It never really ceases to amaze me how much paint can completely change not only the look, but the personality and overall mood of a space. If I were to describe our house before the walls and trim got a paint job, it would be: dated, tired, and boooring. Now, as you will see, it’s fresh, crisp, and thebomb.com. It’s also quite festive with all of the holiday decorating I’ve been doing!
Ok, so here is the living room:

The kitchen:
Yes, that is Miss L eating her breakfast and the dog at her post waiting for some toast to be dropped. I wish I had taken some pictures before we replaced the light fixtures…the brass fixtures that used to be hanging in these areas were very….brass. The curtains that used to be haning here were….cuh-razy.
My goodness you sure stay busy! I love the fireplace mantel makeover. The white paint completely changes the look! Love, love, LOVE!
Ha! You are right, we do stay busy! Thanks Carolina! 🙂
I’m a sucker for milk glass and I love how you used them in your mantle. It looks simply beautiful. Your home overall is coming along beautifully. Great job!

I love how just doing the trim in white gives you a compleely different look! And the fireplace update is unbelieveable!
What paint color did you use for your walls?! I’m having the hardest time deciding what to pick and I fell in love with the one you choose!
Thank you, Jamie! The paint color is “Vapor Trails” by Benjamin Moore. 😉
Wouldn’t mind finding out the paint color you used in the kitchen for the walls! I love it and would like mine that color!
Thank you, Jessi! 🙂 The wall color is called “Vapor Trails” and it’s by Benjamin Moore. 🙂
What a difference! Did you paint the tile on the fireplace? What was that process like? Looking into painting our walls grey, but the tile on our fireplace is all grey, and so are the floors in the kitchen. This is great inspiration, though!
Yes, we had the fireplace tiles painted, Leanne. 🙂 Our painter just primed and painted them right along with the trim! xo
