We just finished the walls and ceilings in the living room and dining room. Still have to do the floors, but we'll take a break before we take that plunge.
We don't have any good before pictures (lost the camera for a while), so here are some earlier pics of Keely that show the walls and floor in the background:
This is what the walls looked like. Beautiful green and salmon.
I just like this pic. It does show the ugly textured carpet, though.
Here's another pic of the walls (in the background, of course)
Initially, we were just going to strip wallpaper and paint, but after we tore out half the old wallpaper, we realized that it was more trouble than it was worth. We also realized that the cracks in the walls would eventually come back. So, we decided to drywall, then paint.
Here's one of me muddin' (could stand to go a while without doing that again)
Here's a pic of the walls once they were mudded.
Here are the windows taped and the walls primed.
It was a ton more work that I initially anticipated, but I like the finish product.
As you can see, the floor still needs to be done, but we'll get to that once we've forgotten how hard it was to do everything else.
