I’m sorry to say I don’t really have any before pictures but I’ll give you a quick description…kitchen was a slate blue with oak cabinets, stained wood trim and doors, linoleum floor, almond fridge and black dishwasher. This is it now.  Living room was a light sage green with light brown wall to wall carpet. It had stained wood trim. For four years it served as my granddaughter’s bedroom. (Will add photo, apparently I can only add one at a time) My bedroom was a dark beige with carpet. Both bathrooms had linoleum floors. I had the toilets replaced. (Photo to come) I’m waiting for a small table for the area near the stairs to the third floor. It should arrive next week. I absolutely love how everything turned out. This is the first time I really made decisions about everything in a home. I struggled but am just so pleased. |

Kellee I just love how this renovation came out. I'm in love with that purple color. It's so happy. Your house just looks so inviting. You did an excellent job with your color choices.

It is beautiful. You did a wonderful job.
I am in the middle of this process now in my very little townhouse. It has been an at least seven year project up to this point with very little done just because I can’t seem to make any decision. 😬😄. But recently I have at least picked out flooring and have someone working on a quote and plan to replace my cabinets (which I have to do before I do the flooring). A friend has also been helping me work on repainting before I replace my floors. Post and pictures like yours have helped to prod me to get out of my slump and getting working on stuff again, so thank you for posting!
Enjoy your new, gorgeous, inviting and reclaimed space!

I tried with our bedroom and he said no way! |

I tried with our bedroom and he said no way! I doubt that my husband would have gone for the purple either. One benefit of being alone and the sole decision maker! |

My townhouse isn’t very big. I am so glad I paid someone to do all of the painting. It would have taken forever for me to do it with whatever help I could get. Expensive but definitely worth every dollar! I hope you get your place done soon! |

Expensive but definitely worth every dollar! I hope you get your place done soon! I have definitely thought about it and it still isn’t off the table if I don’t get off my butt. 😄 Hahaha There are parts (going up the stairs) that I will have to hire someone to do because of the height and it is well beyond my ability. Therefore I will have the entire upstairs done at that time. It probably more comes down to the laziness of having to get everything out and/or ready for someone to come in and do it all at once. 😄. Thanks for the encouragement! |

Your home is beautiful! We are in the middle of a bathroom renovation and I am struggling with color choices. I love all of your color choices.

It looks beautiful and so warm. My favorite piece is the round accent chair. I'm so glad that you have such a lovely space to enjoy and relax.

It looks wonderful! I bet the white in the kitchen really lightenend up the space. Did you have the oak cabinets painted, or replaced? I love your color choices. I have a purple craft room too, it makes me so happy and it’s not anywhere near as cheery as yours is. Purple always puts a smile on my face! Because of that DH suggested we use it for our bedroom since I spend so much time in there, but I’m looking for a color for both of us. Would love a grey similar to the one you’ve chosen but our main house color is a tan and double doors open up to our bedroom from the landing and I don’t love the colors together. Right now I’m considering a navy. I know that’ll be dark, but we tend to like that. So he suggested purple accents  I’m considering that. Anyway, it seems like it probably looks like a completely new space, and is so lovely. I’m very happy for you! |

It made such a huge difference along with the trim and other doors that were dark stained wood. The purple is my bedroom/scrapbook room. A friend jokes that it’s a scrapbook room with a bed (and dresser!) Thank you all for your kind words. 😊 |

Oh wow, that looks amazing! you must be thrilled. You did a great job choosing those colours. I love the purple! 💜 What is the photo on the bottom right, with all the gorgeous bright colours? I doubt that my husband would have gone for the purple either. Neither would my DSO! Although, Dick was partial to a bit of purple wasn't he? I am visualising a photo of him in a purple shirt and/or tie - or am I imagining things? And weren't your groomsmen dressed in purple shirts? I reckon he would have gone for the purple, to make you happy!  |
