What a Little Paint Can Do

All it took was paint, a new curtain panel and rod, a few new towels, a candle, dollar store picture frames and an Ikea track light. Under $150 for everything.

Before—cringe-worthy, right? This is what it looked like before we moved in and for three (!) years after.

The new toilet was added last spring, along with another on the top floor. Hallelujah, we were finally able to retire the plunger to the basement. Home Despot was having a sale and the county was offering a generous rebate on water efficient toilets.
When the carmel colour went on the walls, I thought, Oh no, but the curtain over the shower pulled it all together in the end.
