My husband & I purchased our home in May of 2002. Since then we have painted the entire thing...twice. The first time was fresh off our honeymoon to Mexico. We loved the bright colors that Mexico had to offer and so we painted bright colors in our home. Turquoise & Royal blue in our kitchen & dining room, purple in our living room, orange in the master bedroom, lime green in the laundry and pink in the other bedroom.
Since that time our tastes (mostly my taste) has mellowed. When we created a new master bedroom last year out of the addition the last owners had built, we realized it would be a good opportunity to start choosing colors all over again. And so we did.
The master went light blue with a white walk in closet and gray master bathroom. Our living room went a pretty sand color. We left the kitchen alone since we still love the colors of the ocean. The other full bathroom also went pale blue and the guest bedroom went gray with a lighter gray 1/2 bathroom.
These last few days I have been working on the rest of the house. The office is going from pink to...white. It was a hard choice to make and we went back and forth between yellow and blue but eventually when with plain all white.
I am also painting all the brown wood baseboard from the 1980s to a fresh white. It is taking four coats of paint which is a lot of work! More photos to come but here are a few.
Here are a few of our "before" and "after" photos:
