Today I will be finishing up my Home Sweet Home tour...of the inside, anyway. It has been fun, as we celebrate 6 years in this home, to see the before and after pictures and has helped me appreciate my home and fall in love with it all over again.
There is still a lot of work to do - the more blogs I read, the more ideas I get!
We'll start with the main bathroom. I don't have any before shots of this room, but it was COVERED in hideous floral, brocade wallpaper - you'll see a shot of the wallpaper below in the master bath redo. Since it was wallpapered...no texture. Ugh! I ended up doing a faux finish to help hide all the imperfections in the wall...I love me some faux painting!
(soon, I am going to try a faux board and batten treatment in here and distress the cabinets)
(oooh, look at that filthy towel - I think those are going in the rag bin when I get home!)
Now, onto the master bath. Let me just preface this with...this was the LAST room I did in the house because I was so SICK and TIRED of taking down wallpaper! I also did not do a whole lot to this room because we are eventually going to gut it and start over...so I didn't want to spend a lot of money.
But, as you can see, it was time to do something...
(I think someone got bored while sitting on the potty...hehe)
Wow! What a difference some paint makes!!!
I forgot how incredibly ugly this bathroom was!
Since we are in the master bathroom, which is obviously connected to the master bedroom, I'm going to show that too. Again, no before, but picture lots of ugly, matching (to the bathroom) wallpaper. I am getting ready to redo this room...time for something different!

Any ideas out there for how to cover up the brass on the closet doors? I *HATE* it, but can't seem to come up with an expensive solution...I'd love to hear your ideas!
And, that, folks...is the end of the inside of my house. It's not very big, it's not very glamorous, but it is HOME and we love it.Tomorrow...the backyard - my most favorite room ev-ah!

It's lovely! You've done a nice job. Who needs big, that only means more to clean.
Saw your comment at HouseofHepworths and went to your blog. Small Wall is also ideal for practicing faux finish techniques. In fact, Sherwin Williams initially picked it up to go with the introduction of their new Faux Impressions line last summer. We're now introducing 16" x 24" Small Wall's targeted at the faux finish market. Your local SW store should be able to order them.
Keep up the good work.
