Seeing as our new home was a foreclosure, we were lucky that there weren't too many things that needed fixing. The hardwoods are beautiful and just needed a wipe from my Swiffer Wet Jet. We went back and forth on replacing the carpets that were in the rest of the home, but decided against that $4,000 price tag (for 1300 sq feet!) and went with Stanley Steemer instead. I can't sing their praises enough. They're locally franchised, so every location will be different- but the folks in the Nashville office were fantastic! They went back and forth with me about dates and times since we had so many issues getting to closing. The service was impeccable and our carpet looks brand new, and the price of $185 was music to my ears.
We hired a painter to do every single wall and ceiling in the home. Bobby was honest in saying that our trim wasn't in bad shape, and that we could save money by not having it done. What? Someone wanted to actually charge us less?!? We chose 4 colors to use on the walls (all from Behr): Ryegrass, Harvest Brown, Rhino, and Pensive Sky. All ceilings and closets were painted white.
Sorry for all the word vomit- but I thought you might want some explanation for my disgusting length of absence.
So which before and after do you want to see first?

I voted living room! I know making over the living room was the biggest transformation in our foreclosure home, so I would love to see yours! Your paint colors look gorgeous together. Can't wait to see!
