After

12:27 p.m.

How about some house photos, eh? (I watched Strange Brew this weekend and have been wanting to tack on "eh" to everything I say and/or think, and it is annoying. Even more annoying than Strange Brew. I found it in a box of VHS tapes and wanted to watch is because I may or may not have a thing for Rick Moranis. Or Canadians. Or beer.)

First, here are a few of my studio that I'm nearly done setting up. None of you probably care, but here it is. It's all work-space-y and full of spiders. I like it.










































Not fancy, but hooray. Okay. Now that that's over with, here is some of the before and after I promised. I took photos before the estate sale, before they sold the old man's belongings in the back yard.

First, before:




















We decided to use this bedroom as a dining room, due to the house being cozy. We also decided we liked the contrast of our red stuff with the blue walls, which don't really show up in these photos.





































It's a nice cheerful sunny room to eat in and put books. Also, it's a nice room for sitting on the floor and taking an embarassing amount of pet photos, a small sampling of which I will now proudly display:
























































She hates him so much:



















Next, our bedroom. I didn't really have any decent (and I'm obviously using the term "decent" lightly) photos of before, and it's a small room full of a big bed, so it was hard to get a decent shot. But here's the after. It's also sunny and happy and calm.

Again, with the non-patriotic blue and red.



















Next up, the glorious pink non-showered bathroom before:


























I painted the pink ceilings and walls off-white, to match the tiles, and we rigged up a shower. It features a rubber band and lots of shower curtain rods. I think the pink is more bearable now. It's sort of Neapolitan ice cream-ish. I haven't gotten up the nerve to see what's under the carpeted floor yet, but I'm sure it's fantastic and disgusting.












































Next, the kitchen before I got paint happy. Here is a photo I didn't rotate:





































So, here is the Yellow! I painted the kitchen.





































I like it.

And, finally, here's how the living room looked before we moved in.



















I'm having problems with the lighting in this room, and took pics at different times to capture the true colors, but I suck. So here are a lot of weird photos of our living room, featuring the Gaucho paint and our elaborate slipcovers-to-prevent-the-cats-from-wrecking-our-furniture system:







































































I'm not going to show you the den until it's all done. I'm also going to refrain from talking about how completely insane and emotionally horrible I've felt this weekend. I'll save that for another time.

You can't wait!
