The House: BEFORE Pictures

From the street.  We loved the Tudor style

Family room/den: The dark wood was screaming "paint me please!"
Sunroom which is now a playroom
Eat-in kitchen.  Please note the wallpaper.
Eat in kitchen looking into the kitchen.  First order of business was removing the cabinet obstructing the view into the kitchen.  It has made a HUGE difference.
Kitchen.  At least the countertops are granite.  Sort of makes up for the 11 inch deep cabinets.
Kitchen again.
Guest room.  They had changed the lovely blue carpet for white, but the brown walls still remained...
Downstairs bathroom wallpaper and fixture. She loved wallpaper. 
Formal Living room.  I wish this were a better picture so you could really grasp the impact of the red walls.
Formal dining.  Red walls again.
Bar.  The wallpaper still remains.  I'm thinking of keeping it.  #kidding
The bar light.  It will remain.  I actually love it. It's sort of kitsch.
Fireplace in the master.
Backyard - which is actually great.
Backyard
Boys' bathroom tile.  Master bath tile. Parquet floors downstairs. Guest bath tile.

So she needs some love.  A facelift if you will.  We've already painted most of the house and taken down the wallpaper, which has made a HUGE difference.  We're thinking a full kitchen renovation is in order, but are not ready to tackle that just yet.  However, more more burnt dinner in my 1970s oven and we may get there.

It's a work in progress, but it's our home.
