Kilz, White paint, rollers,paint brushes, tape, old sheets ( that I dug out of the close just for this)and marble contact paper.
Bet one can guess now what I’ve been doing.😄
LouAnn is home from school teaching for the summer. She wanted something different to do before buckling down to bulletin boards and lesson plans.
I jumped at that .. this house needed a facelift in many of the rooms .
First we started on the little hallway that was an off orangish yellow( these were the colors that were here when we bought the place . The painted walls were in good shape so I just lived with these colors until they needed redone.) sorry ,I didn’t take pictures of the hallway or the little bathroom .. they were the same color.
Here are the two rooms done…

The bathroom was a sea breeze blue.

Then we tackled my bathroom …
It was a green with gold border paper

This is the color before contact paper make over



LouAnn and I have two more rooms to work on,then we decided to start going through stuff that has sat in the closets for way toooo long.
It has been so good to work with a daughter again!!
And Lynn ,our first daughter is going to have another baby in Dec. ,so I’m going to be MomMom twice this year!!
Take care ,friends.

You have been busy. We did the same thing last Fall. I think we dropped donations at Good Will everyday. The only difference is, no grandchildren 😦 yet.

We won’t be able to do the drop offs that often,(an hour away) but I’m sure that goodwill will see a nice load.

Now that is a refreshing change for you! I am a fan of light walls too, I lived in our house almost 10 years before I had enough nerve to put any color on the walls!

It is refreshing! I’ve put color on walls before,it’s just I favor light colors.. dark walls make me feel closed in.

Wow, I love the changes! That bathroom black marble is contact paper? I’m shocked and enticed to think of that, as well. Is it just regular contact paper?

It’s a Vinyl contact paper that I got off of Amazon. It’s sure dress up a drab counter top.

This is wonderful! I’m with Susan Nixon on that contact paper question! I have a nasty early 60s Formica counter that needs replacing and will probably have to be done professionally… no money for that! The counter and sink area is little used as it is the guest bath, so your contact paper might be just the solution for us.
