Before - upstairs edition

So we moved last weekend and spent this weekend snowed into our new home. I finally found a camera, but the battery died so I only got a few pictures.

We already painted over the lime green office/nursery (it was a nursery, now it is an office) with a grey-green/seafoam color. Frank chose the color for this room as it is mostly his office.

We aren't unpacked in there yet - we need to get the tools to anchor the bookshelves to the walls before loading them up with all of our books. Once that is finished we'll add stuff to the walls (art, diplomas, etc). Hopefully we'll find a rug for the room before loading up the bookshelves, too. The "after" pictures will have all of the final touches in place.

Next is our bedroom. The blue is called "newport blue" and is a grey-blue, a bit more subdued than our last blue bedroom. It is halfway painted (the blue is a bit darker in person than it looks in the pictures) and we're still looking for the right armoire to replace the temporary one Frank has now.

The "after" pictures will have the room entirely painted and there will be stuff on the walls. There may or may not be an armoire, depends on what we find.

The final upstairs room is the bathroom. Currently it is just an off-white color with a touch of yellow (testing the color) and a lot of spakle on the walls. When it is finished it will be yellow, which will coordinate with the shower curtain and compliment the black and white tiles.

I was hoping to have the bathroom finished this past weekend but the sanding block was in the car, and the car was under two feet of snow, so that didn't happen.

One major improvement that you cannot see is that when we moved in there was no showerhead. It was like taking a shower in a heavy mist - like the things they have at Disney World in the summer. Now we have a showerhead and I could not be happier about that!

That is all for now because the battery died on the camera as I came downstairs for more pictures.

Maybe I'll go paint more now, or unpack some more clothes, or take a nap.
