What paint can really do

 It's amazing what a paint can do to transform a house into a home. I am still blogging about all the changes we've made to the house since moving in. I have painted every single room this past year and now I am starting on the outside. More to come...

This is Brody's room it was the Haley Davidson room with orange walls and paper border. This room did not trill me.

I had a lot of fun painting the stripes. I'd never done that before. It really gave that wall, a little something extra.

We put a trundle bed in there, perfect for sleepovers. Other than a new bed, it's all his old stuff from the previous house. I just hung up some curtains that he can't swing from and some pictures on the walls complete his bedroom.

Below is a picture of our house, the blue shutters were not really working for me. So instead of buying new ones that can be expensive we bought some black spray paint.


They were very easy to take down however putting them back was a harder than we thought. We had to buy some new tacks that hold them up and we should have marked them top and bottom because the holes weren't lining up right.

But it was worth the aggravation because the house looks great with black shutters. I think the whole project cost us about 10.00 for the spray paint and the tacks.

I couldn't have done it without my hubby, he's so handy.

Our house  looks so much nicer now.
