Extreme Home Makeover

Yes, I can finally say that after a year and a half, I halfway like our living room! I wish I had taken before pictures... but no luck.  You know what they say - hindsight is always 20/20.  Anyway, to paint you a quick visual: our living room walls started off with this vomit-inducing peachy pink that continue all the way up to the ceiling and even the trim pieces.  The fan that hung from our 18 foot vaulted ceilings was bright gold, circa 1980, and it was hideous. The previous owners had a terrible design sense... hopefully mine is a tad better.

After repainting the walls, putting up new pictures, buying a big area rug and moving our couches downstairs, installing a custom mini bar underneath our stairwell and mounting a flat screen tv over the fireplace, it looks like a totally new house!  We are pretty happy with the end result.  See for yourself!  We still have to repaint the trim and you'll see a little bit of green tape by the bar because we're painting under the stairwell but other than that, it's pretty much done!

 You can see Fergi's creepy, glowing eyes on the rug!
 Justin's favorite part of the house! The kegerator and little bar area with wine opener, martini shaker, etc.
Frames on main hallway wall!

View from the dining room... it's looking pretty good!

Thoughts? Anyone? Any suggestions??
