the apartment–before
August 3, 2008
When we moved in, our apartment needed a little (or a LOT) of TLC. We saw the potential–structurally, it’s a lovely place. It has lots of room. We don’t feel crowded, and we loved that we could really make it our own.
Through the process of painting the entire place (originally, it was all yellow. But not bright, cheery yellow. More like jaundice), I wondered if the colors I’d chosen were right. As it stands, I’m thrilled with it. Some people would call it too dark. I find it simple and sophisticated, and even calming. The key is bright accents and bright white trim.
We are not done with 100% of the painting (being as though doors and trim drink up paint), but this gives you the idea.
I’ll show you the before pictures, then I’ll post the post-paint-and-decor pics.
