This is a very picture heavy and long post, but I wanted to share our home's transformation with some before and after pictures. I hope you enjoy!
Front of our house before:
Front of our house after. We used all Sherwin Williams colors in white, muslin and espresso to give it a traditional/New England feel. I can't wait to work on the landscaping in the front yard.
Entry Way/Dining Room Before:
Entry Way/Dining Room After. We took out the arches that closed off the dining room; it makes the room look so much bigger! The dining room is painted in Rattan from Benjamin Moore's colors for Pottery Barn.
The Kitchen Before.
The Kitchen After. This is one of my favorite rooms in the house :) Our granite has a mix of white, brown and champagne colors and the back splash is a tumbled white onyx. We are still missing a few things like a microwave and the crown molding along the top but it is almost there!
The Family Room Before.
The Family Room After. This room is also painted in the Pottery Barn Rattan color. The rest of the house is mostly painted in Pottery Barn's Decorator White so we can change the paint colors as we go. Choosing paint colors is so tough for me!
The Florida Room Before.
The Florida Room After. Originally this room was one of my least favorite rooms and now it is my favorite! This room is where I think the wood floors make a big difference over the white tile. I love how it warms up this space. I call this space the room that will take off because it literally sounds like a plane is taking off when you turn on all the ceiling fans at once! We didn't know what lighting to use in this room so we are planning on replacing some of it soon.
The Living Room Before.
The Living Room After. We removed the arched wall to open up this room and added new fixtures and flooring.
Two Guest Bedrooms Before (don't you love the orange and green carpet?!)
Two Guest Bedrooms After.
Guest Bathroom Before. This room was quite possibly in the worst shape of any room in the house. You can see the wall in the shower was actually falling in!
Guest Bathroom After. This room was completely gutted because of the terrible shape it was in. I was inspired by a design that I saw in Pottery Barn (surprise, surprise!) for this bath. We used a subway tile and gray marble accent trim on the walls. The vanity is a white wood with a similar gray and white marble top. We still need to find the right mirrors for this room!
The Craft Room Before.
The Craft Room After...or should I say Lila Grace HQ! I am so excited to have my own dedicated space for sewing and crafting! I kept this space very clean and simple so it can be dressed up with lots of fun accessories. I found this chandelier at Ikea for like $30. Amazing deal! 
Master bedroom before.
Master Bedroom After. The pocket french doors lead into the craft room! I used a color called Manchester Tan for this room, again by Benjamin Moore for Pottery Barn.
The Master Bath before.
The Master Bath After. We found an amazing deal on honey onyx and marble from a local tile dealer and used it through out the bathroom.
Can't wait to share pictures as I start to decorate during 2011! Happy New Year everyone!
