Some Painted Walls

Ok folks, here's some more renovations. This is the ugly green walls and lovely wallpaper we've been stuck with. The stupid chimney doesn't even work!! There was a fire in the house may years ago, and it's capped in the attic.

Turned into this:

Doesn't the chimney look better?

The living room is L-shaped. I chose two different colors, so that it doesn't look like a big white box. The one side is white, the other side is cream color- better than the green!!

Ignore the stain, it came out with a good cleaning.

I also tackled the back hallway, which is high traffic and gets dirty fast. Right now, this is just Kilz, but isn't it nice and bright? I'm going to keep the doors white, and do a big blackboard in the middle. I'd love to do the whole area in black and white.

It's hard to tell, but this in a dingy cream, lots of dings and dirt. The floors are pretty gross, but not in the budget to change right now.The door you can see on the right is had holes in it, which were spackled. This are goes into a whole other room- mostly recycleables, the large freezer and some other stuff.

My little helper.

So, I'm kind of "painted out" right now. hehehe. I'm making curtains for the living room out of drop cloths. They look like linen, which is awesome, and they cost a mere $40 for what will turn into 8 pairs (after I cut and hem the edges). Can't beat that!!

PS- I think I'm going to paint this tile floor black and white checker!
