retro house reno update

So lots of people who read this blog know that we are renovating our little piece of the coast, The Retro House, as we have named it..in the past few months we have done a few things..it is a work in progress and we really love it...so here are some pics of what we have been doing, before's & afters....the story so far...

Freckles room before (note this is NOT our furniture it was the tenants!)

and after... the kids each chose their own feature wall colour, I am not a fan of feature walls at all I must say, but they each wanted their room a colour so we compromised, freckles wanted fluro green..bit scary but it works so well for you, she loves it...

 The boys room before, once again not our furniture the tenants..note all the lovely tiles throughout...yuck!

  

 After - The boy wanted a black wall, so he got it..we love it it looks great...

Before - Our room, mmmmm isn't this a stunner...it was like a hospital room, I hated it..

 After - this is how it looks at the moment..not the ensuite is the next on our list!

 also here is the boy sleeping on our bed at the front door whilst we were doing the painting...

We have also recently painted about 80% of the rest of the inside of the house..including the poo brown wall that I loathed..it has all been painted in Resene Quarter Tea, and we love it..no after shots yet as we are still deciding on curtains, and light fittings..but very soon...

We also did a bit of a makeover on the party zone out the back, sorry for the crap photos but I took these tonight..will have to get some during the day...
