Before and After

 

I always love to see before and after pictures from house projects, and I amazingly remembered to take a few shots to show the stark difference in my boy's room.  If they were 3 and 4, they would love this room, but being 11 and 14, they wanted a more mature look.  They chose a soft blue and green for their respective sides of the room.  This bedroom is ridiculously huge, and it looks even bigger now with the new paint color.  Eventually, I will get a few more math and architecture decorations up, but for now it is pretty spartan.

 

 

The closets looked almost yellow next to that vibrant blue, but with a new color they take on the beautiful wood tones once again.

 

We have an extra bed in the room, so that whenever we have company, Brandon can sleep in a bed downstairs.  We even kept the extra mattress for other company.  It is nice to have the room for them without feeling crowded.

This is the view of Andrew's side on the left and Connor's on the right.

 

Andrew's new corner is in the blue he chose with green behind the bookcase.

Connor's side before:

And after:

I used one coat of Sherwin William's primer and then one coat of their highest grade paint and it worked wonders!  I will never buy Wal-Mart paint again.

This is Connor's green side.  It is actually a richer color than the pictures let on.
