson After:


He wanted his room to be blue like his train. I talked him into just doing the neon blue in his alcove and a lighter blue everywhere else. As you can tell, it's still very blue, but he loves it and it's a great color for a lively preschooler! (We're also just thrilled to be slowly rising from the sea of purple. Just to give you a taste of before's yet to come- not only are there purple walls downstairs- there's also purple trim!)

Lastly- you'll have to use your imagination here, but we didn't have a fence. We're so excited that the builders showed up a couple of days ago and got this much needed project done. If it would just dry up a bit, we'd really be enjoying it. But we're already thrilled that the dog can go out on his own without one of us attached to him with a leash!

I'm just sorry we didn't get a "before" picture of the kitchen wallpaper--Beth and I had too good of a time pulling it down. Sorry! Did you get any pictures of the vertical blinds? This house is going to be so beautiful with your touches when it's all said and done. You've come a LONG way in a very short time. Time to rest to get ready for "Miller time!" The fence looks GREAT!

Love Baby Millers room!! I think it is so sweet and I really that it is departed from the traditional colors people pick. Also, would love to know what the color is called if you don't mind.

Love Wilson's room too...It is definetly "all boy"
