Before

This weekend is our 2 year anniversary of our move to the great state of TX. To celebrate, we've bought a house!! (OK, we've been looking for a while and finally found just the right one for us.) We love the location- close to our new elementary school and on a street full of friendly families- the floor plan, the backyard, the hot tub, & the extra space in the garage! But we don't love their choice of paint colors. So here is a little tour of some of the rooms. They were taken at night on Bill's phone so they're not the best quality... ces la vie.

This is looking in to the family room from the front entry. The picture doesn't do justice to the dark accent wall behind the fire place and the matching ceilings that go through the main areas.
Now standing by the fireplace looking back to the entry and up the stairs. (The kitchen is off to the right and the door in the entry on the left leads to the garage.)
Looking into the family room from the breakfast nook in the kitchen.
View of the kitchen and back door.
Opposite view of kitchen. Door to the left in the back leads to the dining room- laundry room is on the right.
Dining room- green laundry room in the back right corner.
Small study- in the hall off the family room.
Across from the study is the powder bathroom. Why would I include that you are wondering? Because of the awful...ahem... awesome paint job. This picture just doesn't do it justice. The ceiling is burgundy and the crown molding is tan. The walls are also burgundy... and then they are covered with a gold and silver faux finish look. It really is not my style and doesn't go with the floor.
And they used the same look in the master, only this is over chocolate brown.
A fun feature is that they have converted 3/4 of the game room upstairs into a media room. The entire room is navy sparkly paint, except the 'screen'. Which is white projector paint outlined by black molding. And the base boards are gold. We'll keep this for a while- I actually don't mind the navy for the media room. If only I had that fabulous red semi-circle couch that the previous owners had.
Not pictured: the kids rooms. There is one for each of them and the colors of those are currently up for debate. We are scheduled to be out of our rental by the 15 of September. So much to do and so little time!
