After priming and one coat of satin white paint. Also added satin nickel knobs. Probably needs at LEAST one more coat.
OK, so my new house isn't as ugly as the old one. But I'm still trying to make it as pretty as I can!

Guest Room Closet Doors
Before. I guess I didn't ever take a great picture with the doors closed but you get the idea. Ugly wooden doors with flowery brass knobs.
After priming and one coat of satin white paint. Also added satin nickel knobs. Probably needs at LEAST one more coat.

Still very much a work in progress. I need to finish painting, and I really need a new bath rug!

Guest Bathroom
I painted over my 1960's wallpaper today!
Before:
During. The paint was $1.00 at Home Depot! It was an "oops" can but I love the color!
After:
Coming Soon! I just need to paint the trim and cabinets white, and hopefully find some sort of tile paint that I can cover those awful gold fleur de lis designs with!
Do you like how I'm decorating with anything red that I can find around the house, including a red bottle of lotion? I obviously need to get some real red accessories!

Sunroom
The sunroom was by far the ugliest room in the house! I am still working on it. I would like to put up some sheer curtains in place of the blinds. Any suggestions?

After tiling and starting to paint the brick walls an off-white color (still in progress):

Kitchen
Before. Lots of brown, yellow, and copper! Not to mention the floral wallpaper at the top.
After. We painted the walls Pebble Gray (a Glidden color, but color-matched to Sherwin Williams, eggshell finish) had Blue Pearl granite countertops installed, had the cabinets painted Pure White by Sherwin Williams (semigloss finish), installed a cute backsplash from Lowes, spray painted the knobs satin nickel, and put in a new flat cooktop! And my dad gave us a nice new brushed nickel faucet. Dan also added an instant hot water dispenser for me, so I can have hot chocolate on demand! We still want new floors but I'm not sure what kind.

Any suggestions on window treatments? That window is OLD and in bad shape! I have thought about putting in a privacy glass block window, since it just looks out at our neighbor's fence anyway.
