Well it's been officially 1 week and the "Purple House Transformation" is taking way nicely. We have been with out Internet for the past week and that has put us out of the loop quite a bit. But it did allow us to focus 100% of our attention to getting this purple house transformed!
What's been done so far? Well....
The living room has had it's vertical blinds removed, and 4 coats of "Brazil Nut" applied to each purple wall. The purple trim around the patio door and window has been painted (again with 4-6 coats of paint) with "Crisp Linen". We also have some pieces of furniture and art taking place on finished walls. Since the dining and living is essentially one space I have chosen to have the same drapes for both spaces.
The kitchen's older cabinetry is 1/2 painted (white) with the other doors on it's way....The eating nook has had it's pine wood wainscoting painted a white with "Tibetan Orange" on the top as a POP of colour with in this home. The counter top has been purchased but not installed yet and the brick walls are being 1/2 ripped out and 1/2 painted. (due to time constraints and budgeting we have decided to keep the original kitchen and just spruce it up with easy fixes ANYONE can apply to their own home for sale or for living)
The master bedroom is finished with an accent wall in a turquoise that was pulled out from a favourite painting of elephants running in the African desert with dust being kicked up into a turquoise sky. The bedding is a chocolate colour with minor detailing to it in tan. This space is peaceful and a great bed time retreat.
As you can see lots has been done in the past week and I'm sure as you can imagine much more needs to be done, finish the kitchen cabinetry, paint the sitting room, remove wall paper and paint in the guest bedroom, set up office, replace ALL electrical switches and outlets etc.
so with time and persistence this home will be finished hopefully by the end of September for sanity's sake! lol it's a great home, great location and great spaces.
After photo's will be posted once the whole home is done to leave you in suspense!
Cheers
