We have decided to stay in this apartment for another school year -- so something needed to be done to spice it up a little bit! The house has great architectural style, but someone drown it out by painting everything white! Seeking to give the house it's full potential, I begged the landlords to let us paint! Since it isn't our own, the neutral 'tan' was decided upon. We just started with the living room/family room/office/dining room (which is all one room...you'll see!) Here's some photos before and after.

Aren't the 'sixties style' baseboards and trim around the windows cute? You couldn't even see them before. It adds so much warmth to our little place, and makes it feel a little more like a home. We love it! (and it doesn't look so yellow in person!) I want to do it in the small bedroom too, but the bed would have to be taken apart to reach the walls -- since it fits in so snug! We'll see.

So, so cute! I love it! What nice landlords you have to let you do that!
What a difference! You are so talented.
Wow! It's amazing the difference a little paint makes. I love it!
i wish we could paint! i hate being a renter (which i feel like we'll be for life!). everything looks lovely! xoxo
It looks great, I love the colors. Anytime you're free, you're welcome to come over and help us out with our house. It could use it! Hope all is well.
That looks so good. Way to go!
Wow! What a difference! Good for you guys! We have those same tall baseboards in our 1937 home, and I love them!
what a yummy color! luv it
What a difference! It all looks so cute!
You have a cute house! I need to redecorate. :)
love it! Paint makes such a big difference... I wish we could paint- renting kind of puts a damper on all that. It's not too bad because our walls are more creamy than white but it's the super cheap cheap contractors paint that rubs off when you breathe next to it!
Love the painting job. I think the landlord is lucky to have you!
