oh yeah, before and after

so I wrote a superlongwinded post about painting the living room, but did not have any pretty
pretty pictures. oooh shiny pretty candy pictures... luckily I have them for the master bedroom!
(clicky clicky on the thumbnails)

Before:

Note the two wallpapers, and chair rail, held on only by the wee-ist nails and a wing and a prayer.


cause, yeah, I ripped it off with my hands the night before in a fit of "let's if I can tear shit out of the wall!"

During:

Luckily the wallpaper pulled right up. (note the ugly fixture.)


however, the walls were not in the greatest shape.

but they were worlds better after a ton of plaster patching, sanding, and a coat of primer.

After:


oooh, pretty!


so very pretty!

It still needs one more coat of wall color, the baseboard needs scraping and painting, and the carpet/dropcloth will go away. We need to take apart the windows to fix them a bit, and will paint more then.
