Our Home ~ Staircase

Welcome to our home. I have decided to join Kim at Savvy Southern Style for her before and after party and of course will be showing pictures of our home. We bought this house 3 years ago, and did quite a bit of work in the beginning...but lately have hit a little slump in getting projects finished! When you take some pictures of rooms or areas in your house that you thought looked pretty good it's amazing to see how many things need a little tweaking! Every now and then you are surprised and things are just as you would like, but you know what I mean.Come on in!!

We don't have an entry hall in our home. When you come in the front door, the stairs are right in front of you. The before pictures today are of the home as we saw it when we made our offer. I am using them so you can see the wall and carpet colors. These are not in any way meant to critique the previous owner's "stuff".

All of the trim in the home was painted this taupey color. The walls AND ceilings were painted a lighter shade of the same color. I am not a beige person. I know some are, and I can enjoy it in their homes, but I need color.

And so the transformation began.
The stairs lead up to our pool table room. The little arch next to the clock leads to the family room.
We did keep this lantern. It fits in well with our stuff!
Now for the "after". All of the trim was painted white, semi gloss. The walls are butter yellow, and ceilings, which you can't see are almost white, with just a little yellow. It was really hard to figure out what to do with the curved wall. These pictures do work, although the one does stick out from the wall a bit.
We had the black and yellow carpet installed and had them make a rug for the front door of the same carpet.

The next transformation that the staircase gets is its annual Christmas decorating. But that's for another Wednesday!

Thanks for stopping by.

Please join Kim for more before and afters.
