Beverly Hillbillies...

Since I just posted about what my house is like, I thought it would be fun, to show it instead of try to describe it. It really is hard to describe our taste. I understand it isn't for everyone. We tend to go overboard. I think my mother almost fainted when she first saw it. But the good news is, we are both this way, so it works out fine. Notice too, the before pictures are not of our furniture nor decor they were taken before we moved in.

Take a look... if you can get past the mess that is...





Here is the kitchen before we got to it. See how pristine, white and sterile it looks? Not unlike a hospital...Notice also the big tower in the middle of the kitchen which was a broom closet!



Here's what we did to it...Notice the bright colors? Notice too the absence of the tower? Yep my husband chopped that sucker down! Btw he did all the work himself. Very talented.


Here is the living room before. The walls are actually some kind of teal/blueish color.
This isn't the same view as the after picture, but it's the only one I have so It will have to do. One gets the general idea I think...



And here is our interpretation... Much more suitable for us. We obviously aren't traditional.


And again....

Other wall of living room with the fireplace/stove before us.....




And here's ours. A little different huh?

See what I mean? Kinda like Disneyland...

Wow, I love what you did to your house. Our new house looks like your before pictures. I promised myself not to do anything to it until we get our mortgage down though!! The kitchen is particularly fantastic. I hate the white kitchen because it ALWAYS looks dirty!!
