Yep that's right, I've painted my entire Condo! I couldn't stand it- the bathrooms went first- they had hidious floral wallpaper. I wish I had taken a before picture of them but I just jumped right in not even thinking that I might want to look back at what it used to look like. But it was horrible- I'm not sure who thougth wallpaper was a good idea. Besides how ugly this stuff was, it is a Pain to take down. So what did I do- Painted over it! Yep! I'm sure in a few years it will start to peel away but for the time being it looks great!
I've also painted the bedrooms, hallway, living room, and Kitchen!!! With the help of a co-worker who came to texture the walls in the Kitchen after I got the wallpaper off and My friend Christy I did the painting! I can not be happier with the turn out and pretty proud of myself! It used to look like this:
Can you say Hideous!
All white and plain, along with the Pears on the wallpaper in the kitchen. YUCK
And now it looks like this:
The wall straight ahead with the cut out is a Chocolate Accent wall, I love it, really adds something to the room!(please excue the mess)
My parents came in town for my Birthday and My mom helped me hang stuff on the walls, I still have a few bare walls but I say less is more!! Especially in such a small space. It's been a few weeks since I finished painting but my hands still hurt and I have blisters all over them, I guess that's what I get for not hiring anyone and thinking it would be Easy. It really wasn't too bad, but I don't think I'll be doing it again.
