Very beautiful ..,,,,ready for you to enjoy :)

All I can say is.......perfection !

Gorgeous!

Thanks Alana. I refused to even look around till I got the artwork back!!! And they didn't remove the screws so rehanging was easy. Except for 3 pieces above the piano, which were never perfectly aligned. Im contemplating getting the pros in to hang those.

Probably tomorrow, cuz I'm v busy today, I will get good daylight pics and post them. Maybe before and afters.

I hope you are liking it as much as we are! If you are not there yet, that's ok too. Even the best changes take some getting used to.

Your home belongs in a magazine, Drdeb! It is more beautiful than I imagined. I bet you are thrilled. Enjoy :-)

As promised some daylight (❤️) pics

I'd say your house has gained character! And it's a lovely shade of white, nothing stark or too bright about it.

I like both the before and after! Ha. So, are you satisfied with the results?

I deleted the befores babophz! They were making me anxious again lol!!

All the colors in the rooms just seem so much more vibrant! I really like it!

It's very pretty!

What, your white doesn't emanate magical heavenly light from nowhere like in professional pics? You clearly chose the wrong shade ;)

It is very beautiful! The muslin was quite nice too, so it's no surprise that you like the pics with the muslin as well. Sometimes, painting goes from an ugly color to a nice color but in your case, you went from a really nice color to an even better color.

Ann, well said!

Yes, of course we all understand:)

I haven't seen Avery lately but I remember her house was also getting painted white (I think). Do you know if her house was painted and if she's also enjoying the change?

Does the rest of your family like it too?

That's a great angle! Your home is really very lovely.

Thank you Tems!!

Your rooms are so beautiful this last pic is fabulous

Thank you Tracey!! Thank you Karen!!

drdeb, not so much snow here also as compared to last winter which was probably the worst in 20yrs. Had a covering of snow yesterday but giving warm the rest of the week. Snowdrops are blooming & the crocus are peeping out.

One of the best features that the new paint brings to your rooms is that the time of day & the changing seasons will give you many different looks. That way you will never get tired of the color.

I have a green in my kitchen/dining room . In winter when the sun is lower in the sky & therefore shines more into the rooms the color looks lighter & more warm which we really need here in coastal Nova Scotia where the winters can be very dreary. We are sun deprived at that time of year so the warmth of the color is very uplifting.

Just the word "crocus" makes me all jumpy with spring fever!!! Can't wait!!

Hi, are you loving it? Any other pics? I'm loving the dining room : )

Beautiful home! Love the white! I just might do the same with my house, maybe it will solve my color issue. Great advise everyone!

Linda, I've shown pics of all the significant areas. The last week has been spent on hallways and bathrooms - lots of door and trim work so it's slow going, and not that interesting!! I'm moving towards loving it!! Anxious moments now v infrequent!! And yes, at the time I saw the dining room in that light and took the picture I WAS loving it!!

chopperdoll, thank you for the kind words. I don't know what your "colour issue" is - maybe start a dilemma with pics and questions if you want more personalized advice? Houzzers are great!!

Oh, I've seen your dilemma! I follow Groveraxle so I see everything she comments on. You have a lovely room!!! I think white walls would be fantastic, but I also think colourful art (in addition to the white walls??) would really give you that oomph that you want

What a lovely room, chopperdoll! White walls would certainly brighten things up, but when choosing a white, you have to take the undertone of your chairs' fabric into account. I'd go a bit lighter than that.

Oh and I agree with drdeb about the art.
