    Before and after of the bedroom...it's still a work in progress. They're chopping down trees today.

    @Doctor-Phibes Excellent! I'm surprised you weren't a fan of the Eggplant paint.

      The room looks great, Phibes! The wood floor is bright, the ceiling is not the grey color, or was it popcorn? Anyway, a lot of work, but well worth it. Did you touch a paint brush just to see how it works, or did you leave it all to the professionals?

          We had somebody come in and paint most of the house white. It took him a good three weeks, but it was worth it, as the muck left behind by 30 years of heavy smoking was horrendous.

          We'll do the colours once we've had the chance to settle in a little.

          The wood floors were an amazing difference - they all came up so much brighter than what we first had.

          I was only joking

            It's much easier to envision other colors when you have white to start with. Good move.

              Agreed. Most of our home had the original 2005 builder paint color of a muted tan/yellow. Overall not bad, but just too much throughout the house, so we replaced most of it with an off-white, a grey/blue, or gray in a few bedrooms. Only other major project is to replace carpet. Paint and carpet (or hardwood refinishing, in your case) make a YUGE difference.

              Our previous owners also had some really heavy drapes that we tore down. Beautiful windows behind it, many with trees outside, so we didn't need the shade the curtains provided.

                Don't use wallpaper

                It might seem cool or fun or trendsetting or artistic

                But it is nothing but trouble

                Just don't

                  Hell, no. My parents had it up, but mostly because the walls were shot.

                  We have pink paper from the 80's or 90's up in one of the rooms. What a PITA it's going to be taking it down. Thankfully, it's the room Mrs. Phibes has designated as her 'crafting space'.

                    We got tile for our patio. I did all the work myself. Drove to the bank, withdrew cash, then used some good ol’ elbow grease to place that cash into the hands of a handyman. I think it turned out great, if I do say so myself.

                            Thanks! We also put in an ostentatious chandelier, as befits an ostentatious person such as myself. The entryway needs a lot more work though. We have a console table coming from Etsy which is very beautiful. Then we need to put stuff on the walls.

                                      A framed TNCR POTD collection would look nice there.

                                          Speaking of joinery, we got an entryway table where the joinery is a central part of the look. The pieces just slide together without fasteners. Not appropriate for rooms where the furniture is upside down and bolted to the ceiling. We tried it in the upside down room first, and they will be hearing from our lawyers.
