Painting,Painting and moooore Painting!

Ok so I was almost hesitant to post these pictures because the before almost looks better than the after. In real life it doesn't , but in the pictures it does.

Before- Beegh's mom had this night stand when she was a teenager




During
After-the picture doesn't do the finished night stand justice. The flash made it look lighter.
After we sanded,primed and painted our night stands we proceeded to paint our living room/dining area. The walls were just completely white. We didn't do anything nice to our last apartment so we wanted to paint to make this apartment feel more like a home. The three surrounding walls are tan and the back wall is chocolate.
NEXT we painted the living room/ dining area we THEN moved on to the book shelf. Beegh sanded the shelves and then we painted it black. (sorry I had to much paint on my hands to take before pictures. Just believe me, it looks better)
So After (yes we kept going)-we didn't want to buy a new T.V. stand so we just used a table that we already owned - painted it black and stuck a basket underneath it. I told Beegh that I cannot paint something for at least a year. I was so sick of painting by the end. Don't get me wrong, I think everything looks great and it was worth it, I just wouldn't want to do it again anytime soon.



Here is half of our kitchen. I couldn't get it all in one shot (it's just that big! ), but I think you get the idea.

I keep telling my family how green it is so.....
here is a picture of a road we drive down everyday. We always see some form of wild life- a deer, squirrel or bunny. It is so pretty I am excited for it to transform during the fall!

That area is beautiful and green reminds me of Washington state. the bookshelf looks great black. I also think the night stand looks better now. I thought you were making it black or dark I guess I was wrong. The wall looks great chocolate and I like your couch I had not seen it. You sound very busy I don't know how you found the time to do all of that. Looks Great MOM (Mabel)

WOW! impressive home. It looks like you guys are all moved in! It is nice to be somewhere where there is an actual Fall, the leaves changing color and everything, in AZ we don't see that!
