Before & After: Living Room & Dining Room

We have slowly been making changes in our house since we moved in mid-August. Our first project was the living room and dining room. We probably wouldn't have changed much right away, but the previous owners left lots of holes in the walls from pictures and the paint was chipped in a few places. We didn't have any leftover paint to touch it up so it turned into a complete do-over. Ultimately, it was a good thing we painted it. Looking back at the "before" photos, we can tell that we really neutralized that harsh mustard color into something easier on the eyes.

Please excuse Max and his glowing demon eyes in this photo. He's just mad that he's not the mantle accessory anymore...





As you can see, Max would not get out of the way - so here's his Glamour Shot:

We still have more accessorizing to do in these areas, but we'll probably move along to one of the bedrooms next.
